Aster

Aster DM Healthcare is an integrated healthcare delivery company operating hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories, pharmacies, and digital health services, with major operations in India and a GCC healthcare presence through the broader Aster brand. Founded by Dr. Azad Moopen, the company has grown from a single clinic into a large multi-specialty care network spanning primary through quaternary care. In India, Aster operates hospitals, clinics, labs, pharmacies, and patient-facing digital platforms under brands such as Aster Hospitals, Aster Clinics, Aster Labs, and Aster Pharmacy. The company is publicly traded in India and has recently pursued a transformational merger with Quality Care India to create Aster DM Quality Care Limited, one of the country's largest private hospital groups. Its business is service-led rather than drug-development-led, with revenues generated from inpatient and outpatient care, diagnostics, pharmacy, and related healthcare services.
