Pristyn Care scales to 8 hospitals in 4 months
Medial

Pristyn Care has ramped up its hospital expansion strategy with the launch of three new digitally integrated hospitals in Gurgaon, Hyderabad, and Kochi, bringing its total number of owned facilities to eight, just four months after opening its first. This move also marks the startup’s entry into South India. Pristyn Care now operates a clinical footprint of 200,000 sq ft, comprising 400 beds, more than 20 modular operating theatres, over 50 ICU beds, and a team of over 550 medical professionals. The latest launch follows the company’s earlier announcement in February 2025, when it unveiled its first five hospitals within a span of just 75 days. That rapid rollout, focused around Delhi-NCR, was a significant pivot from Pristyn’s earlier asset-light model of partnering with hospitals to offering in-house surgical care. Now, with the addition of 90,000 sq ft across three cities, Pristyn is doubling down on its promise of accessible, seamless healthcare. Each new facility is being integrated with the company’s proprietary digital platform, which includes real-time clinical alerts, EMRs, express discharge tooling, and one-tap insurance approvals. “We are not starting from scratch; the technology is built and live. Our next task is to stitch it into each new hospital so patients experience shorter waits, clearer communication, and truly joined-up care," said Dr. Vaibhav Kapoor, Co-founder of Pristyn Care. Pristyn Care’s new hospitals bring tailored services to each city, Gurgaon boosts neonatal and women’s health; Hyderabad offers 24x7 trauma care and tech-led joint replacements; and Kochi adds emergency care with a riverside rehab wing for Kerala patients. Notably, Pristyn Care’s first hospital in Delhi hit double-digit profitability within eight weeks. With the strong performance metrics, the company is now targeting 50 hospitals by FY28, with upcoming launches in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune.

Vikas Khemani’s Carnelian invests $15 Mn in Kimirica Carnelian Asset Management LLP, led by market veteran Vikas Khemani, has invested around $15 million in luxury vegan self-care brand Kimirica. This partnership backs both wings of the business: Kimirica Hunter (KH), the manufacturer of hotel amenities, and Kimirica Lifestyle (KL), a D2C luxury beauty brand. The proceeds will be used to scale its omnichannel retail presence, and bring self-care experience to more consumers, Kimirica said in a press release. Launched in 2013 by Mohit, Rajat, Kimi, and Rica Jain, Kimirica began as a bootstrapped startup determined to disrupt an import-heavy industry where 90% of hotel toiletries came from China. A decade later, Kimirica has brought that number down to almost zero. Today, it exports to over 70 countries and partners with more than 10,000 luxury hotels and airlines, including Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Accor, Leela, and Air India. Kimirica has now expanded into the D2C retail space. A vegan, cruelty-free, and fair-trade-certified company, its portfolio covers skincare, body care, fine fragrances, luxury gifting, and home & wellness. Kimirica claims that it leads the gifting and bath & body segments, and sells products on Nykaa, Amazon, Tira, and quick commerce platforms. Its retail footprint is growing rapidly, with over 10 new experiential stores set to open across India and the Middle East. The brand continues to expand into high-growth categories: from fine fragrances to its latest men's grooming line, The Gentleman.
