Dr. Riddhi Doshi, Fertility specialist & IVF expert

WhatsApp Image 2025 03 23 at 4.41.50 PM edited

Dr. Riddhi Doshi, a leading fertility specialist and IVF expert in Mumbai, has dedicated her career to helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility. As the founder of her IVF clinic, she specializes in advanced reproductive treatments such as IVF, ICSI, egg freezing, and fertility preservation, offering personalized, evidence-based care to those struggling to conceive.

Her journey into reproductive medicine was driven by the emotional toll infertility takes on couples. Witnessing their struggles firsthand ignited a passion for making parenthood possible for those who had lost hope. The ever-evolving field of fertility science, combined with the deeply personal impact of every successful case, continues to fuel her commitment to the profession.

What sets her clinic apart is its blend of cutting-edge technology and a compassionate, patient-centric approach. Beyond medical treatments, she emphasizes holistic fertility care, integrating lifestyle modifications and emotional counseling to support patients through their journey. With high success rates and a strong commitment to ethical, transparent protocols, her clinic stands as a trusted name in reproductive health.

Over the years, IVF has advanced tremendously, with innovations like time-lapse embryo monitoring, AI-assisted embryo selection, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). These breakthroughs have significantly improved success rates while making the process more patient-friendly. Despite these advancements, misconceptions about IVF persist. Many believe it’s a last resort or that it guarantees success in a single cycle, while others fear that IVF babies are weaker—myths that scientific research has long disproven.

Among her most memorable cases was a couple in their 40s who had faced multiple IVF failures at other clinics. With a customized approach and holistic interventions, they finally conceived. The moment they held their baby after years of struggle reaffirmed why she chose this path.

Beyond medical expertise, Dr. Doshi recognizes the critical role of lifestyle and diet in fertility. Poor nutrition, stress, and obesity can negatively impact reproductive health, which is why she incorporates dietary plans, stress management techniques, and even yoga into her patient care.

For aspiring doctors and healthcare professionals, her message is clear: medicine is not just a career; it’s a responsibility. In fertility treatment, empathy is just as essential as expertise.

Inspired by resilient women making a difference, Dr. Nishita credits her mentors and teachings of Louise Hay for her transformation into a life coach. Despite facing the challenge of balancing family life and career aspirations, she now champions the belief that harmonious relationships and a fulfilling career are attainable.

After completing her MBBS and internship, she pursued her MD in Dermatology at L.T.M.C. & General Hospital, Sion, graduating in 2019.

By 2024, she expanded with a second branch in Powai, serving over 6,000 patients across both locations.

Mumbai has been her biggest inspiration—a city full of energy, resilience, and endless opportunities. But her deeper motivation has always been to make her parents proud. From handling 400+ daily OPD patients in BMC hospitals to presenting research at global dermatology conferences, she has continuously pushed herself to grow. Winning the Best Paper Award at the National Dermoscopy Workshop (2017) led to a scholarship to present at the World Dermoscopy Congress in Greece (2018). She has also presented at the World Congress of Dermatology in Milan (2019) and the First Barcelona Hair Meeting (2022). These milestones reinforced her belief that hard work leads to extraordinary opportunities.

Starting her own practice in Mumbai was challenging, especially without local support and facing high rent costs. She invested her residency savings and bond service salary to open her clinic, relying on patient trust and word-of-mouth to grow. The journey hasn’t been easy, but every challenge has strengthened her.

Outside of dermatology, she is an avid traveler, music lover, and dancer. She trained in Kathak as a child, completed four exams, and later rediscovered her love for dance through Lindy Hop and Swing Out in 2022. She also enjoys reading, cartooning, doodling, and painting.

Her message to aspiring professionals: Follow your intuition and trust your hard work. Sincerity and dedication will never let you down. Have faith in humanity, and trust the journey.

Iti Khinchi is a mom blogger and digital creator known for sharing the humorous and relatable aspects of motherhood through her engaging reels and content. She connects with other mothers by offering a light-hearted perspective on the everyday chaos of parenting, turning the often challenging moments into shared experiences filled with laughter and support.

Iti’s journey into mom blogging began when she found motherhood to be more complex than she initially thought. Seeking a creative outlet to navigate this new chapter of her life, she started documenting her experiences and venting her frustrations. What began as a personal project quickly grew into a platform where she could connect with other moms. Her reels, capturing the hilarity of daily parenting moments, resonated with many, marking the start of her successful career as a mom blogger.

The community of moms Iti has connected with serves as her biggest inspiration. Each mother’s unique story and struggle remind her that she is not alone, and their resilience and creativity continually motivate her. As a woman, Iti has faced the challenge of balancing personal and professional life amidst high societal expectations. However, she has found that embracing her imperfections and sharing them openly has been key to building a genuine and supportive community.

Beyond creating content, Iti is deeply involved in her daughter’s upbringing, which remains her top priority. She also explores new hobbies, from trying different forms of art to reading books that inspire creativity and growth. Being present in her family’s life and creating lasting memories together is essential to her.

To aspiring digital creators and influencers, Iti emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and one’s story. Authenticity, she believes, is what resonates most with people. She encourages others not to fear sharing the messy, imperfect parts of life, as real connections are forged in those moments. Patience is also crucial—success doesn’t happen overnight. Iti advises focusing on building a community rather than just a following, as the rewards will naturally follow.

For Iti, success is not measured by numbers or accolades but by the smiles and laughter of her family when they watch her reels and the supportive comments from her community. Every time she brightens someone’s day or helps a fellow mom feel less alone, she considers it a success. Her journey is about discovering new facets of herself and finding joy in the everyday moments of motherhood.
