Unaprime Healthcare has acquired an 84.5 percent stake in Pune-based Lokmanya Hospitals, known for its pioneering work in robotic surgery and orthopaedics, with an aim to transform it into a multi-speciality and quaternary care network. The acquisition involved a total investment of Rs 140 crore, including the purchase of Tata Healthcare Fund’s 43.5 percent stake and stakes from other shareholders.
Unaprime, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) promoted by Unaprime Investment Advisors—a healthcare-focused investment firm led by Deep Mishra—is backed by domestic family offices and healthcare veterans like Dr K. Ravindranath (Global Hospitals) and Manpreet Sohal. The firm plans an additional Rs 80–100 crore investment to scale Lokmanya’s operations.
Expansion plans include increasing bed capacity from 300 to 800 across four hospitals in Pune, and forming surgical partnerships in Mumbai and Kolhapur. Group CEO Manpreet Sohal noted the hospital's shift towards becoming a modern healthcare network catering to rising demand for advanced treatment modalities.
