Dr. Chandril Chugh
Founder & Director

Dr. Chandril Chugh

MBBS (Gold Medalist), MD, DM (Neurology), FINR (USA)

With dual American Board certifications in Neurology and Neurocritical Care, Dr. Chandril Chugh is a U.S.-trained interventional neurologist treating complex vascular conditions across continents.

But his real mission is bigger than the ICU because he believes real impact happens outside hospital walls. He founded Dr. Good Deed to bring holistic brain health education to millions via YouTube, making neurology understandable for everyday people. He also founded Sankat Mochan Trust to create healthcare solutions where systems have failed.

Dr. Chugh lives with a philosophy to combine entrepreneurial vision with human connection. Scale solutions, but never forget why you started: because people deserve better, and someone has to build it. He continues to lead with heart because he knows that behind every statistic, there is someone's father, mother, or child.
