Dr. Shadab Ahmed
DR. SHADAB AHMED was born and brought up in the resilient and magical North-East India,
growing up between guns and roses. Moving pan-India at various ages, his voracious appetite for
knowledge and wisdom led him into books, refining his perception and comprehension about the
good, bad and wicked in life. He retains an inner child and has a combustible imagination. He is more
adept into the administrative side of things and keeps a heavy hand and heart, though surgeons were
always meant to be delicate and refined.
