AOCO Conference 2025 was a truly enriching and impactful experience, an obesity-focused conference that brought together some of India’s finest endocrinologists alongside distinguished experts from the Asia–Oceania region.
The scientific scope of the conference was exceptionally broad and future-oriented, addressing the evolving landscape of obesity management. Key discussions included the future of obesity therapeutics, the role of chronobiology and circadian rhythms in metabolic regulation, comprehensive medical and lifestyle interventions, dietary strategies, and the complex concept of diabesity, offering a holistic and evidence-based perspective on obesity care.
It was a great honour to be felicitated by Dr. Jitendra Singh, Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, Government of India.
As a President, it was a privilege to be part of this remarkable academic journey. I extend my sincere thanks to Dr. B.M. Makkar for conceptualising and organising such an outstanding conference, and to all the doctors and faculty for their time, trust, and collective efforts, which made this event both meaningful and memorable.
-Dr. Mahendra Narwaria.
