Indian Healthcare Sector is Ripe for Private Equity Players

The Indian healthcare sector is expected to rank among the top three healthcare markets in the world and has been the most preferred destination for private equity funds in recent decades with a focus on hospitals, medical devices, manufacturing, etc.
India is fast becoming a favorite destination for private equity players due to the high economic growth, low-cost labor, and availability of opportunities in many untapped sectors. Moreover, the recent government moves to boost the ease of doing business like relaxation in FDI norms, strengthening of research and development (R&D) and intellectual property rights (IPR) regime, along with policies promoting the start-up culture, have inspired investments from equity funds in India. Quadria Capital, one of the top private equity funds in India, targets long-term capital appreciation through private equity growth capital investments in healthcare companies that have the potential to become a global leader in the healthcare sector. The fund’s investment plan is based on taking advantage of opportunities in the high-growth Indian healthcare sector over the next decade. Quadria Capital pursues an investment strategy based on high growth consumption and competency themes.
