Dr Suresh K. Pandey is a world-renowned eye surgeon, a passionate author, motivational speaker, cyclist and philanthropist. Born into enfeebling poverty in Mohna, a village in Rajasthan with no electricity, sanitation or roads, he spent his schooling years studying in the dim glow of a lantern. A prodigious academic, his passion to learn microsurgery took him all over the world, from Chandigarh, to the USA, and later, Australia.

He finally returned home to establish SuVi Eye Institute & Lasik Laser Centre, Kota, with his life partner, Dr Vidushi Sharma. Their labour of love is now one of India’s best-known and loved eye hospitals. Driven purely by passion, ingenuity and a deep spirituality, Dr Pandey is set on a lifelong mission to eliminate blindness.

His story is an inspiring account of how the singular pursuit of your dreams despite all the odds being stacked against you can benefit and bring hope to millions.
