Dr. Angajala Rajasekhar: A Profile in Medicine, Wikimedia and Regional Service
Hyderabad, October 2025 — Dr. Angajala Rajasekhar, a pathologist based in Hyderabad, continues to occupy a unique position at the intersection of medicine and digital public knowledge, drawing attention not only for his clinical work but also for his long‐standing involvement in wiki communities.
Early Life and Academic Background
Born on 1 July 1961 in Salur, in the erstwhile unified Andhra Pradesh (now in Andhra Pradesh / Telangana border region), Dr. Rajasekhar is the third son of Jagannadhayya and Savithramma. He completed his MBBS at Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, before going on to pursue his MD in Pathology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.m’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), and later roles at Medwin Hospital in Hyderabad.
Professional Endeavours and Medical Practice
Dr. Rajasekhar is widely known as the proprietor of National Pathology Laboratory, Hyderabad, a diagnostic facility specializing in histopathology and cytopathology. His LinkedIn profile also lists him as “Owner, National Pathology Laboratory, Hyderabad.
His name appears in academic literature — for instance, as a co-author in a paper titled “Diagnostic utility of fine-needle sampling without aspiration: A prospective study,” reflecting his involvement in cytopathology research.
Over the years, Dr. Rajasekhar has provided pathology services to clinics and hospitals in Hyderabad and contributed to the medical needs of residents in his home region, particularly Salur and surrounding localities, where he is known to extend services to family and community members.
Wikimedia Work and Language Advocacy
Beyond medicine, Dr. Rajasekhar is a noted Wikipedian, particularly active in Telugu Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects. His contributions include writing and editing articles on topics spanning biology, health, Telugu culture, and language, and he is recognised in Telugu sources as a “Telugu language lover” and contributor to the Telugu Wikipedia.
He has held positions of responsibility within Wikimedia India and Telugu Wikipedia projects, and has been honored with recognition within the wiki community for his contributions.
Personal Life and Family
Dr. Rajasekhar is married to Dr. Padma Kumari (née Redlam), and the couple has two children: a daughter, Gautami Priyadarshini (pursuing MBBS at Osmania Medical College), and a son, Hemanth Kumar.
He maintains ties with his native region in Salur, and has extended medical support and advice to family and acquaintances in Balijipeta, Sigadam, and nearby areas.
As of 2025, Dr. Rajasekhar continues to run the pathology laboratory and remain active in both diagnostic medicine and Wikimedia contributions. While he does not appear prominently in mainstream media headlines, his dual role as a clinician and digital knowledge contributor holds significance in how specialist professionals engage with broader public knowledge platforms.
One challenge he faces is ensuring that his laboratory services maintain high standards and accreditation in a competitive diagnostic landscape in Hyderabad, especially with the rise of chain diagnostic firms and changing regulatory norms in medical diagnostics. Another is sustaining long-term volunteer contributions to online knowledge projects, balancing them against the demands of a medical enterprise.
Significance and Broader Impact
Dr. Rajasekhar’s career offers a useful case study in how professionals in specialized medical fields can leverage digital platforms to disseminate accurate information and promote public education. His involvement in Telugu Wikipedia helps bridge a knowledge gap for regional speakers, especially in domains of health and science.
At a time when misinformation in health is widespread, individuals like Dr. Rajasekhar, who straddle clinical practice and knowledge curation, could be valuable intermediaries. However, their influence is often under-recognised in mainstream reporting.
