This partnership will invest in innovative opportunities in India, Africa and South Asia. The platform will target 'out-of-hospital' care services companies, like diagnostics and home-care services.
"Increasingly the customer would prefer availing such services closer to home. (The selected teams) would typically be companies which have established a good reputation for providing high quality service in a region or have a unique product-service offering," said Ranjan Pai, CEO of MEMG. "Ideally, we will prefer to provide individual investment above USD10 mn per transaction."
