Before the scalpel there was a keyboard, an open mic and a notebook of spoken word. That's not a footnote — it's the whole reason he treats voices the way he does.
One of the region's oldest and most prestigious medical colleges — a highly sought-after institution known for its competitive admissions and a rich legacy in medical education.
College-band keyboardist and spoken-word poet. Years of performing taught him what a voice really is — not a body part, but the thing you put yourself into a room with.
Rigorously trained in ENT–Head & Neck Surgery at Jawaharlal Nehru Hospital & Research Centre, a major public-sector undertaking institution in Central India serving a regional population of over one million. Yet, throughout his training, one subspecialty kept pulling him back: the larynx. The voice box. The one organ that is also an identity.
A clinical externship in Neurolaryngology, Laryngology and Swallowing Disorders — mentored by Dr Andrew Blitzer, widely regarded as the Father of Neurolaryngology and a pioneer in the use of Botox for voice disorders, and Dr Brian Benson, Chair of Otolaryngology and an accomplished laryngologist and swallowing surgeon.
Learning directly from these leaders, he gained exposure to advanced diagnostic techniques and office-based procedures, including Videostroboscopy, Injection Laryngoplasty, Botox injections, in-office KTP Laser treatment, Laryngeal Biopsy, Cricopharyngeal Balloon dilation and much more — building a deeper understanding of the full spectrum of voice and swallowing disorders.
A specialised fellowship at Bombay Hospital under Dr Nupur Kapoor Nerurkar, one of India's pioneers in laryngology, where he mastered the delicate art of operating on cords without costing a career. His training encompassed Phonosurgery, CO₂ and Blue Laser Surgery, NBI, FEES, advanced diagnostics, office-based procedures and complex voice surgeries.
Representing India on the global stage of laryngology — and, on the side, becoming the voice doctor the internet actually listens to.
He brought it all home to the Voice & Swallowing Clinic — the region's first practice built entirely around Laryngology, Voice & Swallowing Disorders.
For a singer it's income. For an anchor it's authority. For a founder it's the room. Dr Bansal treats the voice as what it actually is to the person who owns it — which is why he measures, films and diagnoses before he ever prescribes.
He'll happily tell you when you don't need surgery. The goal was never to operate. The goal is to keep you sounding like you.
"Every doctor tells you to rest your voice. I want to know what your voice is for — and then keep it doing that."

Keyboardist since college. He hears voices the way a musician hears an instrument — pitch, break, fatigue, tone.
Open-mic poet. He knows the specific fear of standing up and not trusting the sound that comes out.
