THE INDIA NEURO INTERVENTIONAL FOUNDATION (INIF)
Learning Begins With Us
The India Neuro Interventional Foundation (INIF) was founded in August 2005 by pioneers Dr. Uday Limaye, Sanjiv Gandhi, and Dr. Arani Bose, at a time when Neurointervention was still in its early stages in India. Their vision was clear: to create a platform that would advance neurointerventional science, educate future specialists, and bring cutting-edge treatment to patients suffering from life-threatening neurovascular diseases.
Our Statistics
AAFITN 2027
India is poised to host Asian Australasian Federation of Interventional & Therapeutic Neuro radiology 2027, given its rich legacy and remarkable growth in neurointervention over the past four decades. The roots of the specialty in India go back to the 1980s, when pioneering work at KEM, AIIMS, Sri Chitra and NIMHANS institutions introduced embolization, detachable balloons, and endovascular techniques to the country. From those formative years, India has steadily built world-class expertise, training programs, and strong academic societies such as ISNR, ISVIR, STNI, SNVI and the INIF Foundation. With over 45 years of evolution, India now represents one of the fastest-growing ecosystems for neurointervention in Asia—offering not only cutting-edge clinical practice but also a vibrant platform for education and research. Hosting AAFITN 2027 here would honor this journey, showcase India’s contributions to the global neurointervention community, and inspire the next generation of specialists across the region.
Flagship Initiatives
The Monsoon Meetings
Affectionately known as the “Complications Meet”, this one-of-a-kind academic gathering has become a cornerstone of INIF’s educational mission. In 2025, the Monsoon Meeting marked its 20th edition, a significant milestone that reflects its enduring relevance and impact. The meeting provides a candid and open forum where experts dissect real-world complications and challenges, fostering learning through shared experience.
