Moopen, whose father, Dr. Azad Moopen, founded Aster in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) after moving from India, finds the strengthening ties between these regions particularly meaningful.

His vision for strengthening ties between India and the Middle East, especially with nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, is truly empowering.

"As an organization founded by my father — Dr. Azad Moopen who came from India and built Aster in the GCC, witnessing this deepening relationship is humbling. The Prime Minister’s emphasis on peace, prosperity, and global collaboration resonated deeply with us, and we are excited to contribute meaningfully to the evolving healthcare ecosystem in Saudi Arabia and the region. This visit reaffirms the growing importance of India in global conversations, particularly in areas like healthcare, innovation, and economic development.”
