"Women entrepreneurs in India can be a force to reckon with. Not only do they have the experience of building businesses in a challenging environment like India, but they also have the privilege of facing all positive or negative experiences and perceptions all Indian women encounter. This is a deadly combination."

Ameera Shah is the Managing Director and CEO of Metropolis Healthcare Ltd., a multinational chain of diagnostic centers. She has evolved Metropolis to become a fully integrated multinational chain of 105 diagnostic centers and 700 collection centers across the globe.

She has revolutionised the pathology industry from being a doctor-led practice to a professional corporate group in an extremely unregulated, competitive and fragmented market. Under her leadership, Metropolis has become the first to create a sustainable business model for pathology, and the first to implement global standards of quality in all its processes and systems.

She received a degree in Finance from The University of Texas at Austin and has also completed the prestigious Owner-President Management Program at Harvard Business School.

She was conferred with �The Young entrepreneur of the Year Award� by GE in 2006, �The Young Achiever of the Year Award� at the CMO Asia Awards in 2011 and �Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award� in 2011 organised by Entrepreneur India and Bloomberg.
