Dr. Ankur Bindal's career was built in medicine, as a physician trained and certified in both psychiatry and sleep medicine. In 2016 he founded KAB Medical Group, the San Diego and Los Angeles practice known as KMG Psychiatry, and he guided it as CEO and President through 2025. Under his leadership, the practice brought together traditional psychiatric care and brain stimulation therapies. Ankur Bindal is now President and Co-Founder of Aroga Group.

The heart of his clinical work was brain stimulation. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment delivered on an outpatient basis; it applies magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, with the goal of improving symptoms of depression and other conditions. It's generally used for patients whose antidepressant medications haven't brought relief. The brain stimulation practice Dr. Bindal established at KMG Psychiatry reached high volume, and its patients included former NFL players, professionals, fellow physicians and people from around the world. He also extended access to TMS, a costly and innovative therapy, to underserved patients.

He was designated a Diamond Circle Provider, a distinction given to the highest-volume TMS practices. Health Conference 2.0 honored him in 2023 with two awards, the Outstanding Leadership Award and the Outstanding Corporation Award.

TMS was one part of a broader treatment approach. Throughout his time in practice, Dr. Ankur Bindal paired medication management and counseling with newer options, among them TMS and intranasal esketamine (Spravato). Blending the established with the innovative was, for him, a way to pursue the best possible outcomes for patients.

Sleep medicine formed the other major pillar of his expertise. He trained as a fellow in sleep medicine at the University of Michigan's Department of Neurology, and he earned board certification in the field. He was a co-founder, co-owner and Treasurer of Progressive Sleep Center, Inc. Yuma Regional Medical Center is where he served as Executive Medical Director, Adult Psychiatrist and Sleep Specialist. Among his research collaborations were projects examining how obstructive sleep apnea affects intracranial pressure, how CPAP is used in pregnant women with sleep-related breathing disorders, how early-life REM deprivation influences late-onset depression and hippocampal plasticity in rat models, and what role intermittent hypoxia plays in preventing myocardial infarction in dog models.

Government Medical College in Chandigarh, India, awarded him his Doctor of Medicine degree in 2003. At the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, he earned a Master of Public Health with majors in Clinical Research/Biostatistics and Social and Behavioral Sciences. His residencies were in Family Medicine at Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and in Adult Psychiatry at the University of Mississippi Medical Center's Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior. Ankur Bindal earned Diplomate certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and he was named both a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and a Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Beyond KMG Psychiatry, his clinical roles included Medical Director and Adult Psychiatrist at Aligned Integrated Medical Group, as well as Co-owner and Vice President of Pacific Health System. He sat on the Quality Monitoring Committees of both Community Health Group and Yuma Regional Medical Center and was part of the Vice-Chancellor's Residents Group of Fellows on Health, Engagement, Advocacy and Leadership.

Among his professional honors are the Ed Draper Award for Outstanding Senior Resident, the American Psychiatric Association Diversity Leadership Award, the Psychopharmacological Scholar's Award, and the National Institute of Mental Health/American Academy of Clinical Psychopharmacology Award. The Arizona Psychiatric Society also acknowledged him. He was a member of the American Psychiatric Association, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the San Diego Psychiatric Association, and he spent two years on the American Psychiatric Association Member Council of Health Care Systems and Financing.

Dr. Bindal carried his clinical knowledge beyond the clinic as well, speaking and sitting on panels at multiple national and regional conferences. Writing as a Forbes Business Council contributor, he addressed how business leaders can manage seasonal depression, which sleep habits support a restful night, and how to sharpen mental clarity and focus over the course of a workday. Time featured him in a piece on the best advice from sleep doctors. He was also featured in a Fox 5 San Diego segment about local psychiatrists working to remove the stigma of anxiety and depression, and in the You Matter segment on CBS 8 that set mental health myths against effective treatments.

Nearly a decade into his leadership of KMG Psychiatry, Dr. Ankur Bindal made Aroga Group, the Southern California-based company he had co-founded in 2020, the full focus of his time. The companies he oversees there as President and Co-Founder work in residential and commercial real estate investing and holding, development, and management services. Workplace topics also appear in his Forbes Business Council bylines, which cover setting boundaries at work and clearing mental clutter.

From 2022 to 2025, he served on the board of the Department of Consumer Affairs Structural Pest Control Board. He was also a member of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce's Health Care Committee; the Chamber featured KAB Medical Group in a member spotlight. San Diego Business Journal named him to its 2025 list of the Top 50 Most Influential Health Care Leaders. San Diego Magazine featured him in Faces of San Diego 2023 and later named him one of its Top 50 People to Watch in 2026.

Ankur Bindal's philanthropic support has gone to local schools, military affiliates, the YMCA, the Red Cross and professional health organizations. When he isn't working, he likes spending time with his wife, daughter and dog.

As his scope expanded, he led integrated genetics organizations, developed high-throughput genotyping operations, and implemented global systems for genetic sample and data management. He oversaw teams, budgets, and quality processes while supporting pharmacogenetic and disease-association studies that informed safer, more reliable drug development.

