As the sector continues to grow to an estimated 638 billion, fueled by digital health revolutions and AI-based diagnostics, the nation is confronted by sharp differences, oversaturated urban centers and empty rural areas, home to more than two-thirds of the population and low access to specialized treatment. Lung diseases from tuberculosis sequelae to surging COPD and thoracic malignancies claim millions annually, yet timely surgical intervention remains elusive due to workforce shortages and infrastructural gaps. Yet, with programs such as the extended AIIMS network and the digital mission of Ayushman Bharat, there is light at the end of the tunnel, introducing AI in predictive respiratory screening, and allowing robotic accuracy in distance surgeries Jugaad-inspired innovations, from reusable energy devices to low-cost surgical adaptations, highlight how a paradigm shift can be achieved through redesigning equitable care towards the nation.Thoracic surgeons emerge as unsung architects in this narrative, bridging the thoracic divide with minimally invasive VATS, AI-assisted thrombectomies, and uniportal robotic procedures. Beyond the operating theater, they drive early nodule detection, multidisciplinary tumor boards, and community outreach, fostering a preventive ethos that destigmatizes chest ailments. As vanguards of precision and perseverance, these surgeons not only restore breath but also redefine India's health sovereignty, ensuring that every inhale reflects progress, innovation, and hope for millions across the country. In this edition, `Top 10 Prominent Thoracic Surgeons - 2025', siliconindia celebrates the trailblazers reshaping thoracic and respiratory care in India.Read on to explore their remarkable contributions and share your thoughts with us!Mandvi SinghManaging Editoreditor@siliconindia.comThe Invisible Hands Behind Every InhaleEditorial
