Another Day, Another PE looking to acquire stake in a hospital chain
This is alarming for sure
In the US -
As of 2025, 488 US hospitals were owned by private equity firms. That represents approximately 8.5% of all private hospitals in the U.S. and about 22–25% of all for-profit hospitals
In India -
PE ownership is highly concentrated in the organized corporate hospital sector, where many of the largest chains have PE, sovereign wealth fund, pension fund, or global institutional ownership:
Cloudnine – Temasek, TPG, Newquest; now another PE transaction is underway.
CARE Hospitals – Blackstone-backed.
Manipal Hospitals – Temasek-controlled.
HCG – CVC Capital-backed.
Sahyadri Hospitals – institutional ownership.
Ujala Cygnus, Sterling, KIMS Kerala, and several others have PE involvement.
The key distinction is:
In the U.S., PE ownership has penetrated thousands of healthcare assets and nearly a quarter of the for-profit hospital sector.
In India, PE ownership is still a relatively small percentage of the total hospital universe (India has tens of thousands of hospitals), but it is becoming increasingly dominant among the large corporate
I had met the management of a listed hospital at the Motilal conference, and they mentioned how US doctors are overworked, as PE-owned hospitals encourage them to perform more surgeries, unnecessary procedures, and medications to maximize sales and profits.
They run it like a business and not a hospital!

🚨 HUGE: What if delimitation is delayed? Here’s the impact.
If no action is taken, Articles 81, 82 & 330A will automatically kick in after the next Census.
=> The existing 543 Lok Sabha seats will be REDISTRIBUTED purely on population basis 🤯
Example 👇
— Kerala could drop from 20 to ~14 seats (projected 2027 population basis)
Big takeaway: Delay doesn’t freeze status quo, it triggers automatic redistribution.
Excellent take by BJP MP Tejasvi Surya. Must Watch 👏🏼
One day, a man went to a bank to withdraw money. He filled out a form for ₹1,40,000 and gave it to the cashier. The cashier counted the money and handed it to him.
The man took the money and put it in his bag without counting it. But he had already noticed that the cashier had made a mistake. Instead of ₹1,40,000, he had received ₹1,60,000.
He walked away quietly, pretending he didn’t notice anything. Soon, he started feeling uncomfortable. He thought, “Should I return the extra ₹20,000?” But another thought came, “When I make mistakes, no one returns my money.”
His mind and heart kept arguing. One moment he wanted to return the money, the next moment he wanted to keep it. But deep inside, his conscience told him, “Is it right to take advantage of someone’s mistake?”
He felt more and more restless. Finally, he took ₹20,000 out of his bag, put it in his pocket, and decided to go back to the bank.
As he walked back, he felt lighter and happier, like a big burden had been lifted. When he reached the bank, he returned the money to the cashier.
The cashier felt very relieved. He offered him ₹1,000 as a reward and said, “Thank you. Please buy sweets for your children.”
The man smiled and said, “No, thank you. I am the one who is grateful.”
The cashier asked, “Why?”
The man replied, “Your mistake gave me a chance to test myself. Today, I learned to control my greed. That is my biggest reward. There is no greater reward than honesty.”
This guy actually started a revolutionary movement that made people aware of reading labels and checking what they consume daily. Today, if we are protesting against FSSAI, it’s because he helped us understand what’s right for us.
