Risaa IVF’s Journey Featured in My Startup Life – Digital

Excited to be featured in the August edition of My Startup Life – Digital by My Startup TV, where I share the inspiring journey of Risaa IVF — from a simple vision to becoming a trusted name in fertility care. In this feature, I talk about the challenges we’ve overcome, the milestones we’ve achieved, and the many families whose lives we’ve touched along the way. It’s a heartfelt story of hope, resilience, and the unwavering belief that every couple deserves the joy of parenthood.

China’s Fertility Subsidy Is a Wake-Up Call for the World: Insights by Dr. Saarthak Bakshi, Founder of RISAA IVF

I’m excited to share that Digital Scoop India has featured my latest article, “China’s Fertility Subsidy Is a Wake-Up Call for the World”. In this piece, I talk about how China’s decision to support fertility highlights an urgent global challenge — declining birth rates. I’ve shared my thoughts on why countries must act now and how awareness can inspire meaningful change for future generations.

From laptops to lifestyle: How modern habits are affecting male fertility

We often focus on women’s fertility, but modern lifestyle habits are quietly affecting men too. From prolonged laptop use and late-night work to stress, poor diet, and lack of exercise — these everyday choices are contributing to a decline in male fertility. In my recent article featured on TV9 English, I’ve addressed these overlooked factors and why it’s time we start this important conversation.

Explained: How modern lifestyles are leading to increased IVF demand

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.

China’s Fertility Subsidy Is a Wake-Up Call for the World: Insights by Dr. Saarthak Bakshi, Founder of RISAA IVF

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.

Can anti-ageing injections lead to early death?

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.
