Job Title

THIS IS A PAID BOARD MEMBER RECRUITMENT & EQUITY POSITION.About the Company:We are building a healthcare consolidation platform focused on acquiring and integrating small to mid-sized hospitals across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities in India. Our strategy combines disciplined acquisitions with operational integration to deliver high-quality, affordable secondary care at scale. We are targeting hospitals with 20 to 100 beds, ₹10–₹60 crore in annual revenue, and EBITDA margins between 12–18%. Over the next 12 to 18 months, we plan to acquire 6 to 8 hospitals in Maharashtra, adding 600 to 800 operational beds and generating consolidated revenues between ₹180 and ₹250 crore. These hospitals will be organized into regional clusters that share clinical protocols, procurement infrastructure, and administrative systems—driving cost efficiency and improving unit economics. The market is primed for consolidation. Over ₹1.5 trillion in hospital assets is expected to change hands in the next five to seven years, driven by succession gaps, promoter fatigue, and rising regulatory complexity. We will focus on clinically sound, family-owned hospitals in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities that face these constraints and are looking for liquidity, professionalization, and future upside. While strategics, large hospital chains, and private equity funds concentrate on urban, high-revenue assets, the ₹25–300 crore revenue segment remains structurally overlooked and ripe for platform roll-up. Our cluster model will build around a flagship hospital, supported by daycare, diagnostics, and home health. Each cluster will scale to 300–800 beds over 3–5 years, creating the density needed to centralize procurement, standardize clinical operations, and share infrastructure. The resulting efficiencies will improve unit economics, lower per-bed operating costs, and increase margins, while preserving asset-light flexibility. We will structure deals as strategic partnerships, offering promoters partial liquidity upfront while allowing them to roll over equity into HoldCo. Promoters will stay involved as board members or clinical advisors and help preserve institutional culture, staff trust, and continuity. Our team will manage day-to-day operations, relieve the promoter of operational burden, and ensure strategic alignment. As the platform scales and achieves stronger valuation multiples, promoters will benefit from a second monetisation event. Unlike aggregators or management-only platforms, we will acquire and directly operate every hospital. This will allow us to enforce consistent standards for care, pricing, staffing, and branding across every location. Experienced hospital CEOs and regional COOs will handle operational oversight, while our leadership team and board will manage capital allocation and strategic direction. Our target is to scale to ~5,000 operational beds through 70–80 acquisitions over the next 5 to 7 years. At scale, we expect EBITDA margin expansion and a valuation re-rating in line with listed peers, positioning the platform for an institutional sale or public listing.Role Summary:Lead the board as Non-Executive Chairman, driving governance, strategic oversight, capital raising, and acquisition approvals.
