He is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Kundu has licenses to practice in Ontario, Arizona and Bermuda. He is board certified in the United States. Dr. Kundu is the only physician in Ontario to be sanctioned by the College of Physicians and Surgeons to perform Endovenous Laser Ablation for the treatment of varicose veins.

He is a member of the Radiological Society of North America, Society of Interventional Radiology, the American College of Phlebology, the American Society of Angiology, and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe. Dr. Kundu is a member of the Technology Assessment Committee, Standards of Practise Committee and the Venous Forum at the Society of Interventional Radiology. He is also a member of the Public Education Committee at the American College of Phlebology. He has been awarded Fellowship in the American Society of Angiology, Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe and Society of Interventional Radiology for his contribution to Endovascular Medicine and Minimally Invasive Procedures. Currently Dr. Kundu is involved in giving lectures worldwide on the technique and most recent advancements in Endovenous Laser Ablation for varicose veins and the latest treatment techniques for spider veins. As an interventional radiologist he is specialized in endovascular procedures both in the venous and arterial systems using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. Dr. Kundu utilizes a unique micropuncture technique to perform endovenous laser ablation and has had a 99% technical success to date.
Dr. Kundu has trained with Dr. Robert Min a world expert and founder of endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins. He has also trained with Dr. Robert Weiss, a world expert in the treatment of venous disorders including varicose veins and spider veins. In addition to his duties at The Vein Institute of Toronto, Dr. Kundu also practices at Scarborough Hospital-General Campus where he founded the uterine fibroid embolization program, carotid stenting program along with a number of new leading edge interventional radiological procedures. He is currently the medical director of the uterine fibroid embolization program, carotid stent program and co-medical director of the abdominal aneurysm endograft program at the Scarborough Hospital.
Dr. Kundu is currently involved in a number of research projects including evaluation of new agents for Uterine Artery Embolization; Determining the optimal angioplasty balloon for dialysis intervention; Determining the optimal protection device for renal artery stenting; and optimizing treatment of spider veins
