Ethics & Approach
“I tell my patients what I'd tell my own sister. If IVF isn't the right path, I say so. If a second opinion is what you need, I welcome it. Honesty is the foundation of trust — and trust is the foundation of every successful fertility journey.”
— Dr. Parul Katiyar

Why patients choose Dr. Parul Katiyar
Choosing a fertility doctor is one of the most personal decisions a couple ever makes. Dr. Parul Katiyar has been the doctor more than 5,000 families chose — and what brings them through her doors is rarely the marketing. It's the recommendation from another patient, the second-opinion case her colleagues couldn't crack, the family member who finally became a parent after years elsewhere. Her practice is intentionally personal: she runs her own clinic, sees every patient herself, and refuses to scale into the high-volume, conveyor-belt model that has come to define corporate IVF chains in India. The result is fewer patients per day, longer consultations, deeper diagnostics, and protocols that reflect your biology — not a template.
Academic foundation: Valencia, Yale, Androfert, Mumbai
Dr. Parul Katiyar holds an MD in Obstetrics & Gynaecology from JN Medical College, Aligarh and an MSc in Reproductive Medicine from the University of Valencia, Spain — one of Europe's most respected fertility research programmes. She trained at Bloom IVF Mumbai under Dr. Hrishikesh Pai, completed a clinical fellowship at Yale Medical School (USA), and pursued advanced andrology training at Androfert in Brazil — the world-leading male-fertility centre founded by Dr. Sandro Esteves. She has published peer-reviewed research in journals including the BMJ and presents regularly at national and international reproductive medicine conferences. This depth of academic training is unusual in Indian fertility practice, and it directly informs the protocols her patients receive.
Clinical specialisms
Across 20+ years and 5,000+ treatment cycles, four clinical themes dominate Dr. Katiyar's practice. First, PCOS-related infertility — an area she has lectured on internationally, with a particular focus on insulin-sensitisation strategies and minimal-stimulation IVF for PCOS patients. Second, endometriosis and adenomyosis — silent but devastating drivers of infertility, where she combines laparoscopic expertise with carefully timed ART. Third, recurrent IVF failure — couples who arrive at Blessings after 2–6 failed cycles elsewhere, where her systematic re-investigation protocol identifies treatable factors others missed. Fourth, male infertility — including severe oligozoospermia, azoospermia (with surgical sperm retrieval), and sperm DNA fragmentation — drawing on her Androfert training.
Ethics & evidence-based practice
Dr. Parul Katiyar's defining clinical philosophy is honesty. She will tell a couple when IVF is unlikely to succeed with their own gametes. She will recommend stopping treatment when the data points that way. She will not test, biopsy or add procedures that the evidence does not support. In a market where over-treatment is common — empirical immune therapy, unnecessary PGT, repeat-same-protocol cycles — this honesty has built a reputation that draws patients from 30+ countries. She is a strict observer of India's ART Act 2021 and PC&PNDT Act, declines all sex-selection requests regardless of patient pressure, and works only with ART-bank-registered donors.
International reputation & patient mix
Approximately 35% of Dr. Katiyar's patient base now arrives from outside India — primarily from Fiji, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nepal, the UAE, and increasingly East Africa and the Middle East. India's status as a global fertility-care destination has accelerated since 2020, driven by world-class clinical outcomes at one-fifth of Western prices. Blessings Fertility welcomes international patients with a dedicated concierge: pre-travel virtual consultation, medical-visa invitation letters, accommodation hand-picked near the clinic, multilingual support (English, Hindi, Bengali, Fijian Hindi, Amharic), and post-treatment telehealth follow-up after patients return home. Dr. Katiyar personally manages every international case — there is no junior delegation.
What a consultation feels like
A first consultation at Blessings runs 45–60 minutes — significantly longer than the 10–15 minutes typical at corporate chains. Dr. Katiyar takes a full history (including emotional history of the journey so far), reviews all previous reports in detail, performs an in-clinic transvaginal ultrasound where indicated, and ends with a clear, written summary of the recommended diagnostic workup and likely treatment pathway. There is no pressure to commit, no upselling of add-ons, and no quoting of inflated success rates. Most patients leave the first consultation having understood — often for the first time — what is actually going on with their fertility and what evidence-based steps make sense next.
Awards, publications & speaking
Dr. Parul Katiyar has been a invited speaker at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) regional meetings, the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) annual congresses, and Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction (ISAR) symposia. Her published research focuses on insulin-sensitisation in PCOS-IVF, embryo-transfer optimisation in recurrent failure, and outcomes in oncofertility patients. She is a member of FOGSI, ISAR, ESHRE and the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), and serves on clinical advisory boards for two India-based reproductive medicine organisations.
Outside the clinic
When she is not seeing patients, Dr. Katiyar mentors junior fertility clinicians, contributes pro-bono consultations to low-income patients through a partner NGO, and writes regularly for patient-education platforms. She believes that fertility literacy — making accurate, evidence-based information freely available — is the single most powerful intervention for couples in India. Much of the educational content on the Blessings website is authored or reviewed personally by her.
