Fertility Clinic & IVF Center

What Fertility Clinic & IVF Center does

Fertility Clinic & IVF Center is a Mumbai-based, founder-owned assisted reproductive technology (ART) center founded in 1984 by Dr. Sadhana K. Desai and the late Dr. Mehroo Hansotia. It operates two connected facilities on Vachha Gandhi Road in Gamdevi — a consulting room and a dedicated ART laboratory established in 1985 — and is recognized as having delivered India's first private-sector IVF birth in November 1986 (the country's second test tube baby overall). The clinic serves individual infertile couples in Mumbai and surrounding regions through direct-to-consumer channels (gynecologist referrals, word-of-mouth, and its website), with no enterprise or institutional customers and no external investors.

The clinic delivers a full spectrum of fertility services built on established clinical laboratory techniques rather than digital platforms: intrauterine insemination (IUI), IVF with embryo transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), IMSI at 6000x magnification, blastocyst culture, preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), laser-assisted embryo hatching, vitrification-based cryopreservation of oocytes/embryos/sperm, oocyte and embryo banking, egg and embryo donation, surrogacy, surgical sperm retrieval (PESA/TESA), and selective multi-fetal reduction. It holds ISAR accreditation and is enrolled under the ICMR National Registry of ART Clinics & Banks (registration 10529). The clinical team comprises ~22 staff across clinical, embryology, counseling, nursing, and administrative roles, with the core embryology team (Dr. Vijay Mangoli, Dr. Ranjana Mangoli, Ms. Kavita Suri) and lead counselor (Dr. Rajani Patel) having multi-decade tenures dating to the 1980s-90s.

Revenue is generated per treatment cycle through consultation fees, procedure charges, and laboratory services on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Financial assistance for eligible couples is provided through the Dr. Sadhana Desai Charitable Trust. The clinic reports a clinical pregnancy rate of 42-46% per patient per year over the past 5 years without patient selection criteria, positioning on outcome quality rather than scale. Diagnostic testing is supported through a long-standing partnership with Metropolis Laboratory (NABL and CAP accredited), connected via co-founder Dr. Sushil Shah. The clinic has not raised outside capital, has no subsidiaries or parent company, and shows no disclosed product launches, geographic expansions, or strategic moves in the modern era.

Products and services

• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) First-line infertility treatment where prepared sperm is deposited directly into the uterine cavity; used for male factor, cervical factor, and unexplained infertility cases among couples seeking fertility treatment.
• IVF & ET (In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer) ART procedure where eggs are retrieved from ovaries and fertilized with sperm outside the body in a controlled laboratory; resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus. For infertile couples requiring assisted conception.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) Technique where a single morphologically normal sperm is injected directly into the center of an egg under an inverted microscope; developed for severe male factor infertility and repeated IVF failures.
• IMSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) Advanced sperm selection technique using 6000x magnification to examine sperm head for vacuoles, enabling better sperm selection and reportedly reducing missed abortions in male factor infertility cases.
• Assisted Embryo Hatching Laser-based procedure that partially removes the zona pellucida shell to assist embryo implantation in cases of thick or hardened shells or repeated implantation failure.
• Blastocyst Culture Extended embryo culture technique where embryos are cultured for 5 days to obtain blastocysts, enabling selection of the most viable embryos for transfer and improving pregnancy outcomes.
• PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) Chromosomal analysis of embryo cells extracted via micromanipulator and laser to select genetically competent embryos for transfer; recommended for elderly patients, recurrent IVF failures, and known genetic disease family history.
• Cryopreservation Vitrification-based cryopreservation technology for preserving sperm, embryos at various developmental stages, and testicular/epididymal sperm with high post-thaw survival rates for use in future IVF cycles.
• Oocyte Banking Egg cryopreservation facility for women requiring IVF with egg donation or those wishing to preserve oocytes for future family planning.
• Egg Donation Programme Oocyte donation service for women with primary ovarian insufficiency, chromosomal anomalies, or repeated IVF failures using donor oocytes.
• Embryo Donation Donated embryo transfer service for couples unable to produce viable embryos using embryos donated from other couples.
• Surrogacy
