RoboGynIndia 2025 concludes in Mumbai with emphasis on advancing robotic gynaecology in India

RoboGynIndia 2025, the annual event of the Association of Gynaecological Robotic Surgeons of India (AGRS), concluded its fourth edition on August 3 at the Taj Santacruz, Mumbai. The two-day event, held on August 2–3, was themed “Robotic Surgery in Gynaecology—Redefining Boundaries” and brought together experts from across India and globally for academic and clinical discussions.

Organised in association with the Vattikuti Foundation, the conference featured sessions by leading robotic gynaecologic surgeons. The event was attended by Tina Ambani, Chairperson of Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, as Chief Guest, and actor and cancer survivor Sonali Bendre as Special Guest. Both speakers stressed the role of innovation in women’s healthcare and the need for increased access to advanced surgical technologies.

The Vattikuti Foundation continued its collaboration with AGRS by supporting the Vattikuti Scholar Awards. Five emerging robotic surgeons were honoured for their surgical video presentations, receiving a $500 grant each and the title of AGRS Vattikuti Scholar.

Dr. Mahendra Bhandari, CEO of the 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 recognise emerging talent, foster innovation and drive the future of women’s healthcare.”

Dr Rooma Sinha, Founder and President of AGRS and Senior Mentor at the 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 last 3 years since it was registered at Hyderabad, Telangana, 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 which has now become the standard, not the exception, in women’s healthcare.”

The event concluded by underlining India’s evolving position in robotic-assisted surgery and the contribution of collaboration, technology, and training in the development of surgical care for women.
