Dear Delegates and Esteemed Colleagues,

Namaskar and welcome to AMASICON 2026, Kolkata!

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to AMASICON 2026, Kolkata the 21st International Conference of the Association of Minimal Access Surgeons of India. As Founder President of AMASI, I take great pride in witnessing the phenomenal growth of this association over the years.

This year, as we gather in the culturally rich city of Kolkata, at the world-class Biswa Bangla Exhibition & Convention Centre, we not only celebrate our shared passion for Minimal Access Surgery but also reaffirm our commitment to excellence, innovation, and learning.

AMASICON has always stood for scientific rigor, collaborative spirit, and continuous surgical education. I urge each one of you to engage fully, exchange ideas, challenge conventions, and take back valuable insights that can transform your practice.

Looking forward to meeting you all in Kolkata!
