These experiences underscored for him the emotional and physical toll of autopsies, not only on the deceased’s families but also on those conducting these procedures. This awareness led him to a visionary breakthrough: the idea of digital autopsies. Dr. Bagali imagined a way to maintain forensic rigor without compromising the dignity of the deceased, ultimately leading to the development of ForDigiopsy®, a revolutionary no-cut autopsy solution that relies on advanced digital imaging for non-invasive forensic analysis.

Dr. Bagali's career spans over 32 years of academic and research excellence in forensic medicine and toxicology. With a medical degree from Bangalore University and a specialization in Forensic Medicine & Toxicology from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, he has been an influential figure in forensic science education and practice. His tenure includes distinguished positions as a plenary session lecturer for Forensic Medicine at the International Medical University in Malaysia and a forensic advisor to the Royal Malaysian Police. His service in the Indian Army Medical Services, during which he was awarded five medals for active operations in challenging terrains such as Jammu & Kashmir, further enriched his forensic expertise.
