Driving Motivation from Within
Talking about what motivates him to work tirelessly
towards better every day, Dr. Vaishya said, “I have a
passion for serving humanity, through my profession.
I feel that self-worth, self-esteem, and
self-satisfaction are the main intrinsic motivating
factors, which drive me to exceptional work
performance. Setting individual targets and goals
have also helped to enhance the performance. I
believe that developing our motivation depends on
recognizing our achievements and celebrating
successes in order to keep us heading towards our
goals.” He added, “However, sustaining the
motivation is not easy, and I found that one way of
doing it is by sharing our skills by coaching others to
achieve their potential.”

Other than that, all of Dr. Vaishya’s family has a
significant role to play in supporting him throughout
his professional journey. His better half, Pallavi,
encourages him to deliver the best in his work. His
father, Dr. P.D. Vaishya was a leading physician and
his mentor, who taught him the ethics and moral
values in dealing with the patients and their families.
Advice from the Wise
Achieving all that he has today, Dr. Vaishya is an
inspiration to many. He believes that leadership lies
in producing more leaders, not followers. Guiding the
young, upcoming doctors, he says, “Stay focused, go
after your dreams and keep moving toward your
goals. It may be a rough road that leads to the
heights of greatness. It is not enough to have a good
mind; the main thing is to use it well. Try to help
others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm
them. Thomas Jefferson rightly said, “it is neither
wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation
which gives happiness.” Empathy and commitment
towards your patients and colleagues are crucial
ingredients for being famous and successful. Last, but
not the least, Ethics and Morality are the two main
pillars for success and goodwill and must, therefore,
be strictly followed.”
