Unaprime Acquires Lokmanya: A New Era for Healthcare

Unaprime Healthcare has acquired an 84.5% stake in Pune-based Lokmanya Hospitals, renowned for its leadership in robotic surgery and orthopaedics, as part of its vision to transform the institution into a multi-speciality, quaternary care network. The transaction, valued at ₹140 crore, includes the purchase of Tata Healthcare Fund’s 43.5% stake along with shares from other existing investors.

The acquisition was executed by Unaprime, a special purpose vehicle promoted by Unaprime Investment Advisors, a healthcare-focused investment firm led by Deep Mishra. The platform is backed by prominent domestic family offices and industry veterans such as Dr. K. Ravindranath (founder, Global Hospitals) and Manpreet Sohal, who now serves as Group CEO.

Unaprime plans to invest an additional ₹80–100 crore to scale Lokmanya’s operations. Key expansion initiatives include increasing bed capacity from 300 to 800 across four hospitals in Pune, as well as establishing surgical partnerships in Mumbai and Kolhapur.

“Our focus is to evolve Lokmanya into a next-generation healthcare network that addresses the growing demand for advanced treatment modalities,” said Group CEO Manpreet Sohal.

This strategic move underscores the growing interest in India's tertiary and quaternary care segments and highlights Unaprime’s commitment to building a future-ready healthcare platform.
