## Academic career

Dr. Hinduja's passion for medicine sparked when she was 9 years old. A broken bone had led her to the hospital, where she saw professionals in lab coats who appeared to have solutions. By the age of 32, she had completed her Doctorate in Medicine and was pursuing her phD in IVF research at the National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health.[4]

She has obtained PhD degree for her thesis entitled 'Human in Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer' from the Bombay University. She is a full-time practicing Obstetrician and Gynaecologist of the P.D. Hinduja Hospital, Mahim West, Bombay.[3]

Hinduja is currently an honorary obstetrician and gynecologist at P.D. Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Mumbai.[5]
