About Us

Animal Health Pathology Lab is a premier veterinary diagnostic and research organization headquartered in Kolkata, committed to raising the standard of animal healthcare through precision diagnostics and advanced clinical research. Operating state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities across key hubs in Kolkata, we partner closely with veterinary hospitals, institutional clients (such as the Alipore Zoo), and pet practitioners. To support our multi-region growth and operational expansion, we are seeking a seasoned, versatile Senior HR & Administrative Leader who possesses deep cross-functional expertise spanning financial management, corporate legal oversight, and strategic business alliances.

You will work directly with executive management to streamline fiscal controls, manage commercial and property lease contracts, drive strategic institutional partnerships, and cultivate a high-performance workforce across our diagnostic network.
