Early Journey and Education
All successful doctors' stories begin with dedication, and Dr. Kundu's story is no different. Dr. Kundu obtained his MBBS from West Bengal University of Health Sciences in 2009, creating a strong foundation in medicine and then wanting to pursue a deeper level of knowledge, he continued to pursue MD in General Medicine from West Bengal University of Health Science in 2013.

Clinical Experience
Dr. Supratip Kundu has worked in some of the best medical centers in Kolkata throughout his career. He is currently practicing at:
- Techno India Dama Healthcare & Medical Center, Beliaghata
- Manipal Hospitals (Formerly AMRI Hospitals), Dhakuria
- Desun Hospital, Kasba
Over the years, he has gained patient trust not just for his medical knowledge, but also for the way he communicates with them. One patient shared, “Dr. Kundu does not just diagnose—I understand with his explanation. He explains in such a way that when you leave his consultation, you are totally clear and confident.”
Specialization
Dr. Kundu specializes in Interventional Cardiology, the aspect of cardiology that specializes in catheter-based therapies to treat heart diseases. He concentrates on the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery diseases through minimally invasive procedures that allow for a much quicker recovery time for the patient.
His primary specialties include:
- Peripheral Vascular Interventions
- Managing Coronary Artery Disease
- Managing Pacemakers and ICDs
- Image Guided Complex Coronary Angioplasty
- Peripheral Interventions
Approach to Cardiac Care
What distinguishes Dr. Kundu is his balanced approach. He does not see cardiology as merely procedural work; he sees it as patient care. His consultations generally emphasize preventive care, working to help the patient incorporate changes in their lifestyle to reduce cardiac risk.
During one of his talks he was presenting at a local health awareness camp, he stated "Heart health starts long before the disease presents itself. The earlier you identify, or detect, heart disease and establish small, daily habits, the less invasive medical interventions that will be required down the road."
