    I am a dermatologist with over 30 years of experience in clinical practice, academic teaching, research, and organizational leadership. I hold MBBS, MD, and DNB in Dermatology and began my career as faculty at JSS Medical College and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Medical College before establishing CUTIS Academy of Cutaneous Sciences, affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences. CUTIS is now a recognized center for dermatology education, fellowship training, and clinical research.
    Academically, I have authored multiple textbook chapters, served as Editor-in-Chief of the IADVL Textbook of Trichology and Difficult to Treat Hair and Scalp disorders and published over 80 papers in national and international journals. I have conducted more than 100 clinical trials in acne, pigmentation, psoriasis, vitiligo, hair disorders, lasers, and aesthetic dermatology, with a patient database exceeding 15 lakh cases, including 6 lakh trichology cases. I supervise over 25,000 dermatology procedures annually, ranging from lasers to hair restoration surgery
    I have held several leadership roles in dermatology organizations, including Scientific Chair, Dermacon International 2019, Secretary General, World Congress of Cosmetic Dermatology 2017, and Academic Chair, ACSI 2023–24. I am also a past president of KN IADVL and have contributed to SIG Trichology initiatives.
    I am the recipient of numerous awards and orations, including the Dr. AK Bajaj Oration (DERMACON 2025), Prof. T.C. Saikia Memorial Oration (2024), Economic Times Inspiring Dermatologist Award (2019), and Karnataka Vaidya Ratna (2012).
    My professional interests encompass clinical dermatology, trichology, lasers, aesthetic dermatology, biologics, and practice management. With my experience in academic leadership, research, and organizational activities, I aim to contribute to ACSI by strengthening academic initiatives, promoting collaborative research, and mentoring the next generation of dermatologists.
