The company was founded in 1995 by brothers Shivinder Mohan Singh and Malvinder Mohan Singh as SRL Ranbaxy, a division of Ranbaxy Laboratories.[5] It became the first pathology company in India to receive accreditation from National Accreditation Board.[6]

In 2008, SRL Ranbaxy was renamed as Super Religare Laboratories.[7]

In 2010, SRL acquired Piramal Diagnostic Services and its network of 107 laboratories from Piramal Healthcare for ₹600 crore.[8]
