“Our focus is to invest in market segments that are underserved and where our investment can result in a social impact while providing economic returns,” he added.
The company was advised by ICICI Securities and AZB & Partners for this investment.
Founded in 2005, ASG Hospitals is backed by Sequoia Capital and Investcorp. It has treated over 5 million patients since inception across its 33 centres in India, Africa and Nepal.
