A two-day conference in Gurugram, the SSI Multi-Speciality Robotic Surgery Conference (SMRSC) 2025, hosted by SS Innovations, brought together over 1,200 world-renowned medical professionals to explore the transformative potential of robotic surgery. The event marked the unveiling of SSI Mantra M, a Tele-Sync Mobile Unit, a first-of-its-kind innovation set to revolutionize robotic surgery and telemedicine in India.
As described by SS Innovations, the SSI Mantra Surgical Robotic System represents the company’s commitment to advancing medical technology, redefining healthcare infrastructure, and expanding access to cutting-edge surgical care.
The SSI Mantra M is equipped with state-of-the-art telesurgery capabilities, designed to deliver robotic-assisted procedures to remote and underserved regions. The Tele-Sync Mobile Unit integrates a surgical robotic system, high-speed connectivity, and advanced surgical robotics to enable real-time collaboration between remote and on-site surgical teams. This minimizes latency and allows expert surgeons to perform and guide procedures from a distance, significantly improving healthcare accessibility.
SSI Mantra M: Breaking Geographical Barriers in Surgery
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, Founder & Chairman of SS Innovations, emphasized the transformative potential of SSI Mantra M, stating:
“SSI Mantra M is more than a mobile telesurgical unit—it’s a movement to democratize and decentralize world-class healthcare. With high-speed telecommunication and satellite connectivity, it breaks geographical barriers, delivering life-saving robotic-assisted surgery to underserved communities. Beyond tele-surgical procedures, SSI Mantra M serves as a powerful platform for surgical education, tele-mentoring, and real-time patient data analytics.”
Global Experts Hail SSI Mantra M as a Game-Changer
The conference saw participation from renowned global experts, including Dr. Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist and futurist; Sonam Wangchuk, an engineer and innovator; and Dr. Fredric Moll, widely recognized as the Father of Surgical Robotics and Vice-Chairman of SS Innovations International Inc.
Dr. Michio Kaku, in his keynote address, hailed the innovation as a historic milestone in robotic surgery, stating: “When historians look back, they will recognize that this moment set into motion a movement that will reverberate across the world. But this is only the beginning. We are witnessing the dawn of the next phase—one that will integrate quantum mechanics into surgery. This will not just be robotic surgery; it will be quantum mechanical robotic surgery, an evolution that will once again revolutionize medicine. Years from now, history will mark SSI as the epicenter of this transformation.”
Dr. Fredric Moll, a pioneer in surgical robotics, added: “I am truly amazed by the progress made in developing SSI Mantra, which is impressive both in its clinical capabilities and the remarkably short time in which it has been achieved. As robotics continue to evolve and become more intelligent, we are entering a new era of capabilities that will serve both patients and humanity in profound ways.”
Sonam Wangchuk, an acclaimed engineer and education reformist, highlighted the importance of innovation in sustainability, stating: “Just as a doctor heals the sick, an environmental engineer heals the planet, diagnosing its ills and restoring its balance. By harnessing innovation, sustainable technology, and community-driven solutions, we can democratize environmental care, making sustainability accessible to all. A healthier planet isn’t just a vision; it’s a necessity for a just and thriving future.”
