In October 2022, other investors Quadria Capital and ChrysCapital also showed interest to invest in the Sri Kavery Medical Care-run hospital.

The hospital chain secured $17m (Rs1.4bn) from the existing investor Lightrock, in September 2019.

One of the two people was quoted by the news publication as saying: “IIFL is about to close the deal with Kauvery for a minority stake. The deal will likely be announced in a few days.

“It is likely to be a mix of a primary and secondary share sale, with the existing investor of the hospital chain Lightrock (previously known as LGT Lightstone Aspada) selling part of its shares in the company. The primary part of the funds raised will be used to expand the business.”
