Even Healthcare launches first ESOP buyback worth $500K Managed care provider Even Healthcare announced its first-ever Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) buyback within three years, joining Indian startups using stock rewards to retain talent and boost employee wealth. Even announced a buyback worth $0.5 million for its employees at the primary valuation without any discount. According to the company, this ensures employees receive maximum earnings from their sale and do not face an โ€œESOP haircut.โ€ This buyback follows Even Healthcareโ€™s $30 million Series A funding round in October last year. โ€œAt Even Healthcare, we believe in creating long-term financial opportunities for our employees. This buyback is a testament to our commitment to ensuring everyone who contributes to Evenโ€™s growth benefits from it. We are proud to set a new benchmark in the industry and look forward to expanding our ESOP program further,โ€ said Matilde Giglio, co-founder of Even Healthcare. Founded in 2020 by Mayank Banerjee, Giglio, and Alessandro Ialongo, Even Healthcare offers its members free consultations, diagnostic tests, and cashless hospitalization through its in-house clinical team and insurance partners.

Bengaluru-based managed care provider Even Healthcare has raised $20 million in a fresh funding round led by existing investors Lachy Groom and Alpha Wave, with participation from Sharrp Ventures. The new round comes within 15 months for Even Healthcare which had raised $30 million in Series A funding round in October 2024. With this round, the companyโ€™s total funding has reached $70 million, while its valuation has more than doubled over the past year. The proceeds will be used to expand Even Healthcareโ€™s hospital footprint in Bengaluru and scale its managed-care hospital model. Founded in 2020, Even Healthcare operates a membership-based model combining primary care, diagnostics, and hospital services. Unlike traditional hospital systems, Evenโ€™s approach focuses on continuity of care and patient recovery rather than maximising admissions and length of stay. Care teams remain accountable across consultations, diagnostics, hospitalisation, and post-discharge recovery at home. Alongside the fundraise, Even said its first hospital achieved operating break-even within six months of launch. Since launching its first hospital in May 2025, Even claims to have tracked outcomes across its network, reporting no unplanned 30-day readmissions across more than 350 surgeries, zero post-operative infections in the cohort, and over 200 hospitalisations avoided through monitored home recovery. Average length of hospital stay was reported to be around 40% lower than comparable settings.
