The delivery was carried out at Jaslok Hospital in Mumbai by gynaecologist Dr. Indira Hinduja (who had lead the team during Chawda's birth in 1986) and Dr. Kusum Zaveri.

Harsha Chawda was India's first test tube baby, a feat that had made IVF specialist Dr Indira Hinduja a household name in the country. So, Dr Hinduja was the natural choice for a gynaecologist when Harsha conceived last year. "I had kept in touch with her all these years. She is my second mother," Harsha told The Hindu on Monday evening, adding that she had a smooth pregnancy.
