My Journey
I grew up in Tirunelveli in a humble farmer family. Life was never easy — when agricultural losses forced my family to relocate to Chennai, we arrived with nothing but our dreams and determination. Those early struggles shaped who I am today.
Despite the hardships, I found my strength in academics, consistently ranking first in my class. My father always dreamed of seeing me become a doctor, and I was determined to make that happen. I earned gold medals during both my MBBS and MS studies, and that drive carried me all the way to the Royal College in London and Kiel University in Germany for advanced training.
That same resilience led me to establish my own IVF clinic — now one of the leading fertility centres in Chennai. Today, as Co-founder and Director of The Hive Fertility and Women's Centre, I am on a mission to bring world-class fertility care to every couple who walks through our doors, and I have plans to extend this impact globally.
Why Dr. Rukkayal?
My journey in medicine began with a gold medal in MBBS and continued through MS in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at the prestigious Madras Medical College. I then pursued MRCOG in London and FRM at Kiel University, Germany — driven by the belief that every couple deserves access to world-class fertility care, right here in Chennai.
With 12+ years of experience and 6 years as a dedicated fertility specialist, I bring international expertise and compassionate, personalized care to every patient. I am also a visiting consultant at Apollo Hospital, Motherhood Hospital, Cloud Nine Hospital, MGM Hospital, Metha Hospital, and St. Isabel Hospital.
