The Roots of Compassion
Born and raised in Ambala City, Haryana, Dr. Ridhi Gupta grew up in an environment where humanity came before everything else. Her mother, Ms. Punam Gupta, a noted social worker and entrepreneur, and her late father, Mr. Aasheesh Gupta, a successful businessman, instilled in her the values of empathy, hard work, and responsibility toward society.
Even as a child, Ridhi had a rare sensitivity toward others’ pain — whether it was helping a classmate in distress or caring for stray animals on the street. Those around her always knew she was destined to serve people — not through words, but through healing hands.
Journey of Global Learning
Pursuing her MBBS in China, Dr. Ridhi chose a path that required immense courage and adaptability. Living away from home, immersed in a new culture and language, she learned not just medicine but the art of resilience.
Her years abroad exposed her to a global healthcare system — advanced technology, cross-cultural collaboration, and the power of empathy in patient care. The experience broadened her understanding of what it truly means to be a healer in a diverse world.
“Medicine taught me anatomy and science — but life abroad taught me empathy, strength, and understanding,” she reflects.
Service with Soul – Practicing in Himachal Pradesh
Upon her return to India, Dr. Ridhi began serving as a Provisional Doctor in Himachal Pradesh, blending her academic expertise with deep compassion for patients. Her gentle approach and attentive care quickly earned her respect among both peers and patients.
She often emphasizes that medicine is not just about curing illness but about healing hearts. Her consultations are known for empathy as much as for accuracy — where every patient feels heard, seen, and cared for.
Her colleagues often describe her as “a doctor with the mind of a scientist and the heart of a mother.”
