In a country where hearing loss often goes unnoticed until it’s too late, Dr. Manoj Kumar Gupta has dedicated his life to changing the narrative. A visionary ENT surgeon, author, educator, and founder of Eastern Uttar Pradesh’s first ENT-focused hospital, his journey from a stable government job to a mission-driven life is not just remarkable—it’s transformative.
A Personal and Professional Transformation
Dr. Gupta’s transformation began when he joined Doctorpreneur Academy, which completely reshaped his mindset. What started as a simple enrollment soon evolved into a life-altering shift in how he viewed challenges, opportunities, and solutions. Today, he doesn’t just treat patients—he leads movements, builds systems, and teaches other doctors to think like visionaries.
A Vision for a Hearing Loss-Free India by 2047
Driven by purpose, Dr. Gupta aims to make India free from preventable hearing loss by 2047. Through years of service at various medical institutions and now as the head of Success Hospital, he has performed countless surgeries and led awareness campaigns addressing the “silent epidemic” of hearing loss. His activism is a powerful blend of medical expertise, public outreach, and policy advocacy.
The Leap from Government Job to ENT Surgeon
After completing his MS in ENT in 2004, Dr. Gupta stepped away from the comfort of a government job to pursue his passion. Like many new specialists, he struggled with self-doubt about surgical skills and patient turnout. However, the decision to trust his calling over job security marked the beginning of his extraordinary career.
Experience at AIIMS and Work with WHO Projects
Dr. Gupta further refined his skills during his senior residency at AIIMS, one of India’s premier medical institutes. His participation in WHO projects on deafness gave him valuable insights into community health, research, and global collaboration, helping him shape solutions on a national scale.
Founding Sakriti Hospital: A Leap of Faith
In 2012, he established Sakriti Hospital in Varanasi. Starting with modest resources, he turned his home into a clinic, renovated the reception area, and even invested in a generator due to frequent power outages. His belief: impact requires action, not just aspiration.
Breaking Free from Comfort Zones: The Dubai Decision
Both Dr. Gupta and his wife left secure jobs in Dubai to pursue their purpose in India. They realized that a high paycheck couldn’t replace the satisfaction of serving their people. Their decision to work in Varanasi laid the foundation for impactful, patient-centered care in their community.
Mastering the Power of Financial Leverage
Initially wary of loans, Dr. Gupta shifted his mindset, understanding that strategic borrowing is a tool for growth. From purchasing equipment to funding his children’s education, he learned to leverage EMIs, SIPs, and capital investments to scale both personally and professionally.
Ethical Healthcare and Patient-Centric Practices
Dr. Gupta stresses that competition doesn’t matter when you operate ethically. His approach to patient care is built on trust, open communication, and transparency. He ensures that patients understand their options, and emphasizes direct interaction without middlemen or manipulation.
The Power of Personal Branding in Medicine
Rather than traditional marketing, Dr. Gupta invests in personal branding. He shares educational content on YouTube and Instagram, offering clarity about hearing loss and treatments. His content has organically built trust, enabling patients to find him based on value, not advertisements.
Enhancing the Patient Experience
From air-conditioned waiting rooms to well-trained receptionists, Dr. Gupta ensures that patients feel cared for from the moment they arrive. By mapping out every patient interaction and collecting feedback, he continually improves the hospital’s service quality and reputation.
Handling Reviews with Innovation
To manage online presence, he created the Positive QR System, a tool that allows patients to share reviews easily while minimizing negativity. He even launched an AI-driven platform to help patients write meaningful Google reviews.
Authoring a National Call to Action
Dr. Gupta’s book, Silent Epidemic and Wielding the Burden of Noise in India, addresses the nationwide crisis of hearing loss. With forwards written by Nasiruddin Shah and Amitabh Bachchan, the book bridges the gap between awareness and action, providing practical knowledge for all.
Delegation, Time Management, and Mission Alignment
As his mission grew, so did the need for structure. Dr. Gupta now works with dedicated teams to manage documentation, campaigns, and outreach. By delegating and practicing efficient time management, he balances surgeries with social initiatives and educational workshops.
The First ENT Hospital in Eastern UP and Beyond
His center was the first in Eastern UP to implement cooperative surgery, receiving NABH accreditation and WHO grants. Dr. Gupta is now working on a joint venture to establish ENT wings in multi-specialty hospitals across India, solving the critical shortage of ENT specialists.
Workshops, Webinars, and Community Campaigns
Dr. Gupta organizes free Sunday workshops, distributes educational books, and conducts awareness drives across India. These initiatives aim to educate the public, reduce stigma, and promote early treatment.
