Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear stethoscopes, hold paintbrushes, write books, perform on stage, and still find time to plant trees.
Dr. Kunjam Pooja is one such rare soul—an accomplished doctor, bestselling author, world record-holding yogi, award-winning artist, and passionate environmentalist whose life proves that brilliance knows no boundaries.
Medicine with Meaning
For over eight years, Dr. Pooja has been serving as a Civil Assistant Surgeon in Telangana’s Nutrition Department. Her work is grounded in empathy, innovation, and community empowerment. In 2023, she proudly stood at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, representing Telangana’s Best Performing Nutritional Department—a moment that celebrated her role in shaping healthier communities, nurturing children, and empowering mothers.
The Power of the Written Word
Her influence stretches far beyond medicine. With over eight years in the literary world, she debuted with Art of Communication: 10 Keys to Change Your Life, launched at the New Delhi World Book Fair 2025, earning a place in The Literature Times’ “Top 10 Must-Read Books of the Year.”
Her second book, Raising Kids, Raising Awareness, became a mindful parenting guide for the modern age. Two more titles—a manifestation guide and her biography—are on the way. Her literary journey has taken her to book fairs in Goa, Kolkata, Srinagar’s Chinar Book Festival, and even the UK Book Tour – Word on the Water. Awards like the National Book Star Award, Eco-Scribe Crown, and Top 20 Authors of India reflect her impact as a changemaker in literature.
Champion of Wellness
Health, to Dr. Pooja, is a union of mind and body. She is a 12-time Guinness World Record holder in Yoga (IYD 2025) and has been honored by the International Book of Records and the Forever Star Book of World Records. Her dedication earned her the Doctor of the Year 2025 title and Best Debut Author at the Nari Ratna Iconic Awards.
The Artist’s Journey
Whether it’s through the classical elegance of Kuchipudi, the vibrance of painting, or the precision of photography, Dr. Pooja turns creativity into impact. She has been ranked in the Top 30 for the M.F. Husain International Award, named India’s Top Emerging Artist on World Art Day 2025, and honored with the International Brooklyn Excellence Award in Art & Photography.
Her works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, and she has walked the ramp as a Registered Model – Grand Iconic The Queen’s India 2025.
The Planet as Her Patient
As Goodwill Ambassador for Prithvi – Women Climate Warrior Initiative, Dr. Pooja leads by example. She has planted saplings, distributed over 200 eco-friendly jute bags, and run awareness campaigns on sustainability. Her advocacy has been featured in Ink & Insight Magazine and during major environmental events.
Global Recognition, Local Commitment
From performing at Kala Sangam to representing India at the International Vietnam Summit 2025, Dr. Pooja’s influence reaches across continents. Yet, her heart remains close to her community, with future plans to open a multi-disciplinary hospital and earn life coaching certifications to combine healthcare with mindset transformation.
Her Life in Practice
Her extraordinary achievements are powered by simple daily rituals—meditation, gratitude journaling, and affirmations—that keep her grounded while she soars.
