Namaste and a hearfelt welcome to all our esteemed delegates, colleagues, and friends from across Asia and beyond,

It is with immense pride and joy that we welcome you to ECHO ASIA 2026, hosted in the vibrant heart of India—New Delhi. As the Secretary of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography, I am honoured to extend our warmest greetings on behalf of the organizing committee.

This year’s conference marks a pivotal moment in our shared journey of advancing cardiovascular imaging. ECHO ASIA 2026 brings together the brightest minds, pioneering researchers, and passionate clinicians to explore the evolving frontiers of echocardiography.

New Delhi, a city where ancient heritage meets cutting-edge progress, offers the perfect backdrop for this convergence of science, culture, and camaraderie. We hope you will not only engage in enriching academic exchanges but also experience the warmth of Indian hospitality, the richness of our traditions, and the energy of our capital city.

Let this gathering be a celebration of knowledge, a catalyst for new ideas, and a reaffirmation of our commitment to excellence in cardiovascular care.

Welcome to ECHO ASIA 2026. Welcome to India.
