Dubai-based TVM Capital MENA plans to invest USD 100 million (about Rs 620 crore) in the country's healthcare segment in the next 3-5 years.
"We are currently looking at the Indian healthcare market in greater detail and based on early indications we expect to invest no less than USD 100 million in the next 3-5 year," Helmut M Schuhsler, the Chairman and Chief Executive of TVM Capital MENA, said here.
In India, the PE firm made the first investment in Bourn Hall India, a infertility treatment chain, three years ago. It has invested USD 30 million so far in India, Bourn Hall India CEO Gaurav Malhotra said.
"Bourn Hall India has been our first engagement in India and we have recently started to look more actively into other exciting healthcare opportunity," he said.
The focus of the firm is to invest in single speciality treatment rather than general hospital, Schuhsler said, adding that the company is exploring opportunities for investment.
"At the same time, there are increasing number of healthcare entrepreneurs from India who are proactively approaching us for financing their growing business," he said.
The firm not only invests equity capital in companies, but also develops business and growth concepts. It is focused on investments in the healthcare markets of the Middle East, North Africa (MENA) and India.
