I co-founded the Vitiligo Foundation of India to build a community where patients, researchers, and dermatologists can connect, learn, and find real support.

This is the incredible group of over 200 delegates who participated in our inaugural Vitiligo Foundation of India CME & Workshop in New Delhi. The energy and enthusiasm to learn and collaborate were truly inspiring.

During our VFI event, we were honored to have a virtual presentation from Dr. John Harris, a leading Vitiligo researcher. This slide shows his team and highlights the global collaborations we are fostering.
