With 40+ years of service and 25,000+ babies delivered, she reflects on the joy of giving couples parenthood and motherhood. She speaks candidly about marriage, generational gaps, modern relationships, and women’s health across every life stage — fertility, PCOS, postpartum care, and menopause. She also opens up about how her parents’ values, especially her father Gemini Ganesan, shaped her definition of success. A masterclass on longevity, resilience, and living life fully — beyond age.
