HealthKois, India’s latest healthcare-focused investment platform, has officially launched with a target corpus of $300 million, plus a $100 million green shoe option, setting the stage for large-scale transformation in the healthcare ecosystem. Formed by the leadership team behind HealthQuad—Charles Janssen, Ajay Mahipal, and Dr. Pinak Shrikhande—HealthKois aims to fund early growth-stage ventures that blend innovation, scale, and impact.
What is HealthKois?
HealthKois is a successor fund to HealthQuad, but with a sharper focus on technology-led, high-impact ventures across:
- Healthtech
- Life Sciences
- Medtech
- Healthcare Delivery
- Climate Health
Over the next four years, the fund plans to invest $7M–$25M per company, backing scalable startups with measurable clinical outcomes, robust operational models, and infrastructure resilience.
Mission & Philosophy
“We invest in ventures that revolutionize healthcare delivery while strengthening infrastructure resilience in India and LMIC markets,” said Ajay Mahipal, Partner.
“Transformation doesn’t happen in silos—it requires a blend of clinical insight, practical know-how, and conviction,” added Dr. Pinak Shrikhande.
Founder-First, Hands-On Model
HealthKois takes a collaborative approach, positioning itself not just as a capital provider but as a strategic co-builder:
- Access to 75% proprietary deal flow
- Deep support in go-to-market, org design, and governance
- Active network across Asia and Europe
“HealthKois is about backing bold ideas with real-world impact,” said Charles Janssen, Managing Partner. “We’re enabling innovations that close critical gaps in affordability, access, and quality of care.”
Why This Matters
- Fills Healthcare Gaps: Many Indian startups in healthtech struggle to access patient capital with deep sector understanding—HealthKois bridges that gap.
- Focus on Outcomes: Emphasizes clinical impact and sustainability, not just growth at all costs.
- Emerging Market Ready: Targets India and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), aligning with global health equity goals.
