Ankura Hospitals Plans ₹400-500 Crore Capital Raise with Alvarez & Marsal as Advisor
Ankura Hospitals is planning a ₹400-500 crore capital raise with Alvarez & Marsal as advisor, targeting growth stage investors and attracting strategic interest for minority stakes. The Hyderabad-based hospital chain, valued at ₹877 crore with FY24 revenue of ₹376 crore, may see existing investor InvAscent partially or fully exit its 7-year stake. This follows a ₹165 crore fundraise from ADB in March and reflects growing investor interest in India's expanding mother and child care market.

Founded in 2011 by Krishna Prasad Rao Vunnam, Ankura Hospitals began as a childcare provider and has evolved into a comprehensive hospital network specializing in pediatrics, maternity, and gynecology. The company currently operates with more than 600 doctors and over 1,500 patient beds across its facilities.
Growing Market Interest
The mother and child care segment in India has witnessed heightened investor interest from private equity and strategic players. Recent market activity includes Novo Holdings acquiring a 49% stake in Surya Hospitals, Kerala-based Sabine Hospital raising $50 million from investors including CX Partners, and Temasek's acquisition of Cloudnine Hospitals. KKR also invested in Kerala-based Baby Memorial Hospital in 2024.
Industry reports indicate India's overall healthcare sector was valued at $98.98 billion in 2023, with projections suggesting growth to $193.59 billion over the next six years. This growth is driven by rising population, greater healthcare awareness, policy support, and increased spending on medical services.
Company Response
Ankura Hospitals declined to comment on the fundraising speculation, stating that the company continues to pursue expansion plans aligned with its long-term strategy while maintaining focus on clinical quality and patient experience across all centers. Both InvAscent and Alvarez & Marsal have not provided detailed responses regarding the proposed transaction.
