The KIMS Story
From a 200-bed hospital in Nellore to one of India’s largest corporate hospital groups — built on the idea of taking specialised medicine beyond the largest metropolitan centres, affordably.
The first hospital in the network was established with approximately 200 beds — the foundation of the organisation’s regional healthcare model.
KIMS Secunderabad began with a smaller capacity and expanded progressively into a 1,000-bed tertiary and quaternary institution — still one of India’s largest private hospitals at a single location.
Investment from Milestone Private Equity Fund supported organisational development, followed by India Advantage Fund and Emerging India Fund in 2015.
KIMS completed Asia’s first transcatheter tricuspid-valve replacement, strengthening its structural-heart intervention capabilities.
Controlling interests in additional healthcare companies and investment from General Atlantic supported geographic expansion, technology investment and network consolidation.
KIMS performed India’s first double-lung transplant for a patient affected by COVID-19 — demonstrating its capabilities in complex thoracic transplantation and post-operative critical care.
KIMS listed on Indian stock exchanges and completed India’s first breathing-lung transplantation using an advanced donor-organ preservation approach.
Acquisitions, integrations and new hospitals added substantial tertiary and quaternary capacity across additional regions through 2025.
KIMS expanded to 27 hospitals and 8,300+ beds across five states — one of India’s largest corporate hospital groups.
