Biography
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.
