Narayana Health is an Indian private hospital network that operates multiple facilities across India. It is considering an initial public offering (IPO) to raise capital for further expansion plans across the country. An IPO would provide Narayana Health with access to larger capital markets for funding new hospitals and infrastructure. While an IPO would increase regulatory requirements and reduce founders' control, it could boost the company's reputation and allow existing shareholders to realize partial liquidity. The IPO market was also active in India in 2015, validating Narayana Health's decision to pursue this route for financing its ambitious growth goals.
