How Dr. Shipra Thukral is driving healthcare excellence at CooperSurgical — expanding access to advanced fertility solutions and cultivating a more patient-centric ecosystem across India

As Country General Manager at CooperSurgical, she leads efforts to broaden access to advanced fertility solutions and enhance the quality of care across India. Her focus extends beyond immediate commercial objectives to building strategic partnerships, promoting knowledge exchange, and championing the adoption of innovative practices across the healthcare ecosystem.
What distinguishes her approach is the integration of clinical excellence with commercial acumen.

Her vision for India’s role in global reproductive healthcare is particularly compelling. Rather than viewing India merely as a market, she sees it as a potential hub for clinical innovation and excellence. This perspective shapes her strategy at CooperSurgical: investing in infrastructure, supporting clinician education, and working to standardize practices across the country.
“India represents a highly dynamic and promising landscape for reproductive healthcare. There is growing awareness around infertility, increasing adoption of assisted reproductive technologies, and continuous advancement in clinical capabilities. At the same time, there remains significant scope to expand access, enhance standardization, and build specialized expertise across the ecosystem.
“I see a strong opportunity for India to emerge as a global hub for fertility innovation and clinical excellence. By integrating advanced technologies with structured training initiatives and deeper collaboration between industry and clinicians, we can make fertility care more accessible, consistent, and patient-centric.”
