Dr Samit Sekhar, Surrogacy Program Director and Embryologist at Hyderabad-based Kiran Infertility Centre, says "The profile of surrogates has changed in the last three-four years and it is no more poor women with an incomplete primary education who come to become surrogates."
Educated women, who have worked in call centres, hospitality industry, air hostesses, and retail professionals, are now willing to be surrogates.
“The economy hasn’t been doing well and people are jobless despite skills. And when they see their friends earning through surrogacy, the word spreads,” he says.
