Promoter & Director

Dr. Amit founded Shreeji in 1990 and is part of its Board of Directors. He began his career as a consulting Sonologist in 1987 but soon realized his desire to improve the quality and accessibility of medical diagnostics in India. Under Dr. Amit’s leadership and despite financial constraints, Shreeji procured the first CT scanner in a remote suburb of Mumbai in 1992 and an MRI in 1997 – transforming the entire suburban diagnostic market in Mumbai. It also pioneered the introduction of several revolutionary modalities such as India’s first multi-slice CT scanner and Asia’s first Cardiac CT scanner, among others.

Dr. Amit is also responsible for the Company’s successful venture into the PET cyclotron industry in 2007. His project execution skills were instrumental in setting up Shreeji’s IMT Manesar cyclotron facility in record 9 months.
