Somerset’s Mumbai office <\/p>\n
Private equity firm Somerset Indus Capital Partners has exceeded the $250 million (around Rs 2,125 crore) target in the final close of its third healthcare-focussed fund as it explores new opportunities and themes in the sector<\/p>\n
The Mumbai-based firm announced that it has raised around $288 million, marking an “oversubscription”, backed by both existing and new limited partners<\/a> (LPs).\u00a0<\/p>\n Somerset said the fund saw strong participation from global institutional investors, including development finance institutions (DFIs), investment firms, domestic financial institutions, insurance companies, funds of funds, family offices, and impact investors across Europe, the US, and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n With Fund III, it plans to focus on India’s “missing middle”, targeting healthcare access gaps in tier II and III markets by investing in scalable healthcare businesses across healthcare delivery, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, and allied sectors.<\/p>\n \u201cIndia\u2019s healthcare ecosystem is undergoing a structural transformation, particularly beyond the metros,\u201d said Mayur Sirdesai, partner at Somerset Indus Capital Partners<\/a>. \u201cFund III positions us to deepen our presence in underserved markets and partner with entrepreneurs building scalable healthcare platforms.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n In September 2025, Somerset said it was nearing the final close of the fund and remained on track to achieve its $250 million target by October.\u00a0<\/p>\n In an October interaction<\/a> with VCCircle, executive director Vaibhav Doshi said the firm will continue investing in areas such as hospitals, clinics, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostics, while also taking a more nuanced approach by exploring subsectors within these areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n Somerset typically invests between $15 million and $40 million per company, with cheque sizes rising to $60-80 million in co-investment deals alongside its LP network.<\/p>\n The firm has already made three investments from the new fund, including Cyrix Healthcare<\/a> in 2024, a follow-on investment in pharmaceutical packaging firm Printmann Offset, and backing for Bengaluru-based NU Hospitals<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n Somerset has also clocked a few exits in recent months. In September, it clocked 4x returns on its exit from Jaipur-based Apex Hospitals, after Hyderabad-headquartered PE firm InvAscent invested $30 million via a secondary transaction. Earlier last year, it exited Hexagon Nutrition through a buyback transaction.<\/p>\n Get daily update with our newsletter Subscribe Now !<\/p>\n Subscribe to Newsletter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Somerset’s Mumbai office Private equity firm Somerset Indus Capital Partners has exceeded the $250 million (around Rs 2,125…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[172079,172074,163,521,85,172077,46,66652,3238,73882,172075,172078,172073,172076],"class_list":["post-354356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-cyrix-healthcare","tag-deg","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-il","tag-international-development-finance-corporation","tag-israel","tag-limited-partners","tag-private-equity","tag-roshan-abraham","tag-self-reliant-india-fund","tag-sifem","tag-somerset-indus-capital-partners","tag-sri-fund"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
