Abstract : We report the detection of eleven Gamma-Ray pulsars from the Fermi-LAT catalog in the energy range 60-500 keV using the CZT Imager instrument on board AstroSat.  This instrument operates as a nearly open all-sky detector at such high energies, making possible long integrations irrespective of spacecraft pointing.  We use timing solutions provided by the Fermi mission to coherently phase-fold the CZTI data, using a custom algorithm developed by us.  Our detections include the fastest spinning (707-Hz) millisecond pulsar in the Galactic Disc, PSR J0952-0607.
