About

Managing the legal matters of a healthcare company with operations across eight countries is not a small task, and one that requires the management skills of an exceptional general counsel. Ajith Madhavan has been head of legal at Dubai-headquartered Aster DM Healthcare since 2010, when he joined the group to create an in-house legal department, rationalise documentation and reorganise external legal services. When Madhavan arrived just before Aster DM Healthcare entered into a period of rapid international expansion. At the time the company had 50 operational units in three GCC states; now the group has almost 320 across nine countries in the Middle East and Asia. According to CEO Alisha Moopen, the expansion is set to continue: as well as operating hospitals, diagnostic centers, medical centers, and pharmacies in the Middle East, India and The Philippines, Aster DM Healthcare is looking to expand into Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia and elsewhere in Africa. This increasing internationalistion of the company, as well as a forthcoming 2018 IPO in Mumbai or London, will test Madhavan’s 19 years’ experience of corporate law. Madhavan’s impressive support during such a rapid expansion, and in a notoriously highly-regulated sector, have led to wide-spread praise for his work. One external lawyer commented on his ‘outstanding work ethic’, his ability to ‘pay a lot of attention to details’, and his ‘excellent understanding of respective local laws and legal practices’. Before joining Aster DM Healthcare, Madhavan was legal manager at Concept Group in Dubai, was a legal consultant at Dar Al Adalah Advocates, and was an advocate in the High Court of Kerala in India.
