    Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics Launches in Green Park

    Bringing Best Fertility Care Closer to Patients

    With nearly one in six couples today facing infertility and many continuing to struggle in silence due to stigma, delayed diagnosis, or lack of the right guidance, the need for fertility care that is not just advanced but also transparent and supportive has never been greater.

    Addressing this gap, Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics has launched in Green Park Extension, South Delhi, with a vision to redefine how fertility treatment combines cutting-edge technology with a deeply personalised, patient-first approach.

    With over 40+ years of combined clinical expertise, our team at Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics has collectively performed 15,000+ IVF and ICSI procedures and supported 50,000+ families on their journey to parenthood. We bring together globally trained fertility specialists, experienced clinicians, full-time ESHRE-certified embryologists, andrologists, and geneticists under one roof.

    What sets Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics apart is our ethical and individualised approach to treatment. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all method, our team of experts emphasises thorough evaluation, patient education, and step-by-step guidance, often exploring natural or less invasive options before recommending advanced procedures like IVF.

    Located in the heart of South Delhi, Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics is equipped with a state-of-the-art IVF laboratory built to international standards, along with advanced andrology facilities, modular operation theatres, private and deluxe recovery rooms, on-site pathology services, and an in-house pharmacy, ensuring a seamless and high-quality patient experience.

    One of the key highlights of Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics is its adoption of RI Witness® technology, an advanced RFID-based electronic witnessing system which very few clinics have. This system ensures continuous tracking of eggs, sperm, and embryos throughout the IVF process, significantly reducing the risk of sample mix-ups and enhancing patient confidence through transparency and safety.

    “At Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics, our vision is to make compassionate, high-quality healthcare accessible and affordable for everyone. We are committed to putting patients first and delivering care that is ethical, transparent, and patient-centred. We strive to provide the best possible outcomes while supporting every patient with empathy and trust.” Mr. Athar Anjum, Founder & Managing Director of Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics, a name well recognised in Delhi’s healthcare circle

    We offer a comprehensive range of services including IVF, ICSI, IUI, fertility preservation, genetic testing (PGT), donor programmes, etc., ensuring that patients have access to complete fertility solutions under one roof.

    “We often see patients come in after months or even years of trying, feeling confused and overwhelmed. At Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics, our focus is to first bring clarity to their situation, because the right understanding often changes the entire course of treatment.” Dr. Pooja Bajaj Wadhwa, Medical Director, Senior Consultant IVF & Infertility, Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics

    “Fertility care has advanced significantly over the years. Today, with better imaging, improved lab techniques, and more precise diagnostics, we are able to manage cases that were once considered very challenging, with far greater confidence.” Dr. Deeksha Tyagi, Clinical Director, Senior IVF & Infertility Imaging Expert, Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics

    As fertility challenges continue to rise and patients seek more transparent and trustworthy care, Zemya IVF & Fertility Clinics sets a new benchmark in reproductive medicine, not just through outcomes, but through the experience it offers.

  • Javed Akhtar, Anupam Kher, Farah Khan Rally Behind Boman Irani’s Spiral Bound

    Javed Akhtar, Anupam Kher, Farah Khan Rally Behind Boman Irani’s Spiral Bound

    What began as a passion-led initiative during the uncertainty of the pandemic has today evolved into a powerful creative movement. Founded by Boman Irani, Spiral Bound was created as a space for aspiring storytellers—individuals who had stories to tell but lacked the direction to shape them.

    Over the last six years, the initiative has grown significantly, building a community of over 2,000 members and conducting 865 sessions across online and in-person formats. What sets Spiral Bound apart is not just its scale, but the overwhelming support it continues to receive from some of the most respected names in Indian cinema—voices that recognise both its intent and its impact.

    Javed Akhtar beautifully summed this up, saying, “There are people in the film industry who are very successful. There are people who are very rich and famous. But he(Boman Irani) is both, and he has one more quality: credibility, which is very rare.”

    Echoing a similar sentiment, Neil Nitin Mukesh shared how working with Boman Irani is something many actors aspire to. “There are some actors in the industry with whom, if you haven’t shared a screen with, your acting career feels incomplete. Boman sir is one of them. I feel lucky to have worked with him. Today, I’m here as a student—I think Boman sir for giving us this opportunity.”

    For Anupam Kher, Spiral Bound represents something much larger. Speaking about the initiative, he said, “Boman ji ne film writing ke field mein ek bahut aham yogdaan diya hai. Covid ke dauraan shuru hua yeh ‘Spiral Bound’ aaj ek movement ban chuka hai. Acting aur direction ke schools hain, lekin script writing ke liye jo unhone khud se shuru kiya hai, woh kaabile tareef hai.”

    He further added, “What we are seeing today is somebody’s honest effort and genuine desire to help others. The kind of respect he holds in the industry is very rare. My salute to Boman Irani.”

    Filmmaker Farah Khan also appreciated the thought behind the initiative, saying, “It’s wonderful that Boman Irani, who isn’t a scriptwriter by profession, has started something like this. It creates a way for so many people who want to write.”

    In an industry often driven by individual milestones, Spiral Bound stands as an effort—one that continues to be championed and celebrated by stalwarts of Indian cinema.
