About the company
Now it’s time for Narayan Hrudayalaya. It is a private healthcare company, focused on providing care to the working class populaces i.e. healthcare service at affordable prices. They started as a cardiac care provider, incorporated in the year 2000 by the company’s promoter Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty. However, today it is known for multispecialty hospitals. Theiremphasis is on tertiary care specialties. This is different from other healthcare company as it has presented itself as socially responsible company which helps needy people who cannot pay for high medical cost.
Over 30 specialties, including cardiology, cancer, urology, neurology, etc., are taken care of by Narayan Hrudayalaya.
Headquartered in Bengaluru, the company’s operational spread is mainly at two clusters (regions), where it has preeminent position. One being Bangalore, Karnataka in the south and other being Kolkata, West Bengal on the east. Growing further, the company is building hospitals in other parts of the country too. And hope to create similar strong clusters in central and western India.
Narayan Hrudayalaya Ltd. follows the following business models:
- Self-owned as well as operated hospitals
- Operating hospitals and heart centers and sharing revenues with hospital-premises owner.
- Lease-based or license based operated hospitals, standalone clinics and primary care facility
- Managed Hospitals- only hospital management services provided to third parties.
The revenues of the company come from its three business clusters/ regions. Major portion of the revenue arises from the southern, i.e. Karnataka, cluster; then from the eastern cluster and the western cluster, where there are facilities in Jaipur and Ahmedabad.
The exact number of operating beds, currently,are 544. However, they have built-in capacity of 6602 beds. 4 new hospitals (in Mumbai, Lucknow, Vaishno Devi and Bhubaneshwar) that are still in development stage, put together, have close-to around 1000 beds capacity. These will be built within a period of 2-4 years.
Revenue per occupied bed is about Rs. 58 lakhs annually. And this is projected to rise, not because of the pricing correction but because – as the hospitals mature, they do more complex procedures, which have naturally a higher yield. The utilization of the facilities is also expected to be increase.
Overall the company has 23 multi- and super-specialty hospitals, 8 heart centers and 25 primary care centers. Over last five years the company’s growth has been good, at 30% CAGR.
About the Industry
India’s healthcare has developed yet there is always a demand-supply gap in the healthcare delivery industry. With the technology playing its part, the quality has improved a lot. But yet there are shortages as the country has severe population growth. Demography also has a vital role to play. Urban areas have more specialized facilities. The rural areas have the basic ones only. Affordability is also one key concern of the industry, as government expenditure is less and thus the individuals have to spend on their own for healthcare.
