[[Cardiac surgery#Open heart surgery|Open heart surgery]] in India was at a nascent stage in the 1970s and early 1980s. After Panday returned to India from Canada, he joined the [[King Edward Memorial Hospital and Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College]] (KEM), in which he performed hundreds of open heart surgeries. The hospital was run on a government grant and generally catered to the middle class and poor, as the surgery was at the cost of the government. The hospital was one of the very few places in India where heart surgery was performed. Panday was the chief of the second unit at KEM.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://medind.nic.in/ibq/t03/i2/ibqt03i2p87o.pdf | title=chief of the second unit | publisher=nic.in | accessdate=2017-09-25 | url-status=live | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180429135329/http://medind.nic.in/ibq/t03/i2/ibqt03i2p87o.pdf | archivedate=2018-04-29 }}</ref>

Bloodless heart surgery was pioneered by American surgeon [[Denton Cooley]]. It was also performed by doctor Jerome Kay in [[Los Angeles]] and the procedure soon spread around the world. Panday, who trained under the Canadian surgeon [[Wilfred Gordon Bigelow]], adopted the technique and tailored it to Indian conditions. He performed bloodless open heart surgeries at KEM in the 1970s and 1980s. Bloodless heart surgery was cost-effective in India, as it did not require [[blood transfusion]]s, reduced the chances of infection in case of infected blood, and further reduced postoperative costs. Bloodless heart surgery was also performed on [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], as they refused donated blood.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PHVL-V31hZoC&pg=PA2| title=Basics of Blood Management | publisher=Wiley-Blackwell | author=Petra Seeber | year=2012 | pages=358 | isbn=978-0470670705}}</ref><ref name=usb/><ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r02_z75nmBsC&dq=Sharad+Panday | title=Bloodless heart surgery in India | publisher=Year Book Medical Publishers | author=James E.

This was the first operation of its kind in India, as tumors in that part of the heart are considered uncommon.<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PYy32erEVbsC&q=Sharad+Panday | title=Bombay: The City Magazine, Volume 7, Issue 2 | journal=Bombay | publisher=Living Media India | year=1986 | accessdate=2017-09-29 | author=University of California | url-status=live | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171001032348/https://books.google.com/books?id=PYy32erEVbsC&q=Sharad+Panday | archivedate=2017-10-01 }}</ref>
