PB Healthcare Services, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of PB Fintech Limited, is raising Rs 1,461 crore (approximately $171 million) as part of the first tranche of its seed round. Of the total amount, Rs 539.4 crore has already been infused by PB Fintech Limited, while the remaining capital will be contributed by external investors, according to disclosures filed with the National Stock Exchange (NSE). For context, PB Fintech had earlier passed a resolution to invest up to Rs 696 crore through the purchase of equity shares or preference shares of PB Healthcare Services Private Limited in FY26. As part of the current round, it has already invested Rs 539.4 crore, with the remaining amount yet to be deployed. As per the filings, PB Fintechโs stake in PB Healthcare Services has dropped from 100% to 32.14% following the participation of external investors in the seed round. Previously a wholly-owned subsidiary, PB Healthcare has also created an ESOP pool to attract and retain key talent. The capital infusion is aimed at strengthening the companyโs financial position and supporting its growth plans. โThe dilution in shareholding is a strategic decision to bring in external investors and create an ESOP pool to attract and retain talent,โ the company noted in its filing. Founded in January 2025, PB Healthcare Services set out with an ambitious goal of establishing hospitals with a cumulative capacity of 1,000 beds within its first year. The company plans to launch operations in the National Capital Region (NCR), with a phased expansion into other major metro cities.
