Dr. Mahendra Bhandari, CEO of the Vattikuti Foundation has announced a new initiative of the Foundation, the School of Academics. The goal of the school is to provide series of video lectures from prior VF-sponsored programs dealing with important ideas and issues for medical professionals today.

Our surgical innovation pipeline passed through a global network of Vattikuti co-branded institutions, leveraging their strengths for obtaining proof of concept and its ultimate application on human subjects weaving a fool-proof patient safety net.

The Foundation started its social empowerment division in 2009 along with the launch of innumerable programs supporting livelihoods and financial inclusion to increase public awareness of the resources available to them, in order to facilitate alleviation of their own circumstances.
