About Me

Shamsheer Vayalil is founder and chairman of Burjeel Holdings, a network of hospitals, clinics and pharmacies in the Middle East. His net worth got a boost from the 2022 listing of Burjeel Holdings, which has used Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as its brand ambassador. Born into a business family in Kerala state, he migrated to the Middle East after his medical studies and worked as a radiologist at a local hospital. Backed initially by his father-in-law, Gulf retailing billionaire M.A. Yusuff Ali, Vayalil started with one hospital in Abu Dhabi in 2007. Burjeel now has 19 hospitals and 29 medical centres. Vayalil was vice chairman of investment firm Amanat Holdings until 2022. He remains chairman of listed Response Plus Holdings, a provider of medical services.
