Dr. Sudesh Banaji's formative years in science and mathematics at Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala in Mysore, India, paved the way for his medical career. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from JJM Medical College, University of Mysore, and gained practical experience through a diverse internship at Chigateri General Hospital in Davangere.
