Her story
The girl who stood first, who never forgot
Dr. Swati's MBBS years were spent in lecture halls and long night duties, and she finished in 1996 with a First Class. Radiodiagnosis followed at T N Medical College and B Y L Nair Hospital, Mumbai — and she didn't just clear her MD, she stood 2nd in Mumbai University. That wasn't a coincidence. It was a habit.
In 2001, at a time when very few young radiologists took the entrepreneurial route, she opened her own practice: Anumaan Diagnostic Centre, in Kalyan. No funding, no brand, no shortcuts — just a machine, steady hands and a promise to every patient who walked in. She ran it for eighteen years, building it into a referral centre trusted across the region for colour Doppler, 3D/4D imaging and elastography. Later came Precision Diagnostic Centre in Borivali, where she focused on fetal medicine, prenatal genetics and interventional ultrasound.
But here's the part she loves to tell: even after decades in practice, she kept going back to being a student. A 16-month fetal medicine fellowship in Bengaluru. A diploma in invasive prenatal procedures under Dr. Giovanni Monni in Italy. Ovarian tumour certification with the IOTA group in Belgium. Fetal echocardiography under Dr. S. Suresh in Chennai. Gynaecology ultrasound under Dr. Mala Sibal. Management training at ISB. If there was a better way to scan — she learned it, and then taught it forward.
Today she heads radiology at two Mumbai hospitals and trains doctors from across India. And that's why this program exists: she has seen, first-hand, how much skill sits unopened inside Indian clinics — and how one good mentor, standing beside you, can change what a doctor does for the next thirty years.
"Nobody hands a doctor the whole map. I had to gather it piece by piece — the scanning, the machine, the running of a clinic, and the humility to fly across the world and be a student again at forty. My job now is to hand you all of it together, so you don't have to collect it the way I did."
Dr. Swati Kshirsagar
Indian School of Business
The clinician who went back to the classroom
After twenty-five years of clinical practice, and two departments to her name, Dr. Swati chose the harder seat in the room again — the student's. She graduated from the MPM-CX — Management Programme for Medical Doctors at ISB, sitting alongside doctors from across the country and studying exactly what no scan teaches: how a medical practice actually runs.
Radiology school teaches you to read images. It never teaches you to read a balance sheet, build a duty roster, run an audit, or have the hard conversation with a team member who isn't working out. Most doctors learn those lessons by trial and costly error — or never learn them at all, and watch a good skill stay small for lack of everything around it.
That's the gap her ISB year was about. Not a business degree for its own sake — but the same clinical rigour she brings to a scan, applied to the operations of a centre: how decisions are made, where quality is won or lost, why some practices grow with their patients' trust and others quietly lose it.
01
Operations, not guesswork
How a high-volume department actually runs — scheduling, staffing, patient flow, and the small decisions that decide whether a day runs calm or chaotic.
02
Quality as a system
Protocols, audits, compliance and PC-PNDT discipline — so what you build is safe by design, not safe by luck.
03
Growth you can stand behind
What sustainable practice looks like — investing in skill and trust first, and letting reputation compound instead of shortcuts.
In your five days with her, this side of her training sits quietly in the background — in how the program is structured, how your questions about running a centre are answered, and how she thinks about your practice after the scan is over. A doctor who has studied medicine and management is a rare kind of guide.
AI in Healthcare
Among the few doctors trained for what's coming next
Artificial intelligence is quietly entering the ultrasound room — from image optimisation to automated measurements and reporting aids. Formal training in AI for healthcare is still rare: only a small number of doctors in India, and a small number internationally, have studied it properly. Dr. Swati is one of them.
01
Formally trained
Certified training in AI in Healthcare — not a webinar, a structured programme on how AI actually works in clinical practice.
02
Rare, here and abroad
Few doctors nationally — and few internationally — hold this training. It puts her, and her students, ahead of a curve most practices haven't seen yet.
03
Taught forward
She brings this lens into the five days — so you learn not just today's sonology, but how to read the tools that are arriving next.
Where she scans
A working clinician, not a visiting lecturer
Everything she teaches, she does every day — on real referrals, in busy departments, with PC-PNDT paperwork and all.
