We are proud to see this recent post from LinkedIn, from one of our Fellows

27 September 2025

We asked Dr. Avijit Banerjee about how his Vattikuti Fellowship contributed to his success. Here's what he told us:

"My fellowship at Medanta under the guidance of Dr. Gagan Gautam has been both immensely fruitful and deeply meaningful. Beyond his vast knowledge, what stood out the most was the warmth with which he treated his fellows—making us feel as though we had known him for decades. His mentorship has been invaluable. For someone who began with minimal experience in robotics, the journey to becoming a confident consultant has been a transformative one, made possible through his guidance.

"I am also grateful to the Vattikuti Foundation for offering young urologists a dream opportunity in robotic training—an experience that fast-tracks careers and shapes futures. I look forward to being associated with the Foundation throughout my professional journey." We look forward to providing top young Indian surgeons with opportunities to enhance their careers- plus provide the benefits that robotic surgery brings- with Fellowships under some of India's top robotic surgeons. The next call for Applications is expected to begin in 2026, mid-year. Please watch our social media and website for announcements.

Congratulations to Dr. Banerjee on his new position at Tata- Kolkata. We also congratulate the new Vattikuti Fellows just getting started in their year-long Fellowships. THANKS to our most generous Mentor Surgeons and their institutions, without them, none of this would be possible.
