History

Metropolis was founded by Dr. Sushil Kanubhai Shah in 1980. [7] The healthcare company was started as a single diagnostic laboratory in Mumbai. Shah's daughter, Ameera Shah, took over the pathology business in 2001. The company started out by partnering with local and regional diagnostic chains, thereby spreading its reach across the country. Metropolis Healthcare has expanded into new service areas, like Clinical Research, Hospital Lab Management and Wellness Solutions, in the past decade. [8] Metropolis Healthcare began its international expansion in 2005 with Sri Lanka being the first market. It further expanded to UAE in 2006, followed by Kenya in 2013 [9] and Mauritius [10] [11] and Ghana [12] in 2014.

In February 2018, Metropolis partnered with National Aids Control Organisation (NACO) for a three-year project for diagnosis of HIV at 560 locations in India. [13] [14] As of 2018, the diagnostic chain consists of 124 clinical laboratories and 2400 blood collection centers [5] [7] across India, Ghana, Kenya, Zambia, Uganda, Mauritius and Sri Lanka.[ citation needed ]

In October 2019, Metropolis Healthcare acquired four individual laboratories, Doctor's Clinical Laboratory, Iyer Pathology Laboratory, Nagar Pathology Laboratory and Yash Clinical Laboratory, a subsidiary of Dr Lal PathLabs in Surat, Gujarat, for INR 18 crore.

[19] The Shah family purchased the exiting stake from Warburg Pincus for a healthy return on investment. [20] The company is backed by several investors including Carlyle Group, CA Lotus Investments [21] and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR). In 2015, KKR backed Ameera Shah through ₹5.6 billion (equivalent to ₹8.5 billionorUS$100 million in 2023) promoter debt funding. [22]

In April 2019, the company raised Rs 530 crore from 26 anchor investors, including Small Cap World Fund, Neuberger Berman Emerging Market Equity Fund, Fundsmith Emerging Equities Trust PLC and First State Indian Sub Continent Fund, among others. [23]

[31] In August 2018, Metropolis initiated an "Umbrella Handshake" campaign to create awareness about health.
