A key member of the surgical team responsible for the first Government-sector Heart Transplant in Rajasthan, Dr. Sharma leads a world-class programme in right mini-thoracotomy with central cannulation — a technique his institution has refined over more than a decade, now representing one of the world's largest series in minimally invasive valvular heart surgery. His surgical expertise encompasses the full spectrum of cardiac, thoracic, and vascular procedures, including valve replacement, ASD/VSD repair, CABG, thoracofemoral bypass, aortic surgery, and complex congenital heart disease correction.

He has also contributed to private-sector paediatric cardiac surgery as Associate Consultant at Fortis Healthcare, Jaipur. He is an active member of the Indian Society of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeons, the Indian Association of Coronary Surgeons, the Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Society, and the Indian Association of Yoga.
