Dr. Kunal Nandy

An academically distinguished surgeon from the outset, Dr. Nandy was a rank holder in the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) and completed his MBBS from Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai. He pursued a Master of Surgery (General Surgery) at the same institute, where he developed strong operative fundamentals and contributed to multiple peer-reviewed publications.

With a focused interest in pancreatic cancer and surgical oncology, Dr. Nandy secured an All India Rank 20 in the super-specialty entrance examination and completed his MCh in Surgical Oncology at the Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute, Ahmedabad. During this period, he independently performed over 500 oncological surgeries, encompassing gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, breast, soft-tissue, and retroperitoneal malignancies.

Dr. Nandy subsequently received formal training in robotic surgical oncology, completing a fellowship in laparoscopic and robotic cancer surgery. He further strengthened his robotic and advanced HPB surgical expertise during the highly prestigious two-year HBNI Fellowship in Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery at Tata Memorial Hospital, under the Homi Bhabha National Institute. His surgical repertoire includes robot-assisted and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedures), major liver resections, advanced gallbladder cancer surgeries, distal pancreatectomy, and complex reoperative HPB surgery.

Currently, Dr. Nandy is a faculty member at the prestigious Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar, Chennai. His academic work focuses on outcomes-driven, clinically relevant research in HPB and gastrointestinal cancers, with particular emphasis on complication profiling, risk stratification, and evidence-based surgical practice, aiming to translate research insights directly into improved patient care.
