MedGenome has joined hands with Siddhi Diagnostics & Research Centre (SDRC). This marks a strategic step in strengthening MedGenome’s presence in the region, while expanding access to advanced, integrated diagnostics across suburban belts.
Founded in 1995, SDRC is led by Dr Ajit Pungavkar and Dr Sona Pungavkar. Dr Pungavkar, a renowned sonologist with over 35 years of clinical experience, has devoted his time and expertise to advancing the imaging-led diagnostic services in this region. Dr Sona is a nationally recognised radiologist with about 30 years of clinical experience.
Under their leadership, SDRC has built over 30 years of clinical expertise in diagnostic imaging and a strong reputation for delivering high-quality services, including MRI, CT, X-ray, Sonography, Mammography, Interventions, Cardiac investigations, HSG, OPG, and BMD. The network operates five centres across Nalasopara (East and West), Vasai, Virar and Thane.
Commenting on the development, Surajit Chakrabartty, CFO, MedGenome, said, “This reiterates MedGenome’s commitment to offering affordable early and accurate diagnostics and building an integrated diagnostics ecosystem in India. By bringing together MedGenome’s strengths in genomics with SDRC’s established imaging capabilities, we can move closer to delivering a more complete view of a disease combining structural and molecular insights to support earlier and more precise clinical decisions. Importantly, SDRC’s strong presence in the extended Mumbai region enables us to integrate genomics into everyday clinical practice in high-growth suburban markets, where the need for quality diagnostic solutions continues to grow.”
Dr Pungavkar, Founder, SDRC, said, “In clinical practice, we often see cases where imaging alone does not provide the full picture, especially in complex or early-stage conditions. Through this partnership with MedGenome, we are now able to complement imaging findings with deeper molecular insights, which can significantly improve how clinicians interpret and act on diagnostic information. This brings a meaningful shift in how diagnostics are used—not just in identifying disease, but in guiding more precise and timely treatment decisions.”
Dr Sona, Co-founder and Medical Director, SDRC, said, “As diagnostics continues to evolve, the ability to integrate different layers of information becomes increasingly important. With the advancements in AI, today we are able to analyse the results of every evaluation holistically. Over time, this approach will help make advanced diagnostics more seamlessly integrated into routine care, improving both accessibility and the overall quality of clinical decision-making.”
