My Journey of Dreams, Struggles & Dedication

From a Small Village to Becoming a Leading Ayurvedic Doctor in Pune

I was born in a small village called Nathachiwadi, in Taluka Daund, District Pune, talking about his journey of dreams, struggles and dedication. Growing up in a rural setting, my world was simple — narrow lanes, modest homes, kind-hearted neighbors, and a school where dreams often felt out of reach. But deep inside, I nurtured a dream that was anything but small — I wanted to become a doctor.


🌱 The Beginning: A Dream is Born

I still remember sitting on the floor of our small classroom, admiring my teachers and wondering how people became doctors. Our village didn’t have a hospital, and for even minor ailments, people had to travel far. That lit a fire in me —
“One day, I will become a doctor and serve those without access to healthcare.”

My family gave me the most important things — blessings, encouragement, and belief.


📚 Education Against All Odds

Education in rural India comes with challenges — power cuts, no access to books, and language barriers. I studied under oil lamps, borrowed notes from seniors, and walked long distances to school.

But I never gave up. These hardships became the foundation of my discipline and focus.


🌟 The Turning Point

With determination and support from my teachers, I got selected for B.A.M.S. at Ayurved Medical College, Wagholi. Later, I completed my post-graduation from Ayurveda College, Ashta Sangli.
I chose Ayurveda because it resonates with our roots and offers natural, holistic healing — something deeply needed in rural India.

That moment changed everything for me.


🏥 Today: A Trusted Ayurvedic Doctor in Pune

Today, I serve as an Ayurvedic doctor specializing in liver, kidney, thyroid, and skin diseases, with 20+ years of experience. At Sri Sai Anand Ayurved Panchakarma Centre in Bibwewadi, Chinchwad, Mumbai, and Nagpur, I treat patients not just with medicine but with compassion and connection.

I teach my patients that healing begins with nature, nutrition, and lifestyle balance.


🏆 Achievements That Matter Most

While awards like the Health Mantra Award by Sakal Newspaper are humbling, my greatest reward is seeing

patients smile — especially those who, like me, come from rural backgrounds. I see my younger self in them.


🙏 Final Thoughts: Believe in Your Dreams

If you come from a small village or a simple background, please know this:
Your dreams are valid. Your roots do not limit you — your mindset does.
I am living proof that with faith, effort, and purpose, anything is possible.
