People Tree Hospitals founder kicks off BlackRock's Rs 210-crore exit amid expansion push

Bengaluru: Founder, Managing Director and CEO of People Tree Hospitals, Dr Jothi Neeraja, has begun facilitating an exit for BlackRock, which invested Rs 210 crore in the People Tree Hospital network in March this year.

The investment supported People Tree’s expansion and enhanced super-specialty services.

“I started with no legacy, no network just intent and integrity,” Dr Neeraja said. “So, when investors place trust in you, you honor it. Completing BlackRock’s exit is part of that commitment.”

With People Tree’s transition underway, she is also focusing on Maarga Mind Care, scaling a 1,000-bed, 25-dedicated mental health hospital network.

“India has built world-class super specialty care in Cardiology, Urology, Gastroenterology, Oncology & Neurosciences,” she added. “Our next decade must belong to mental health with the same quality, urgency, and seriousness.”
