In the heart of Pune’s Hadapsar stands a healthcare institution that blends tradition with technology, compassion with cutting-edge care, and legacy with innovation—Noble Hospitals & Research Centre.
Founded in 2007 by Dr. Dileep Mane, a physician who turned frustration with systemic gaps into a mission, Noble began as a promise: no patient should lose their life for want of timely, quality care. What started as a 350-bed hospital is today a quaternary care leader, shaping Pune’s healthcare skyline and increasingly, its global reputation.
The Genesis of a Movement
Back in the mid-2000s, South East Pune was underserved by tertiary care. Patients traveled long, perilous routes to reach advanced hospitals. Many didn’t make it. For Dr. Dileep, this wasn’t a statistic—it was a human tragedy he witnessed daily.
“Healthcare should not depend on geography or privilege,” he recalls. With this conviction, Noble Hospitals was born—not just as an institution, but as a movement for accessible, transparent, and compassionate healthcare.
Two Generations, One Mission
Today, Noble’s story is powered by two generations of leaders.
-
Dr. Dileep, the architect of the vision, embodies wisdom, resilience, and patient-first values.
-
Dr. Divij Mane, his son, brings fresh dynamism, global outlook, and a tech-driven approach.
Together, they represent continuity and progress. One built the foundation. The other is building the future.
“My father created a hospital when there was none,” says Dr. Divij. “My role is to ensure that it remains relevant for tomorrow—sustainable, technologically advanced, and globally competitive.”
Defining Firsts
Noble Hospitals has consistently set benchmarks in Pune and Maharashtra:
-
First NABH-accredited hospital in South East Pune
-
First tertiary hospital in Pune with JCI accreditation
-
First in Pune to install a 3 Tesla MRI scanner
-
First in Maharashtra to adopt Made-in-India robotic surgery (SSI Mantra 3)
-
Among the youngest hospitals to have Green-certified operation theatres and ICU
Each “first” reflects not competition, but a commitment to push boundaries for patients’ sake.
Technology with a Heart
At Noble, technology isn’t an end—it’s an enabler. Robotic surgeries, AI-powered diagnostics, and advanced imaging tools deliver precision, while a philosophy of transparency and affordability ensures care remains accessible.
The SSI Mantra 3 robotic surgery system is a case in point: a homegrown innovation that brings global-standard precision to Indian patients, while being cost-conscious. For patients, it means faster recovery, fewer complications, and renewed hope.
The Patient-Centric Ethos
What distinguishes Noble is not just infrastructure—it’s an ethos. The tagline, “Life is Precious. We Care for It,” is not marketing—it is culture.
Patients are not cases, they are people. Billing is transparent. Doctors and nurses are encouraged to communicate with empathy. Sustainability is pursued so healthcare remains a promise for future generations, not a burden.
Beyond the Walls: Noble’s Community Pulse
Noble extends care beyond hospital doors—through wellness programs, health awareness campaigns, and preventive care drives in the community. Its focus on medical tourism is not merely economic; it positions Pune as a global healthcare destination while bringing world-class care within reach of Indian patients.
The Road Ahead
The journey is far from over. Noble is scaling toward a 1,000-bed capacity, eyeing greenfield facilities, and investing in global collaborations and research. The vision is to make Noble not just Pune’s pride, but India’s North Star of healthcare.
“The future belongs to leaders who embrace change without losing compassion,” says Dr. Divij. “For us, technology and innovation will always be grounded in empathy.”
Noble Hospitals: A Legacy in Motion
From a single idea in 2007 to a thriving hub of excellence today, Noble Hospitals is more than an institution—it’s a living legacy, proving that healthcare in India can be world-class, affordable, and humane.
It is not just about treating illness, but about restoring dignity, preserving life, and redefining what hospitals mean to people.
And as two generations of visionaries—Dr. Dileep and Dr. Divij—steer it forward, Noble is set to remain true to its name: noble in intent, noble in care, and noble in vision.
