As a founder trustee of MOHAN Foundation he has been actively promoting the concept of deceased donation after brain death since 1997.[16] [17] Through the foundation he has worked for policy improvements and amendment of the law to ease deceased donation in India.[18] He has campaigned against organ commerce and believes that such activities which are reported widely by the media adversely affect public perception and acceptance of the deceased donation programme.[19] [20] On the 9th of October 2020 Dr.Shroff was invited as a Karmveer by Sony Television to the popular national program - Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) anchored by Amitabh Bachchan, along with actor Riteish Deshmukh as the champion of the cause.[21] [22] The show was selected as a special event on the eve of Amitabh Bachchan birthday that falls on 11th Oct.[23] Both Riteish and his wife Genelia had recently pledged to donate their organs.[24] The show helped create awareness about organ donation and at the same time won MOHAN Foundation prize money to promote the cause. On the request of Dr. Shroff, both Amitabh Bachchan and actor Riteish Deshmukh wore the Green ribbon and the KBC set was turned green in support of organ donation.[25]
Since 2002 he has also promoted the use of computer and information technology among doctors in India to make healthcare delivery more efficient, easily accessible and affordable.

He was the organizing secretary for Telemedicon 2020 - The 16th International Annual Conference of ‘Telemedicine Society of India’ from 18 December to 20 December 2020.[36] It was the first international-level tele-health conference after the notification of 'Telemedicine Practice Guidelines' by the Govt. of India and its theme was 'Telehealth - From the Fringes to the Mainstream'.[37]
