Some people live life as a routine. Others, like Dr. Kunjam Pooja, turn every day into a canvas—painting it with healing, art, words, and compassion. She is not only a doctor, but also a writer, artist, wellness advocate, and environmentalist whose journey proves that when passion meets discipline, greatness is inevitable.
Medicine with a Mission
For over eight years, Dr. Pooja has served as a Civil Assistant Surgeon in Telangana’s Nutrition Department, where she blends science with empathy to uplift communities. In 2023, her tireless efforts led her to Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi, where she proudly represented Telangana’s Best Performing Nutritional Department at a national level. It was more than an award—it was a milestone in her mission to build healthier children, stronger mothers, and empowered communities.
An Author Who Writes to Heal
When she isn’t treating patients, Dr. Pooja uses her pen as a tool for transformation. Her debut book, Art of Communication: 10 Keys to Change Your Life, launched at the New Delhi World Book Fair 2025, earned a place in The Literature Times’ “Top 10 Must-Read Books of the Year.” She followed it with Raising Kids, Raising Awareness, a guide to mindful parenting rooted in emotional intelligence.
More works are on the horizon, including her manifestation guide and her biography. Her writings have traveled across book fairs in Goa, Kolkata, Srinagar, and even reached international audiences during the UK Book Tour – Word on the Water. Along the way, she has earned honors like the National Book Star Award, Eco-Scribe Crown, and a spot among the Top 20 Authors of India.
Wellness Beyond Medicine
A firm believer that health is a balance of body and mind, Dr. Pooja has set records that speak to her discipline and dedication. She holds 12 Guinness World Records in Yoga (IYD 2025), along with recognitions from the International Book of Records and the Forever Star Book of World Records. Her holistic philosophy won her the “Doctor of the Year 2025” and “Best Debut Author” at the Nari Ratna Iconic Awards.
The Artist and Performer
Creativity flows through her as naturally as compassion. A Kuchipudi dancer, painter, and photographer, she has earned the Top 30 rank in the M.F. Husain International Award and been named India’s Top Emerging Artist on World Art Day 2025. She also won the International Brooklyn Excellence Award in Art & Photography.
Her work has been displayed at national and international art events, and she has walked the ramp as a Registered Model at Grand Iconic The Queen’s India 2025.
Healing the Planet
As Goodwill Ambassador for the Prithvi – Women Climate Warrior Initiative, Dr. Pooja extends her healing touch to the environment. She has organized tree plantation drives, distributed over 200 eco-friendly jute bags, and raised awareness through marathons and campaigns. Her efforts have been featured in Ink & Insight Magazine and during World Environment Day events.
A Global Voice, Rooted in Service
From performing at Kala Sangam to representing India at the International Vietnam Summit 2025, her presence has graced both cultural stages and global conferences. Yet, her heart remains committed to serving local communities. Her future vision includes establishing a multi-disciplinary hospital and earning certifications in life coaching to integrate mental transformation with medical care.
Daily Habits, Extraordinary Impact
Behind the awards and accolades is a woman who begins her day with meditation, gratitude journaling, and affirmations. These small, steady rituals fuel her large, transformative work.
