Dr Arvinder Singh: India's Changemaker Who Turned Adversity into Impact

Udaipur, Jan 7, 2026 - For Dr Arvinder Singh, life began with a challenge that could easily have set his limits — but instead became his strength and defined his life’s purpose. Struck by polio in childhood and left with 80% physical disability, Dr Singh grew up in a world that will quickly leave you behind if you do not keep up with it. And so, from a very young age, he understood the challenges before him and chose belief over limitation, courage over circumstance.

Today, that unwavering spirit has earned Dr Singh a prestigious recognition. CEO of Arth Group and world record holder, Dr Singh has been included in India Today’s prestigious list of the country’s Top 100 Changemakers. This is an honour that celebrates individuals who have transformed lives and systems through their work.

Reflecting on this milestone, Dr Singh says, “This honour is not just my personal achievement but a victory of the belief that physical disability cannot hinder progress. I will continue to strive to bring positive change in healthcare, education, and society.”

Behind this achievement lies a journey marked by perseverance, discipline and relentless self-belief. Refusing to be limited by his disability, Dr Singh kept his eyes focussed ahead and on his hunger for knowlege. Hard work and determination kept opening up the path for him. And he went on to become not only a successful doctor but also an entrepreneur, educator and philanthropist. His passion for learning is reflected in his extraordinary accomplishment of earning more than 168 degrees and certifications, setting world records and redefining excellence in healthcare and skill development.

His impact stretches far beyond borders. Through online platforms, Dr Singh has trained nearly 25,000 professionals across 100 countries, carrying India’s name to the global stage. What makes his story even more powerful is that he has achieved remarkable milestones in adventure sports – conquering challenges such as biking across the formidable Khardung La – while, at the same time, making his mark felt in medicine and social leadership.

Dr Singh’s life stands as a living reminder that adversity does not weaken those who refuse to surrender to it. His work has earned him honours at institutions such as the British Parliament and Oxford University, but perhaps his most meaningful contribution is his commitment to empowering others. Recently, he established an institution dedicated to advocating for the legal rights of persons with disabilities — transforming his own struggle into strength for others.

Dr Arvinder Singh’s story is one of hope and self-belief. It is the tale of the power of determination which says that no obstacle can silence a dream which is fuelled by purpose.
