The event brought together over 500 attendees celebrating the achievements of entrepreneurs and innovators from different walks of life.

The prestigious accolade is in recognition of Dr. Moopen's valuable contribution and efforts in the field of healthcare. Under his leadership, Aster DM Healthcare in the last 32 years has become one of the few entities across the globe providing the complete circle of care from primary, secondary, tertiary to quaternary medical care. The journey, that Dr. Moopen started with a single doctor clinic in Dubai in 1987, when healthcare was still in its primitive stages in the region, has played a significant role in shaping the healthcare industry in GCC and India. Today, Aster DM Healthcare has grown into an integrated healthcare conglomerate of over 350 establishments including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and diagnostic centres spread across nine countries. The company was also listed in the Indian stock market in February 2018.

"It is an honor to receive such a prestigious award from Entrepreneur India. I owe this recognition to all the team members of Aster DM Healthcare, without whose unrelenting contribution and support, this wouldn't have been possible. We are committed to provide quality healthcare at affordable cost and bring the latest advancements in healthcare to India and GCC. With evolving patient needs, it is essential for us to be constantly aware of their requirement and innovate to be able to introduce solutions that can address these needs. The passion and commitment of medical professionals and management team help us to live up to our brand promise - We'll Treat You Well," said Dr. Moopen.
