Medi Assist Announces ₹198 Crore Investment from MIT Group

Medi Assist Healthcare Services Limited ("Medi Assist"), India’s premier health benefits administrator, has announced an investment from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and 238 Plan Associates LLC (an affiliate of MIT). The aggregate investment of INR 198 crores was secured through a preferential allotment on a private placement basis.

Under the preferential allotment, Medi Assist has issued 37,01,000 fully paid-up equity shares with a face value of ₹5/- each, at an issue price of ₹535 per share, for a total consideration of ₹198 crores. The issue of shares under preferential allotment received unanimous approval from the Board of Medi Assist at their meeting held on August 7, 2025, and was strongly supported by shareholders in an Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on September 4, 2025, with an overwhelming 99.15% of votes cast in favor of the transaction.

This capital infusion closely follows acquisition of Fairfax-owned Paramount Health Services & Insurance TPA Private Limited in July 2025 by Medi Assist Insurance TPA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Medi Assist and Medi Assist’s strategic collaboration for technology solutions in June 2025 with Star Health Insurance and Allied Services, India’s leading private and retail segment health insurer. With this successful capital raise, the company further solidifies its commitment to maintaining a robust capital structure, thereby fueling innovation-led growth.
