Dr. Sanjeev Kumar

How do you become a leader in a field that keeps changing under your feet

Sanjeev discusses what it takes to build real authority in a field like robotic cancer surgery, where the technology evolves, the science moves, and the standard for expertise keeps rising. His story across India, the UK, and the US shows the making of a surgeon who chose one of the most demanding paths in medicine and then established himself at the front of a growing specialty. This opens up a conversation about ambition, mastery, and leadership in modern medicine that feels substantial, current, and earned.

What a leader in robotic surgery knows about the future of AI in medicine

Sanjeev discusses what AI is genuinely beginning to change in surgery, where the technology is being misunderstood, and why the hardest decisions in medicine still resist simple automation. As a leading robotic pelvic surgeon working in cancer care, he can explain why AI attracts so much hype, what robotic medicine already makes possible, and where human judgment remains the difference between pattern recognition and real surgical expertise. This creates a high-level conversation about the future of medicine that feels informed, current, and far more credible than the usual AI predictions.

The longevity conversation gets a lot weaker when it ignores obesity and cancer

Sanjeev discusses why so much of the public conversation about living longer stays focused on optimization while overlooking the diseases that actually shorten life and reduce quality of life. He can connect obesity, cancer risk, women’s cancers, and prevention into a more serious conversation about what helps people not just add years, but avoid the conditions that make those years harder. This gives the audience a more grounded take on longevity by bringing prevention, disease burden, and real clinical consequence into a space that is often dominated by trend-driven wellness talk.
