  • A Complete Story of Dr Agarwals

A Complete Story of Dr Agarwals

How we began

In the 1950s, an eye doctor couple from a medical college in Jaipur happened to visit their parents in an ashram in Pondicherry in Southern India. While crossing the metropolitan city of Madras with about a hundred rupees in their pockets, they were enamoured by the city’s grace and decided to make it their home.

Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital was thus founded by Late Dr. Jaiveer Agarwal (Recipient of the Padma Bhushan award) and his wife Dr. Tahira Agarwal in Chennai, India, in 1957.

Over the last six decades, the group has grown into one of the largest network of eye-care centers in India & Africa, known for clinical innovations and an unparalleled customer experience.

Where we are

Dr Agarwals Eye Hospitals are present in 13 States & 3 Union Territories in India - Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Gujarat, Haryana, Chandigarh, Andaman and Pondicherry. The flagship center at Chennai continues to be one of the best eye-care institutions in the world, serving people worldwide. The Chennai Main Hospital runs research and academic programs, giving doctors opportunities to learn from some of the most experienced set of surgeons.

The international expansion for the group started in Mauritius with just one hospital, but today Dr Agarwals Eye Hospitals is present across 9 countries in Africa. We offer world class eye care to our customers from Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Mozambique in addition to Mauritius.

Where we are going

Over the last five years, Dr Agarwals Eye Hospitals has expanded rapidly into new geographies and new countries – both through greenfield ventures as well as mergers & acquisitions. Backed by a strong management team, marquee investors and the vision of the founders and the promoters, we continue to innovate with newer services and enhanced customer experience at all our centres.
