KIMS Hospitals Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMSHospitals), a leading multi-disciplinary provider of healthcare services in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, has sold minority stake to leading global growth equity firm General Atlantic.

In an official statement, the KIMS on Wednesday announced that it received a strategic growth investment from General Atlantic, with the equity firm making the investment of $ 130 million, in a combination of primary capital and secondary purchases, to acquire a significant minority stake in the company.

“We are thrilled to partner with General Atlantic as we embark on our next phase of growth to strengthen our presence in underserved geographies. Given General Atlantic’s deep experience of investing in healthcare globally and its network of relationships across leading global healthcare institutions, we are confident that his new association will help KIMS Hospitals deliver on its goal of bringing quality medical care, modern medical facilities, and services within the reach of the common man,” said Bhaskar Rao, MD and CEO of KIMS Hospitals.

Established in 2004 by Dr Bhaskar Rao, the KIMS Hospitals has grown to become one of the largest corporate healthcare groups in southern India. It has seven multi-specialty hospitals across the region and a capacity of over 2,500 beds.

“The combination of an acute shortage in quality healthcare infrastructure and a strong focus from the government to make quality healthcare more accessible, has created compelling secular tailwinds to drive growth for high-quality corporate hospital networks. We believe KIMS Hospitals is uniquely positioned to benefit from these trends,” said Sandeep Naik, Managing Director and Head of India and Asia-Pacific at General Atlantic.

General Atlantic has been active in India since 1999. Its focus area of investment is healthcare, technology, consumer, and financial services.
