Perspective
The company was founded in 1995 by brothers Shivinder Mohan Singh and Malvinder Mohan Singh as Specialty Ranbaxy Limited (SRL), a 50:50 joint venture between Ranbaxy Laboratories and US-based Specialty Laboratories.[5][6] It became the first pathology company in India to receive accreditation from National Accreditation Board.[7]
In 2001, SRL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ranbaxy Laboratories after Ranbaxy bought out Specialty Laboratories' stake; the company was subsequently renamed SRL Ranbaxy.[8]
In 2008, SRL Ranbaxy was renamed as Super Religare Laboratories.[9]
In 2010, Super Religare Laboratories acquired Piramal Diagnostic Services and its network of 107 laboratories from Piramal Healthcare for ₹600 crore.[10]
In 2011, Fortis Healthcare completed the acquisition of 74.59% stake in Super Religare Laboratories.[11] After being acquired by Fortis, the company rebranded itself as SRL Diagnostics.[12]
In 2021, SRL Diagnostics acquired the remaining stake in its Kerala-based joint venture, DDRC, for ₹350 crore. With the addition of DDRC's 220 labs to its lab network, SRL became the biggest pathology lab chain in India with a total of 430 labs.[13]
In 2023, SRL Diagnostics changed its name to Agilus Diagnostics.[14]
