outlines, “Total value of healthcare real estate already built is of over USD120 billion with less than 5
– 7% operating under asset light model. Further USD 200+ billion is expected to be spent on
development of healthcare infrastructure for India to come to the international norms in terms of real
estate to get to Indian Government’s target of 3 beds per 1,000 people by 2025. Our fund expects to
