The Gift of Life: Understanding Organ Donation in India | Aprajita, COO of ORGAN India

One organ donor can change—and even save—many lives. Yet organ donation is still surrounded by fear, confusion, and misconceptions. In this episode of Kidney Talkies, I speak with Aprajita, Chief Operating Officer of ORGAN India, about what organ donation truly means and why honest conversations about it are so important. Aprajita helps us understand how organ donation works in India, the difference between living and deceased donation, and the role families play in making these deeply personal decisions. We also talk about the myths that often prevent people from registering as donors, the challenges faced by patients waiting for a transplant, and the work ORGAN India is doing to spread awareness and support meaningful change. As a kidney transplant recipient myself, this conversation is especially close to my heart. Organ donation is more than a medical process—it is a gift of hope, time, and a second chance at life. If you have ever wondered how organ donation works, whether your family needs to know your wishes, or how you can help build awareness, this episode is for you.
