MedGenome has joined hands with Siddhi Diagnostics & Research Centre (SDRC), a well-established diagnostic imaging service provider with a strong presence across Mumbai’s extended western suburbs.
Founded in 1995, SDRC is led by Dr. Ajit Pungavkar and Dr. Sona Pungavkar. Dr. Ajit, 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 Pungavkar is a nationally recognized radiologist with about 30 years of clinical experience. A frequent speaker at both national and international conferences, she has published over 40 prestigious journal articles and received multiple awards in recognition of her contributions to the field.
Surajit Chakrabartty, CFO of MedGenome, said, “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.”
SDRC caters to a large and diverse patient base through a mix of walk-in services, home collections, and partnerships with hospitals and laboratories, all under one roof. Its strong reporting and analytical expertise have helped build long-standing clinical trust, particularly in regions beyond Greater Mumbai, where access to high-quality diagnostic infrastructure has traditionally been limited.
Dr Ajit 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 Pungavkar, 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.”
