With a pipeline constructed from more than 75% proprietary deal flow, HealthKois is using extensive operational expertise and industry-specific networks to drive both solid financial returns and beneficial societal impacts.
The fund follows a founder-first, hands-on investment strategy, providing strategic guidance and international access across Asia and Europe. Assistance ranges from go-to-market strategy and governance to organizational structure and operational strategy.
“We are more than capital partners,” said Ajay Mahipal, Partner. “We work alongside founders to unlock full potential bringing strategic clarity, cross-border resources, and deep domain insights. Our focus is to empower startups that not only innovate but also build resilient healthcare infrastructure in India and LMICs.”
"True healthcare disruption is guided by compassion, proof, and implementation," said Dr. Pinak Shrikhande, Partner. "We invest in innovative ideas with clear real-world clinical and operational value. It's not about intention it's about results."
With a keen focus on scalable innovation and system impact, HealthKois will become a catalyst for next-generation healthcare innovations where mission meets performance, and capital meets compassion.