Bouzyk advanced into leadership roles with broader strategic responsibility, overseeing discovery projects across international research locations. He guided genetics programs from planning through execution, ensuring alignment with organizational priorities and research objectives. By working closely with senior leadership, he helped identify operational limitations, improve resource use, and strengthen coordination across distributed teams. His leadership style emphasized clarity, collaboration, and measured progress, allowing complex research portfolios to move forward efficiently while maintaining consistency and scientific integrity.

Mark Bouzyk later returned to an academic medical environment as a faculty member, where he directed multiple core laboratories and genomics centers supporting translational research. He built service platforms that connected experimental genetics with clinical studies, enabling cross-disciplinary collaboration. Alongside this work, he demonstrated entrepreneurial leadership by co-founding biotechnology and digital health companies focused on genomics, biomarker development, and clinical workflow improvement. Outside professional life, he values family, creative pursuits, physical activity, and long-term support for animal welfare efforts rooted in compassion and responsibility.

Dino Crnalic is an entrepreneur and executive whose professional journey reflects steady progress built on discipline, patience, and responsibility. He immigrated to the United States in 1999 and began shaping his future through education and consistent effort. Adjusting to a new environment required humility and perseverance, which influenced his long-term perspective on opportunity and work. Rather than pursuing rapid recognition, he focused on learning how systems function, earning trust through dependable actions, and developing habits that support stability, accountability, and sustainable professional growth over time.

Dino completed his university education while competing as a collegiate athlete, balancing academic expectations with the structure and demands of organized sports. This stage of life requires focus, resilience, and strong time management. Daily training and competition reinforced the importance of preparation, teamwork, and composure under pressure, while academic responsibilities emphasized consistency and follow-through. These experiences helped him understand the value of shared effort and personal accountability, lessons that later shaped his approach to leadership and decision-making in professional settings.

Crnalic began his professional career in the health and fitness industry, gaining early exposure to both customer engagement and operational execution. Work in the supplement and retail environment provided practical insight into consumer education, ethical responsibility, and the importance of consistency in daily business activities. During this time, he remained personally committed to training and continued expanding his understanding of conditioning and health management. This balance between hands-on experience and continued learning helped him develop a realistic and grounded view of the industry.

Dino Crnalic later transitioned into gym ownership, operating two fitness facilities over a combined twelve-year period. These businesses grew steadily and eventually employed more than one hundred individuals across training, operations, and administrative roles. He remained directly involved in hiring, staff development, scheduling, and operational oversight. Managing teams of this size required patience, clear communication, and consistent standards, particularly during periods of growth, staffing challenges, and ongoing changes within the fitness industry.

Dino gained meaningful entrepreneurial experience through the long-term operation and expansion of these fitness businesses. The facilities served individuals with a wide range of experience levels, requiring adaptability and respect for personal goals. One location received public attention for its scale and long-term vision, reflecting careful planning rather than rushed growth. These years reinforced lessons in financial discipline, customer retention, and the importance of maintaining service quality during both stable periods and times of economic uncertainty.

Crnalic expanded his professional focus beyond gym ownership into executive leadership and capital development. He has participated in raising more than twenty million dollars in capital for business ventures, working with investors to support growth while maintaining accountability. He currently serves in a chief operating officer role in the health care sector, overseeing operational systems and contributing to organizational strategy. This position reflects years of experience managing people, processes, and long-term performance expectations with consistency and care.

Dino Crnalic maintains a regular fitness routine as part of daily life, including strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and structured conditioning. He also pursues challenging outdoor activities that require preparation, focus, and an appreciation of risk. Experiences such as deep-water scuba diving and skiing reinforce discipline and composure under demanding conditions. These activities are approached as personal practices that support balance, mental clarity, and long-term physical well-being rather than external recognition.

Dino places strong importance on family, integrity, and responsibility in both personal and professional life. He is a devoted father who prioritizes presence, guidance, and shared experiences while also caring for close family members. After experiencing the loss of his wife to severe illness in 2011, he committed time and effort to charitable support through an established organization. This period reinforced values of compassion, consistency, and long-term commitment that continue to guide his decisions and actions.

I am a natural problem-solver and connector — a leader with a designer’s mindset: creative at the core, driven to help people, and strengthened by over 20 years of experience in digital design and strategy. As a Senior UX & CX Advisor for the Dutch government, I believe that digital services only succeed when users are truly at the center and when teams share responsibility for the outcome. My strength lies in bringing people and perspectives together—users, stakeholders, and teams—to translate deep insights into clear strategy and direction within complex organizations.

My passion for human-centered design and empathy is deeply rooted in my personal journey. For two decades, I have lived with diabetes. What felt like a heavy daily burden for years, I have successfully transformed into my ultimate strength: a profound resilience and a lived understanding of what users and patients truly need. Today, I use this strength to help others, including through my role on the Social Advisory Council of the Diabetes Fonds.

What drives me is inspiring others and creating a shared course. Leadership is about giving space for people to grow, for teams to collaborate, and for ideas to become reality. I am deeply inspired by the words of Nelson Mandela: “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” I carry that exact resilience into my work and my life — to persevere, learn, and build meaningful digital services together.
