India gets on the Global Map

India’s own Chiropractic Education by Chiropractic India®

Chiropractic India® is starting it’s Faculty Training program to develop local Graduates to teach the 6 years Chiropractic Masters Fellowship program in India. A much awaited niche for India and India’s own School and college for Chiropractic education along with a professional body association to govern and legalise the profession in India.

India is a Greenfield’s site for Chiropractic meaning the program must first teach its faculty and place them in active practice so they may return and fill the teaching positions in this inaugural program and in subsequent programs   which will be rolled-out across  the Nation over the next 3 years.

A key element of this initiative is the partnership with Sri Sri University’s newly developed AI-supported online education platform, which provides a technological foundation for delivering advanced academic programs, international collaboration, and distributed faculty development.

Integrated AI-Driven education framework

SSU’s hybrid AI learning platform, powered by Chiropractic India’s® encrypted AI technology, offers a seamless digital environment for global academic management. This state-of-the-art system integrates virtual labs and AI-assisted tools to deliver consistent, high-standard curriculum as proprietary IP. The framework is currently being deployed to scale Chiropractic education internationally, combining remote academic excellence with localised clinical training. Headquartered at CI® Bangalore, the program nominated and utilises Dr Spine© - India health centres as dedicated internship hubs to ensure students gain essential hands-on experience.

Program development and international collaboration

Chiropractic India® is the brainchild of Prof Dr Jayul Doshi, who is also a professor of Clinical Sciences with Sri Sri University. Doshi has partnered with Sri Sri University to establish India’s first Chiropractic Faculty Training Program (FTP) and a Master’s level Chiropractic education pathway along with a professional association to legalise the practice of Chiropractic in India. 

This initiative represents a significant milestone for the Chiropractic profession in India. For the first time, a structured academic pathway is being developed to prepare Chiropractors not only for clinical practice but also for academic leadership and faculty development within university environments.

The Faculty Training Program is designed to prepare a new generation of Chiropractic educators capable of supporting the launch and long-term sustainability of Chiropractic programs in multiple regions of the world. By combining university-based instruction with the university’s AI-supported learning platform, the program will allow participants from multiple countries to participate in a shared academic environment.

Building an international faculty network

Chiropractic India’s® inaugural FTP cohort is going live in August 2026 with approximately thirty international participants in addition to Indian students. Participants are from countries where Chiropractic education development is actively underway, including India, the Philippines, Nigeria, and Ethiopia.

The motive of Chiropractic India® is to establish India as an epicentre and an academic hub within this emerging international Chiropractic education network. Through the combination of on-campus instruction and AI-supported digital learning systems, the university aims to create a scalable model for faculty training that can support Chiropractic program development in multiple countries.

International academic participation

Through this collaboration, Chiropractic India® not only serves as the mentor of the profession, but also assists and helps the Federal Govt of India to regulate the profession with a national professional partner supporting the advancement of Chiropractic education within the country to produce Indian doctors of Chiropractic, contribute it’s international curriculum framework, faculty development, and global network of academic partners.

Looking ahead

The partnership between Chiropractic India® and SSU represents an important step toward expanding Chiropractic education globally. By combining faculty development with advanced digital learning technology, this initiative seeks to create the educational infrastructure necessary for the responsible and sustainable growth of the profession.

As preparations move forward toward the August 2026 launch of the Faculty Training Program, the initiative reflects a shared commitment among international partners to develop the next generation of Chiropractic educators and extend the reach of Chiropractic care to regions where the profession has not yet been fully established.

Further updates will be shared as program planning progresses and as the first cohort of international faculty trainees prepares to begin this historic educational initiative. In the mean time any queries are welcome to info@chiropracticindia.com or by phone on + 91 634 404 7575.
