Soin is recognised all over the world for his pioneering work in liver transplantation. From 2001 to 2010, he established a liver transplant center at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital that went on to become one of the largest across the world. In June 2010, he moved to The Medicity, Gurgaon to start a new center as he foresaw unparalleled opportunities to provide world-class care along with cutting-edge research and innovation. Medanta is one of the largest and the most modern tertiary care hospitals in the country. Here, Soin has established a 150-bed dedicated Liver Treatment facility, carrying out 250 liver transplants and hundreds of complex liver and biliary tract surgeries every year. Soin has performed more than 2000 living donor liver transplants in India, the highest in India and the second highest in the world. He also has to his credit more than 12000 other complex liver, gall bladder and bile duct surgeries. His team currently performs 22–25 live donor liver transplants every month with an immediate success rate of about 90% – amongst the world's highest. Apart from referrals from all over the country, he handles cases from the rest of South Asia, The Middle East and Africa. He has also been responsible for training most of the remaining liver transplant teams in India. In disseminating expertise across the country and beyond, building confidence in the procedure among patients and their referring physicians, moving it from experimental status to a highly reliable life-saving procedure, he has in a true sense, pioneered the development of this speciality in India and the subcontinent in the last 20 years. Soin serves on the committees of all the important National and International societies, as well as on the National Advisory Board in Liver Transplantation. He is a regular Faculty member and speaker at most world fora in Liver Transplantation such as ILTS, AASLD, APDW, IHPBA, IASGO, APASL, Asian Living Donor Liver Transplant Group and Asia Pacific Organ Transplant Forum, many more.
