Joined as consultant in Sankara Nethralaya and was sent on deputation to RNSN, Kolkata. Was a good learning experience in improving the surgical skills and in capacity building of the Pediatric Ophthalmology Department. Was in the core team of Orbis DC10 project at Kolkata in 2005. Performing live pediatric cataract surgery in the DC 10 aircraft was an enriching experience. From 2007 onwards, when Sankara Nethralaya set up its own hospital in Kolkata, He also evolved into the senior most anterior segment surgeon, handling all complicated cases. Was involved in setting up of the hospital with extremely difficult timelines to build the set up. The rise of the hospital has been meteoric in terms of the number of patients showing their confidence in us.
