Max Healthcare’s diagnostics arm, Max Lab, has announced its foray into Bengaluru, marking a pivotal step in its mission to enhance diagnostic access across India. This expansion comes through a strategic collaboration with Stepcare, a specialty-driven healthcare provider in the city. Max Lab will operate from Stepcare’s state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure, ensuring access to high-quality diagnostic services for the city’s residents.
The partnership is designed to meet the rising demand for advanced diagnostics in urban centers. By integrating cutting-edge laboratory technology with clinician-led care, it aims to provide a seamless, end-to-end healthcare experience—from testing to diagnosis to treatment guidance by primary and specialty physicians.
Max Lab will introduce its comprehensive test portfolio in Bengaluru, ranging from routine blood tests to advanced genomic and oncology diagnostics, backed by rigorous quality assurance protocols. These services are set to support healthcare providers with accurate, timely insights to guide patient care across the continuum of health.
Arpan Malhotra, Director and COO of Max Lab, commented, “We are excited to bring Max Lab's advanced diagnostic services to Bengaluru. With over 70% of medical decisions influenced by diagnostics, timely and accurate reports are vital for effective care delivery. As awareness of preventive health and chronic disease management grows, so does the need for trusted testing services. At Max Lab, we are committed to delivering the right report, at the right time, every time.”
Parveen K Sikka, Chairman and Managing Director of Stepcare, added, “Our collaboration with Max Lab is a significant milestone in Stepcare’s journey to offer integrated, high-quality healthcare through our specialty-led clinics. Together, we’re creating a guided and coordinated care experience powered by Max Lab’s national expertise in diagnostics and our patient-first clinical model. We believe this partnership will redefine healthcare access for Bengaluru residents.”
