Dr. Shafiq A. M., Co-Founder and CEO of TriLife Hospital, has been named CEO of the Year in Healthcare at the Spotlight Outlook Business Enterprise & Leadership Awards 2025, held recently in Bengaluru. This recognition is a fitting tribute to his visionary leadership, unwavering commitment to patient care, and the pioneering role he has played in building one of North Bengaluru’s most respected multispecialty hospitals.
In the dynamic and rapidly evolving landscape of North Bengaluru, TriLife Hospital has firmly established itself as a trusted healthcare provider. Now marking ten years of dedicated service, the hospital has grown from a modest initiative launched in 2015 into a full-fledged multispecialty institution known for clinical excellence, advanced infrastructure, and a compassionate, patient-first approach.
TriLife began with a clear mission: to make high-quality, ethical, and accessible healthcare available to the local community. Over the past decade, it has significantly expanded in both capability and capacity, housing state-of-the-art infrastructure, adopting cutting-edge medical technologies, and offering a wide spectrum of specialties — from Orthopaedics and Cardiology to Neurology and Emergency Medicine.
What sets Dr. Shafiq apart is his dual focus on technology and empathy. He has been instrumental in shaping the hospital’s core ethos — one that balances evidence-based medical practices with a deep sense of responsibility toward patients. Under his guidance, TriLife has consistently invested in talent and technology, while fostering a culture rooted in ethical practice and community engagement.
One of the standout aspects of TriLife’s service delivery is its Emergency Department, which reflects Dr. Shafiq’s strong emphasis on preparedness, responsiveness, and critical care excellence. Designed to handle complex trauma and acute medical emergencies 24/7, the department exemplifies the hospital’s high standards and reliability, especially under pressure.
Dr. Shafiq’s journey from the operating room to the boardroom is driven by a clear purpose: to create healthcare systems that improve outcomes while staying ethical and sustainable. At the helm of the TriLife Group, he has overseen its growth into a network that includes TriLife Hospital, Specmed Life Sciences, TriLife Pharmacy, and TriFoods—together employing more than 2,000 people across healthcare, retail, and wellness. His approach reflects a practical and focused vision of healthcare that balances medical expertise with business acumen, aiming to make quality care more accessible and effective.
Looking ahead, TriLife Hospital is focused on further expansion, integrating next-generation medical technologies, and attracting top-tier healthcare professionals. With a solid foundation built on patient trust and clinical quality, the hospital is well-positioned to grow in both reach and reputation.
As TriLife celebrates a decade of care, this prestigious recognition of Dr. Shafiq’s leadership is a timely reminder of the hospital’s journey — one driven by vision, discipline, and heart. His accolade as CEO of the Year not only honours past accomplishments but also signals a promising future for healthcare in North Bengaluru.
Dr. Shafiq’s focus goes beyond managing hospitals; he is actively engaged in pushing for broader reforms in India’s healthcare system. He has consistently called for expanding medical education, increasing the number of medical seats, and making low-interest financing more accessible for students pursuing careers in healthcare. These steps, he believes, are essential to addressing the country’s shortage of trained professionals and improving long-term access to quality care across regions.
