Speaking on the occasion Ms. Ameera Shah said, "I am highly privileged to receive the recognition and would like to thank my entire team for their dedication, hard work and continuous support towards making the vision come true. Unlike leaership positions in the organized sector being a woman entrepreneur is a very different and unique journey. Each time I am acknowledged with an award, I recall my modest days as an entrepreneur. Initial days of the enterprise where I did everything myself with little support from the small team I had managed t develop at that time. Getting experienced human resource was not possible for a small growing company. In the initial period neither did Metropolis had financial resources nor a brand name to attract talent. However, there are positives to all difficulties! Coming with background of overcoming the odds of an unorganized sector, team Metropolis is a bunch of self – starters who believes in knowledge oriented approach that has enabled our success. Today we are amongstthe largest diagnostic players, we take the onus of progressing at a fast pace and creating many more success stories in the future.
