                                                dental practice would leave little time for other pursuits. But the professionals

                                                 passionate project along with a very busy and successful professional life.

           DR. VANISHREE PATHAK is an alumnus of the prestigious
           College of Dental Surgery, Manipal. After attaining her
           BDS Degree from there, she pursued her DDS Degree from
           the IVY League College of Dentistry, New York University,
           USA in 2004. She has an experience of practicing dentistry
           both in India and the U.S. Currently she runs her own
           high-end dental practice in Gurugram, Haryana, thus
           fulfilling her passion of providing smiles to her patients.
              In 2011, out of sheer curiosity, she participated in an All
           Women’s Car Rally organized by i.Sports Motor Sports Club
           on the Delhi Jaipur circuit. Winning a podium finish in her
           very first rally, got her so motivated that there was no looking
           back! With a passion for competitive driving, she has since then
           participated in more than 35 car rallies across different terrains,
           in different states of India. She has won podium positions
           in 95% of the rallies she participated in, and 2nd position in
           the TSD National Championship Rally held in Bengaluru in
           December 2024.
              Now under the pro-category, she is one of 9-10 women rally
           drivers in India.
              Her passion for driving and adventure has led her to be
           an  avid  off-roader.  Her  Sunday  mornings  are  spent  driving
           through wild and exciting terrains and doing crazy stuff with
           the Thar – her first love. She is also an official off-roading senior
           instructor with Toyota Hilux.
              Dental Practice congratulates Dr. Vanishree on her incredible
           achievements and wishes her many more victories and exciting
           journeys ahead!  n
