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”

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.

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.
