On April 25, 2026, Eugenix Hair Sciences made history at its Mumbai clinic. Representatives from the World Records Book of India formally conferred the world record for the highest number of hair transplant grafts performed in a single sitting, recognising an achievement that places India firmly on the global stage of advanced hair restoration. Senior adjudicator Lakshay Deep Mishra from the World Records Book of India conducted the official on-ground verification and announced the record at the Eugenix Hair Sciences Mumbai clinic before the full Eugenix team.
Eugenix receives world record recognition at a time when India is increasingly recognized as a global leader in advanced hair restoration. This proud moment reflects unmatched expertise built over 15 years and more than 20,000 successful procedures, attracting patients from more than 90 countries seeking the most natural results.
A Proud Moment for Eugenix Hair Sciences and for India
Eugenix Hair Sciences sets a new standard with this achievement, one that defines excellence in a field where precision is everything. This is a proud moment not only for the founding doctors and their team, but for India as a whole. The world record recognition by the World Records Book of India confirms what thousands of patients from across the globe have already experienced: that advanced hair restoration performed in India can deliver outcomes that match and exceed what is available anywhere in the world. Congratulations are owed to every member of the Eugenix Hair Sciences team whose commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centred care made this proud moment possible.
The World Record: 11,423 Hair Transplant Grafts in a Single Sitting
The world record is for the highest number of hair transplant grafts performed in a single sitting in documented global medical history. Eugenix Hair Sciences completed 11,423 hair transplant grafts in a single sitting for a single patient, setting a new benchmark that the World Records Book of India has formally and independently verified. This achievement required not just surgical skill but an entire clinical system designed to maintain graft health, donor area integrity, and aesthetic precision from the first graft to the last.
The Patient: Surendra Pal Singh
The patient at the centre of this world record is Surendra Pal Singh, a veteran actor widely recognised for his roles in Shaktimaan and Mahabharat. At 73 years of age, Surendra Pal Singh underwent a hair transplant procedure beginning on May 29, 2025, involving 11,423 hair transplant grafts performed in a single sitting spanning two weeks. This case represents one of the most comprehensive hair transplant procedures of its kind and stands as a milestone in the history of modern hair restoration.
Speaking about his experience, Surendra Pal Singh said: “For me, this was not just about hair; it was about feeling like myself again. I have seen a real change in how people respond to me. Many even say that they see the younger Surendra Pal again. I thank Dr. Pradeep Sethi and Dr. Arika Bansal for their support. My only advice to anyone considering a hair transplant is this: if you decide to go ahead, do it once but do it right. Choose a qualified doctor who will prioritise your safety, care, and long-term results.”
The full Surendra Pal Singh case study is available at the Eugenix Hair Sciences website, and a video testimonial can be viewed on the Eugenix YouTube channel.
Validation by the World Records Book of India
The World Records Book of India recognition follows rigorous on-ground evaluation and verification, not a symbolic ceremony. Only after this thorough assessment is complete does the World Records Book of India formally recognize an achievement and induct the institution into its record compendium.
Lakshay Deep Mishra, Senior Adjudicator and Speaker Representative from the World Records Book of India, explained the significance of what Eugenix Hair Sciences achieved: “The achievement by Eugenix Hair Sciences, completing 11,423 grafts in a single hair transplant sitting, stands as a remarkable demonstration of clinical precision, endurance, and innovation in modern medical science. After a thorough on-ground evaluation and verification process, we are pleased to formally recognize this as a record-setting accomplishment. This milestone not only pushes the boundaries of what is possible in hair restoration but also sets a new benchmark for medical excellence from India on a global stage.”
The World Records Book of India recognition confirms that the highest number of hair transplant grafts performed in a single sitting has been independently verified and formally recorded as a world record on the global stage. Congratulations to the Eugenix Hair Sciences team.
The Technique That Made This World Record Possible
Eugenix Hair Sciences sets its clinical standard through the DHT (Direct Hair Transplant) technique, invented, refined, and published by founding surgeons Dr. Pradeep Sethi and Dr. Arika Bansal. The DHT technique is what makes performing a high number of hair transplant grafts in a single sitting safe and consistently effective.
