ABOUT THIS BOOK

In 1981, a young Sushil Shah fostered a vision far bigger than anyone could ever imagine. Having returned from the US after completing his fellowship at Cornell University, he set out to fulfil his dream of creating one of the biggest diagnostic labs in India. Today, Metropolis Healthcare Limited boasts a widespread network of outlets spread across 20 states in India and also in seven countries across the world. Under his inspiring leadership, Metropolis has gained a strong foothold in both national and international markets.
Dare to Make a Change is the biography of Dr Sushil Shah, the founder and chairman of Metropolis Healthcare Limited. His vision and zeal to be the best and to serve relentlessly in the healthcare industry led him to undertake a mammoth challenge. He has overcome several obstacles to become a market leader in the pathology sector. With his younger daughter, MD and CEO Ameera Shah currently ensconced at the helm, Metropolis has reached greater heights.
Author Maya Bathija takes us on Dr Shah’s journey, giving us a sneak peek into his life and the
vision and foresight that made Metropolis possible.
Dare to Make a Change offers an in-depth account of the man behind Metropolis, and his struggle to reach the top while maintaining honesty and integrity.
