SeaLink Capital Invests Rs 200 Cr In a Healthcare Firm
The mid-market investment company called SeaLink Capital Partners has invested Rs 200 crore in a women and children healthcare firm known as Surya Children’s Medicare Pvt. Ltd.
The transaction included an investment of growth capital into Surya and a purchase of the stake held by the company’s first external healthcare investor OrbiMed.
A few months ago, in April it was reported that SeaLink was in advanced stage of investing in Surya Medicare. On the other hand, Surya had also raised Rs 54 crore from OrbiMed against the sale of a minority stake in September 2013.
In our country, there is a considerable undersupply of paediatric hospital beds and other medicare facilities. And the need for both preventive and curative paediatric care is a necessary thing.
