RoboGynIndia 2025, the flagship annual event of the Association of Gynaecological Robotic Surgeons of India (AGRS), held for the fourth year, concluded with high momentum and meaningful engagement at the Taj Santacruz, Mumbai. Held on August 2–3, the conference was themed “Robotic Surgery in Gynaecology—Redefining Boundaries” and brought together the country’s most prominent robotic gynaecologic surgeons and global experts for a two-day academic and clinical exchange.
The event was held in association with the Vattikuti Foundation, a pioneering force behind the growth of robotic surgery in India, and was marked by influential voices such as Tina Ambani, Chairperson of Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, who graced the event as Chief Guest, and actress and cancer survivor Sonali Bendre, who attended as Special Guest. Both emphasized the transformative role of innovation in women’s healthcare and the urgent need for equitable access to advanced surgical solutions.
Continuing its long-standing support, Vattikuti Foundation strengthened its strategic alliance with AGRS by recognizing and encouraging emerging talent in the field. As part of its commitment to nurturing the next generation of robotic surgeons, the Foundation sponsored the prestigious Vattikuti Scholar awards and honoured five winners for their outstanding surgical video presentations, each recipient earning a grant of $500 and the distinguished title of AGRS Vattikuti Scholar.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Mahendra Bhandari, CEO, Vattikuti Foundation, said, “RoboGynIndia 2025 has once again demonstrated the incredible depth of talent and innovation within India’s robotic surgical community. Our association with this platform reflects the Foundation’s commitment to nurturing the ecosystem, beginning with training the early pioneers in robotic gynaecology, to now enabling the next generation of surgical leaders. Through initiatives like the AGRS Vattikuti Scholars and Champions Awards, we are proud to recognize emerging talent, foster innovation, and drive the future of women’s healthcare.”
Dr. Rooma Sinha, Founder & President of AGRS and a Senior Mentor at Vattikuti Foundation, added, “RoboGynIndia is not just a conference; it is a catalyst for change in the way we approach surgical care for women. Over the last 3 years since it was registered at Hyderabad, Telangana, the years, it has grown into a movement that celebrates innovation, fosters academic rigor, and inspires a new generation of surgeons to think beyond boundaries. Our partnership with the Vattikuti Foundation has played an important role in this evolution. From mentoring early adopters to now empowering young clinical minds, the Foundation’s vision has always been aligned with advancing excellence and equity in robotic gynaecology. Together, we are shaping a future where precision surgery has now become the standard, not the exception, in women’s healthcare.”
The event concluded with a strong sense of purpose, highlighting India’s increasing leadership in robotic-assisted surgery and the role of global collaboration, technology, and academic exchange in redefining the future of women’s health.
