Hair restoration surgery was a relatively new concept in India around a decade back, being practiced by a few surgeons only. As the awareness regarding the procedure increased among the doctors and the general public alike, a growing need emerged for a common platform where all the issues regarding hair transplantation could be discussed. At that point of time, in 2008, the founder members of AHRS India (Dr. Sanjiv Vasa, Dr. Rajendra Singh Rajput, Dr.Tejinder Bhatti, Dr. Sandeep Sattur, Dr. Kapil Dua, Dr. Ashok Vardhan Reddy, Dr. Venkataram Mysore, Dr. Lakshyajit D. Dhami, Dr. Aman Dua, Dr. Ravi Kumar Joshi, Dr. Puli Ravindra Reddy, Dr. K. Ramachandran and Dr. Pardeep Bhargava )recognized this need and formed a platform which got an international recognition also by the name of Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons of India.
