India’s expertise in robotic gynaecologic surgery took the global center stage at RoboGynIndia 2025, held August 2–3 in Mumbai, through a dynamic partnership with the Vattikuti Foundation. This landmark annual conference, themed Robotic Surgery in Gynaecology—Redefining Boundaries, brought together top robotic surgeons, healthcare innovators, and international experts in a two-day showcase blending academic exchange, live video presentations, and strategic collaboration for the future of women’s healthcare.
Key Highlights from RoboGynIndia 2025
The event, hosted by the Association of Gynecological Robotic Surgeons of India (AGRS) and sponsored by the Vattikuti Foundation, saw leading robotic gynecologic surgeons and global specialists deliberate on advanced clinical techniques, the latest innovations, and transformative patient outcomes.
Notable guests included cancer survivor and actress Sonali Bendre and Tina Ambani, Chairperson of Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, who jointly emphasized the vital role of equity and advanced technology in redefining women’s health and surgical care.
The conference spotlighted innovation through live academic exchanges, competitive surgical video presentations, and real-world case studies of minimally invasive robotic interventions.
India’s Expanding Robotic Surgery Ecosystem
The Vattikuti Foundation continues its legacy of fostering robotic surgery in India, from supporting the earliest pioneering surgeons to enabling a new generation of experts.
Conference events included the prestigious AGRS-Vattikuti Scholar Awards: five emerging surgeons were named Vattikuti Scholars, awarded ₹500 each and recognized for exceptional surgical video presentations.
Vattikuti Foundation’s partnership extends to strategic initiatives such as scholarships, fellowships, and global innovation awards—with the KS International Innovation Awards offering $10,000 USD prizes for outstanding achievements in robotic surgery.
Special focus was given to training and mentorship, highlighting programs supervised by Dr. Rooma Sinha, the first gynecologist in India to perform 1,000 robotic surgeries.
Academic and Social Impact
Panel discussions covered the expanding frontiers of robotic-assisted gynaecologic procedures, with sessions on standardization, patient availability, cost-effectiveness, and equitable access.
Surgeons and hospital administrators addressed how India’s adoption of robotic platforms is driving excellence in oncology and complex benign disease management, placing Indian healthcare within the global forefront of high-tech, minimally invasive surgery.
The event also underscored the importance of collaborative data collection, ongoing outcomes research, and the Vattikuti Collaborative Quality Initiative (VCQI) to benchmark results and share best practices internationally.
Empowering the Next Generation
Applications opened during the conference for the 2025-2026 Vattikuti Fellowship Program, offering Indian and global robotic surgeons the chance to train at high-volume centers under world-class mentors.
The initiative serves to expand India’s influence and contribution to robotic surgical education, innovation, and patient care worldwide.
Looking Ahead
RoboGynIndia 2025 reinforced India’s stature as a global leader in robotic gynecologic surgery, riding on a vibrant ecosystem of technology, talent, and collaboration. With strong industry partnerships, a focused push for equitable access, and relentless commitment to training, India is poised to further redefine the possibilities of minimally invasive surgery and transform outcomes for women’s health.
