Maharishi Kashyap: The Guiding Light of Pediatric Wisdom in India

The Kashyap Institute of Pediatric Superspecialities takes inspiration from Maharishi Kashyap, the father of Indian pediatrics in Ayurveda. His ancient wisdom guides the institute’s mission to provide holistic and compassionate child healthcare. The name reflects a legacy of excellence, not just a tribute.

Over 2,500 years ago, Maharishi Kashyap authored the Kashyap Samhita, a foundational Ayurvedic text on Kaumarabhritya—the science of child and maternal health. It includes insights on neonatal care, nutrition, immunization, and mental development, emphasizing care from infancy rather than just treatment.

Even today, with high infant and child mortality rates in India, especially in Uttar Pradesh, his vision remains vital. Maharishi Kashyap advocated for preventive, personalized care—reminding us that every child deserves dedicated and dignified medical attention.

The Kashyap Institute, based in Lucknow, brings this ancient vision into modern reality. It is a dedicated pediatric facility combining advanced technology with cultural sensitivity. Guided by expert super-specialists, the hospital is committed to ethical, empathetic, and excellent care, carrying forward Maharishi Kashyap’s sacred approach to nurturing life.

Messages from Our Leadership

Dr. Abhinav Agarwal
(Medical Director)

After completing my fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology, I had the privilege of working with some of the finest hospitals in India and abroad. These experiences shaped my vision and strengthened my belief that every child deserves access to world-class pediatric care.

When I returned home, I recognized a critical gap. Multispecialty hospitals were largely adult-centric, while general pediatric setups lacked the infrastructure and specialized approach required for managing complex pediatric conditions. As a result, many trained pediatric specialists, including myself, were forced to compromise in our practice.

This realization became a turning point. From this vision, KIPS was born — a center dedicated entirely to children.

Today, when I look at what we have built together, I feel proud to say, “Yes, we did it.” More than that, I feel inspired — because this is just the beginning of a journey to redefine pediatric superspecialty care in North India.

(Director Clinical Operations and Academic)

Our team of pediatric superspecialists is dedicated to delivering advanced diagnostics and treatment across pediatrics and neonatal care, supported by state-of-the-art technology and upgraded infrastructure.

In my dual role, I lead the integration of clinical services with structured academic training programs, including fellowships and certificate courses, ensuring that our patients benefit from the latest evidence-based care.

On behalf of the hospital leadership, I pledge that every patient will be treated with dignity, every family will be supported with empathy, and every team member will be empowered to pursue excellence.

Dr. Suraj Mishra
(Managing Director)

Over the years, my journey in pediatric and neonatology healthcare has revealed a consistent challenge — while many hospitals excel in routine and emergency care, a crucial gap exists for children with complex, rare, or diagnostically challenging conditions.

These limitations often arise due to the lack of advanced technology, specialized equipment, and true multidisciplinary coordination. Each such experience strengthened my resolve to create a center where expertise, compassion, and innovation come together under one roof.

This vision gave birth to KIPS — a pediatric superspecialty hospital focused on children who require advanced, technology-driven care beyond what general pediatric hospitals can offer.

Our mission is to make world-class pediatric superspecialty care accessible right here in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, ensuring that no family ever has to compromise on their child’s health.
