A Journey Dedicated to Children With Complex Immune Disease
Foundation
MBBS — Shri M. P. Shah Medical College, Jamnagar
His medical journey began with an MBBS from Shri M. P. Shah Medical College, Jamnagar, followed by postgraduate training in Paediatrics at Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Bengaluru.
Early Practice
Dev Children's Hospital, Rajkot
After several years of practising as a paediatrician and establishing Dev Children's Hospital in Rajkot, he developed a deep interest in children with complex illnesses that often remained undiagnosed despite multiple consultations. Witnessing the uncertainty experienced by these children and their families inspired him to pursue one of the most specialised and rapidly evolving fields in paediatric medicine.
National Fellowship

He completed the prestigious Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) Fellowship in Paediatric Rheumatology under the mentorship of Dr. Sujata Sawhney, one of the pioneers of Paediatric Rheumatology in India and among the country's most respected leaders in the specialty.
International Fellowship
PReS & APLAR — Great Ormond Street Hospital, London
His pursuit of advanced training continued through international fellowship opportunities with the Pediatric Rheumatology European Society (PReS) and the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR), culminating in advanced fellowship training at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, where he gained experience in managing complex rheumatic diseases, immune dysregulation, inborn errors of immunity, rare genetic disorders and advanced targeted therapies.
