Dr. Anant Kumar is Chairman of Urology, Renal Transplant and Robotics at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket in New Delhi, where he leads one of India's premier urological centres. With over 40 years of clinical experience, he holds an MCh in Urology from PGIMER Chandigarh and is recognised as one of India's most accomplished urologists and kidney transplant specialists. His credentials span academic medicine and advanced surgical innovation, positioning him among the country's leading practitioners in his field.

Dr. Kumar's clinical depth is extraordinary. He has performed over 3,500 kidney transplants in the past 30 years and more than 2,200 laparoscopic donor nephrectomies, making him one of the most experienced transplant surgeons in South Asia. In robotic-assisted surgery, he has completed over 500 procedures in the past five years alone, with particular mastery in robotic radical prostatectomy, cystectomy, and partial nephrectomy. He pioneered the use of Lumenis HOLEP technology for laser prostate treatment in his centre and brings extensive expertise in reconstructive urology of the kidney, bladder and urethra—having completed more than 700 reconstructive cases. His endourological experience spans percutaneous nephrolithotomy, ureteroscopy, and optical urethrotomy across several hundred procedures.
