About Doctor
Dr. Ankur completed his graduation, postgraduation, and super-specialisation from some of the country’s most reputed medical institutions. He is among the earliest DM super specialists in Paediatric Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology in India. Prior to joining Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road as a Consultant Paediatric Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, he served for over six years as a Senior Consultant in the Allergy and Immunology Unit in one of India’s foremost medical institutions.
He earned his MBBS from SMS Medical College, Jaipur, followed by an MD in Paediatrics from the prestigious Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi. To further advance his expertise, he pursued a DM in Paediatric Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology from PGI Chandigarh, establishing himself as a leader in this highly specialised field.
At Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road, Dr. Ankur brings a wealth of clinical expertise, experience, and compassion in managing complex allergic, immunological, and paediatric rheumatological conditions. His areas of focus include challenging disorders such as angioedema and urticaria, which are often misdiagnosed or detected late, requiring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to care.
Dr. Ankur has conducted numerous awareness and educational programmes for physicians across India and neighbouring countries. He is widely regarded as a leading authority on the diagnosis and management of urticaria and angioedema in India and across several Asia-Pacific nations. During his tenure at PGI Chandigarh, he served as the Director of the Angioedema Centre of Reference and Excellence, an honour conferred upon only two centres in India to date.
He also played a key role in achieving multiple national and international recognitions for the Allergy and Immunology Unit at PGI Chandigarh. These included accreditations from prestigious bodies such as the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the Asia Pacific Society for Immunodeficiencies (APSID), and the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI).
With a deep passion for clinical allergy, immunology, and paediatric rheumatology, Dr. Ankur has a special interest in Kawasaki disease, primary immunodeficiency disorders, arthritis, urticaria, and angioedema. He has authored over 215 publications in peer-reviewed journals and has established several significant international research collaborations.
His contributions have been recognised through numerous national and international awards, including the Young PID Investigator Award by IPOPI, the National Award for Excellence in Academic Clinical Research, the Young Rheumatologist Oration by the Indian Rheumatology Association, the GP Talwar Young Scientist Award, and multiple prestigious academic honours from leading medical bodies.
Dr. Ankur holds several key leadership positions in national and international organisations. Notably, he serves as a Steering Committee Member for the Angioedema Centre of Reference and Excellence (ACARE), a distinction awarded to only four specialists worldwide. He has also served as Joint Secretary of the Indian Society of Kawasaki Disease and currently acts as its Research Coordinator.
His overarching goal is to deliver holistic, patient-centric care that restores near-normal quality of life for individuals with allergic, immunological, and paediatric rheumatological disorders. His long-term vision is to establish a Centre of Excellence in Immunology, Rheumatology, and Allergy at Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road, equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities, including advanced bone marrow transplantation services for primary immunodeficiency diseases.
