About Dr. Mohan V. Pulle

Background

Dr. Mohan Venkatesh Pulle’s story is one of remarkable achievements rooted in humble beginnings. He hails from a small village in Andhra Pradesh, where his parents, both dedicated government school teachers, instilled in him the invaluable principles of education, social responsibility, and the virtue of giving back to the community.

Dr. Pulle is the youngest of two siblings, and his early life in the village laid a strong foundation for his multifaceted personality. Apart from his academic pursuits, Dr. Pulle has always been enthusiastic about extracurricular activities. He is a celebrated table tennis and carrom player, having earned the title of medical college champion in both disciplines. His artistic side is equally notable; as a trained Tabla player, he has a profound love for Indian Carnatic music, especially its fusion variants.

This blend of intellectual rigor and cultural richness is balanced harmoniously in his personal life, where he finds joy and support in his wife, Dr. Himani Chhabra, an accomplished Anaesthetist, and their two sons.
