November 3rd 2025 | EMCON 2025 – 27th Annual Conference of SEMI – Delhi
🌟Reflections on EMCon 2025 – A Landmark in Emergency Medicine🌟
EMCon 2025 truly stands as one of the biggest and most inspiring Emergency Medicine conclaves in India. The scientific sessions were exceptional — packed with rigorous, relevant, and forward-looking topics that added immense value to everyday clinical practice.
The venue was beautifully arranged, the hospitality meticulous, and the participation overwhelming — a true ocean of emergency physicians, faculty, and delegates from across the globe. The conference embodied both scale and substance.
It was particularly encouraging to see the incredible opportunities provided for young professionals — from oral and poster presentations to simulation and photography competitions, as well as dedicated sessions for young faculty. This spirit of inclusion and mentorship is what makes EMCon special.
I was privileged to speak in the main hall on “Rural Emergency Medicine”, a subject very close to my heart in this second innings of my career. It was fulfilling to share the challenges and practical solutions from our work in peripheral emergency centers.
A special mention to the organizers — Dr. Sanjay, Dr. Ankur Varma, Dr. srinath Kumar, and the entire EMCon 2025 team — for curating a green, innovative, and impactful event. The focus on sustainability, including electric vehicle transport and plastic-free initiatives, deserves high appreciation.
Every element — from scientific design to the banquet and faculty dinner — was simply outstanding.
Congratulations to the entire EMCon 2025 team for an exemplary conference that set new benchmarks for Emergency Medicine in India.

Honoured to be Part of a Life-Saving Legacy
Since 2005, my journey with the American Heart Association—as an ACLS instructor, coordinator, and regional faculty—has been incredibly fulfilling.
In 2019, I was proud to help train 28,564 school children in hands-only CPR in 8 hours, setting a Guinness World Record. I also helped establish the first ASLS training centre in Calicut.
More recently, I played a role in helping Aster MIMS become India’s first AHA-accredited hospital for stroke and STEMI care.
I’m deeply honoured to receive a special appreciation from AHA leadership—dedicated to my incredible team and every lifesaver making a difference.
