Munjaal V. Kapadia is an Obstetrician, Gynecologist and Infertility Specialist based in Mumbai, and the founder of Namaha Healthcare. He is a student of photography and a lifelong admirer of art, drawn particularly to street and documentary photography.
Still a hobbyist rather than a professional photographer, Munjaal sees photography as a way to slow down, observe and learn how to look. His work is influenced by photographers who find beauty, humour, chance and human stories in everyday life.
