I feel truly grateful to share that our journey has been featured by ANI News, South Asia’s leading multimedia news agency. Together with Dr. Rita Bakshi, we have built Risaa IVF into a trusted name in fertility care — a place where thousands of families, along with many well-known celebrities, have realized their dream of parenthood. What drives us every day is the commitment to combine advanced fertility treatments with genuine compassion and personalized care, ensuring every couple feels supported on their path to becoming parents.
Honored to have my article featured on News 9 Live, where I shared my views on how modern lifestyles are leading to an increased demand for IVF. Today, stress, late marriages, career priorities, and changing health habits are reshaping fertility trends across the world. It’s important to create more awareness, remove stigma, and provide the right solutions for couples who dream of parenthood.
I recently shared my views in a Dailyhunt feature on China’s fertility subsidy. While the policy is significant for one country, it also highlights a global need—greater fertility awareness, access to treatment, and emotional support for couples. Parenthood is a dream that should not be limited by geography or financial barriers, and conversations like these bring us closer to that vision.
Anti-ageing injections may seem like a quick path to youthful skin, but they can come with serious health risks. In my recent views shared with TV9 English on Shefali Jariwala’s case, I stressed the importance of understanding potential side effects, consulting qualified experts, and prioritising long-term health over short-term beauty goals. Your safety should always come first.

Being recognized at GRICS – Gufics Reproductive Immunology Congress was a truly humbling experience.

Every advancement in reproductive immunology opens new possibilities, reduces struggles, and creates more smiles for families. I feel deeply grateful to be part of this mission.

I believe that when women innovators are given access and support at the right time, they not only build successful businesses but also fuel the growth of our nation.