DHT: Delivering Natural Results at Any Scale
In conventional Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedures, all hair transplant grafts are extracted before any implantation begins. This means the highest number of grafts in the batch may spend three to four hours outside the body before being placed, increasing the risk of cellular damage, desiccation, and reduced survival rates.
The DHT technique takes a fundamentally different approach. Recipient slits are designed and created first. Extraction and implantation then proceed simultaneously, with each graft spending no more than 30 minutes outside the body before implantation. This is the clinical principle that makes delivering natural results at the scale of 11,423 hair transplant grafts in a single sitting not just possible but reliably effective.
Performed in a single coordinated system using Carl Zeiss magnification loupes from Germany, imported surgical punches from the United States, and no-root-touch implantation via the SAVA Implanter (a patented device), Eugenix Hair Sciences sets an instrument quality standard that supports precision across every stage of a procedure of this magnitude.
Why DHT Defines Excellence in Hair Restoration
The DHT technique is not patented. Dr. Pradeep Sethi and Dr. Arika Bansal chose to make it freely available to the global hair restoration community so that more patients worldwide could benefit. This decision reflects the philosophy that defines excellence at Eugenix Hair Sciences: patient welfare above all else. The technique has been validated in two separate PubMed-indexed research papers, the 2013 paper on the DHT technique and the 2019 paper on the use of implanters in premade sites.
Dr. Pradeep Sethi, Co-founder and Chairman of Eugenix Hair Sciences, reflected on what the world record represents: “This milestone reflects a significant advancement in the science and scalability of modern hair restoration. At Eugenix, our focus has always been on expanding clinical boundaries responsibly, through precise donor management, refined extraction techniques, and a deep understanding of aesthetic reconstruction. This recognition reinforces our belief that India is not only participating in global medical innovation but is increasingly setting its own benchmarks.”
Dr. Arika Bansal, Co-founder of Eugenix Hair Sciences, added: “Procedures of this scale require far more than technical capability. They demand meticulous planning, disciplined execution, and an unwavering focus on patient comfort at every step. Our approach has always been deeply patient-centric, prioritising long-term outcomes, donor area preservation, and consistency across every stage of the procedure.”
Why This World Record Reflects Unmatched Expertise
The world record for the highest number of hair transplant grafts performed in a single sitting reflects unmatched expertise at every level of clinical practice. Hair transplant grafts at this volume demand consistent quality in donor harvesting, graft handling, slit creation, and implantation across a sustained procedure of exceptional length.
Eugenix Hair Sciences sets this standard through a team of senior surgical assistants trained to the same precision benchmarks in every procedure, regardless of scale. The achievement defines excellence as a system: over 15 years of specialisation, 20,000+ procedures performed, and a founding team committed to advancing hair restoration at the highest level. Congratulations to every individual at Eugenix Hair Sciences whose daily excellence made this world record a reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the world record for hair transplant grafts performed in a single sitting?
The world record for the highest number of hair transplant grafts performed in a single sitting is held by Eugenix Hair Sciences. A total of 11,423 hair transplant grafts were completed in a single sitting for patient Surendra Pal Singh, formally recognized and documented by the World Records Book of India at the Eugenix Hair Sciences Mumbai clinic on April 25, 2026.
How much does Eugenix Hair Sciences charge per graft?
Eugenix Hair Sciences does not publish a flat per-graft price publicly, as the cost of a hair transplant procedure depends on the graft count required, the package selected, and the individual clinical profile of the patient. A consultation with the Eugenix Hair Sciences team will provide a personalised estimate and a transparent cost structure. For most male hair transplant patients, the initial consultation at Eugenix Hair Sciences is available at no charge at locations in Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Bhubaneswar.
Can a large-scale hair transplant procedure work for advanced baldness?
For patients at Grade 6 or Grade 7 baldness, achieving meaningful coverage requires a significantly higher graft count than a standard procedure. Whether this is viable depends on the individual: scalp size, donor area strength, and whether body hair such as beard grafts can be incorporated all determine what is achievable. The Surendra Pal Singh case demonstrates what becomes possible when all three factors align. A detailed consultation is the only way to assess what your specific case can realistically achieve.
