Mohak has always come up with newer endeavours in the field of Bariatrics, whether it is setting a world record by performing 53 bariatric surgeries within 13 hours, introducing the world of bariatrics to Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) or having the first doctor as Dr. Bhandari to perform a single anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass. This is one such feather added to the hat.
