Neuberg Diagnostics and Star Imaging Announce Strategic Joint Venture to Form

Maharashtra’s Largest Integrated Diagnostics Network

Pune, Maharashtra, 20 th May, 2025: Neuberg Diagnostics, one of India’s fastest-growing
diagnostic chains has announced a strategic joint venture with Star Imaging, a leader in
advanced medical imaging to expand integrated diagnostics centres combining advanced
Pathology and advanced Radiology across Maharashtra.
For over 13 years, Star Imaging has pioneered the introduction of next-generation radiology
technologies in Pune. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Ashish Atre, a globally acclaimed
radiologist, alongside a team of highly skilled, organ-specific radiologists has become a trusted
name for high-end imaging services. Star Imaging currently operates state-of-the-art, fully
integrated diagnostic centers across Deccan, Bund garden road, Wakad and Baner in Pune and
in Akluj.
Dr. Ashish Atre, Director & Chief Radiologist, Star Imaging, said “This Joint Venture marks a
transformative milestone not just for our organizations, but for the entire diagnostic landscape
of Maharashtra. By bringing together the clinical excellence under one roof, we are creating a
powerful and unified platform that will set new standards in healthcare diagnostics. Our goal is
to provide patients and clinicians with fast, accurate, and integrated diagnostic insights that
enable early detection, precise treatment decisions, and better health outcomes. We are excited
about the opportunity to scale this model across Maharashtra and bring advanced diagnostics
closer to the people who need it most.”
Dr. GSK Velu, Chairman and Managing Director of Neuberg Diagnostics, said “At Neuberg
Diagnostics, our mission has always been to make world-class diagnostic services accessible and
affordable to every individual, regardless of geography. This joint venture with Star Imaging is a
strategic step toward achieving that goal in Maharashtra. By combining our strengths in
pathology, radiology, wellness, and genomics, we are building one of the most comprehensive
and technologically advanced diagnostic networks in the state. This partnership allows us to
serve clinicians with deeper diagnostic insights and deliver better outcomes for patients. We see
Maharashtra as a key market for growth and innovation, and this collaboration lays a strong
foundation for long-term investment, infrastructure expansion, and the democratization of high-
quality healthcare diagnostics. As part of the expansion strategy, we plan to launch new
integrated diagnostic centers across Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, and other key cities in
Maharashtra over the next two years”
In India, the growing burden of chronic diseases, rising demand for preventive healthcare, and
the increasing complexity of clinical decision-making have created a strong need for integrated
diagnostic services. Traditionally, radiology and pathology have operated in silos, often leading
to fragmented information and delayed diagnoses. By bringing multiple diagnostic modalities

radiology, pathology, wellness, and genomics under one roof, integrated diagnostics enhances
accuracy, speeds up diagnosis, and enables more informed and timely treatment decisions. This
model is particularly vital in India’s healthcare landscape, where early intervention can
significantly reduce disease burden and improve patient outcomes. The Neuberg Diagnostics
and Star Imaging partnership directly addresses this gap by offering a unified, patient-centric
approach to diagnostics.
With Neuberg Diagnostic’s subsidiary, in association with Dr. Ajit Golwilkar’s family, A.G
Diagnostics is the market leader in the pathology in Pune and the rest of Maharashtra. Similarly,
Star Imaging is the market leader in the radiology segment in Pune. By bringing both these
reputed high end brands under one umbrella, Neuberg Diagnostics positions itself to become
the largest and most reputed Integrated Diagnostics group in Pune & rest of Maharashtra.
Through its joint ventures with Dr. Awanti Golwilkar, Dr. Vinanti Golwilkar, Dr. Ajay Shah, Dr.
Kunal Sehgal, along with the OncoPath Centre of Excellence in collaboration with Dr. Jay Mehta,
Neuberg has established a significant presence in the pathology segment within Pune and the
Greater Mumbai regions.
