Novo Holdings, the investment arm controlling Novo Nordisk, is expanding its footprint in India with larger bets on single-specialty hospitals and contract drug manufacturers. Managing Partner Amit Kakar revealed that the firm’s typical investment size has grown from $20–30 million to $50–125 million, backed by a new Mumbai-based team. The company aims to tap into India’s rapidly growing healthcare market, driven by rising demand for specialized care in areas like oncology, maternity, and nephrology. Novo is also exploring opportunities in medical technology, senior care, and complex drug manufacturing. With assets under management of €142 billion, Novo’s strategy reflects increasing foreign interest in India’s healthcare and life sciences sectors. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/novo-sharpens-india-focus-with-bigger-bets-niche-hospitals-2025-11-04/
