PB Fintech Ltd., the parent company of insurance brokerage giant Policybazaar, has announced a strategic investment of Rs 696 crore into its subsidiary, PB Healthcare Services Private Limited. The capital infusion, planned for the financial year 2025-26, aims to accelerate the subsidiary’s growth within the healthcare and allied services sector.

Incorporated in January 2025, PB Healthcare Services Private Ltd., operates in the healthcare and allied services domain, focusing on delivering innovative solutions. PB Fintech’s investment will be allocated toward covering operational expenses, enhancing brand awareness, expanding office presence, and executing strategic initiatives to strengthen the company’s market foothold.

“This investment underscores our commitment to expanding PB Healthcare’s operational capabilities and establishing a strong presence in the healthcare sector. By leveraging our financial strength and industry expertise, we aim to drive long-term innovation and sustainable growth,” PB Fintech stated in its regulatory filing.

Post-investment, PB Fintech will hold up to 33.63% equity in PB Healthcare on a fully diluted basis. Given that the transaction is classified as a related-party deal, it will be executed at a fair valuation determined by a registered valuer. To proceed, the investment requires shareholder approval, which will be sought via a postal ballot. The funding will be executed alongside contributions from external investors, including Chairman & CEO Yashish Dahiya, Executive Vice Chairman Alok Bansal, and few key managerial personnel.

PB Fintech confirmed that all regulatory approvals will be obtained by PB Healthcare as required. The transaction is expected to be completed within 90 days of receiving the necessary approvals. This move aligns with PB Fintech’s broader strategy of diversifying into the healthcare sector and capitalizing on emerging opportunities within the industry.

With the healthcare sector undergoing rapid transformation, PB Fintech’s investment signifies its intent to become a key player in healthcare services. The company aims to leverage its digital financial services expertise to introduce scalable healthcare solutions. This strategic move is expected to enhance PB Healthcare’s competitiveness and facilitate its expansion in India’s evolving healthcare ecosystem.
