Healthtech unicorn Pristyn Care, with its asset-light, tech-enabled surgical network, is making a big shift from a partnership model to hospital ownership model and is looking to go public by FY 2027-28 (FY28. Founded in 2018 by Dr. Vaibhav Kapoor, Harsimarbir (Harsh) Singh and Dr. Garima Sawhney, the company is all set to change its business trajectory with big infrastructure investments and operational targets.

From Asset-Light to Ownership: Business Model Shift

Pristyn Care had been operating by partnering with existing hospitals across India, leveraging its in-house surgical expertise, proprietary technology and patient management systems. 80,000 to 90,000 surgeries were being conducted every year using Pristyn’s own doctors and equipment while partner hospitals provided operation theatres and infrastructure.

But in a big strategic move, Pristyn has started direct hospital ownership, which is a shift to vertical integration. The company has launched three new hospitals – two in Delhi (Safdarjung Enclave and Malviya Nagar) and one in Gurugram – in just 75 days and now has five owned hospitals.

These facilities have modular operating theatres, critical care units, specialised diagnostic labs, IVF laboratories, and dermatology suites to build an integrated patient centric healthcare ecosystem.

Aggressive Expansion: 50 Hospitals by FY28

Pristyn Care has a aggressive expansion plan. By March 2026, the company plans to launch 17 more hospitals, all 50-60 bed super speciality hospitals focused on secondary care surgeries – kidney stones, gall bladder, hernias and more.

In total Pristyn plans to open 50 hospitals across India in next 3 years with target cities being Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Patna, Chandigarh and Coimbatore.

To support this expansion Pristyn will hire over 3,500 healthcare professi
