"Hi. I'm Dr.Mani. I write and sell books to help fund heart surgery for poor children."

Dr.Mani - http://DrMani.name

 

Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian is a heart surgeon who uses online marketing to raise funds for sponsoring life-saving surgery for under-privileged children born with congenital heart defects.

Heart surgery is expensive. Many of Dr.Mani's patients cannot afford treatment. So he decided to try and help fund the operations.

This was the concept behind an online adventure that started in 1996.

13 years later, the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation has raised over $130,000 and funded heart surgery in 47 children. He's well on his way to achieve an ambitious mission - to make high quality heart health care accessible and affordable to every Indian child.

At the heart of this effort is the books he has written, over 65 of them till date. Many have been published digitally, as e-books. Some are even available in print. His latest works are:

• A fiction novel: The Double-Crosser
• A business book: Think, Write & RETIRE!
• A new age guide: The Icedrop
