360 ONE’s Healthcare Opportunities Fund has signed definitive agreements to invest in A4 Hospitals, an integrated women’s healthcare chain based in Tamil Nadu with a strong presence in Chennai. A4 Hospitals, founded by Dr Ashok Kumar and Dr Aruna Ashok, provides a range of services including fertility treatments (IVF), maternity care, and gynaecological services.
The investment will be used to enhance service offerings, elevate brand recognition, improve market positioning, and expand A4 Hospitals’ presence in Tamil Nadu and other new regions. Wodehouse Capital Advisors acted as the sole financial and strategic advisor for the transaction.
A4 Hospitals follows a model grounded in clinical protocols and a patient-centric approach, establishing itself as one of Chennai’s leading women’s healthcare providers. With eight centres in Chennai and a team of over 500 professionals, A4 Hospitals has become a significant player in the region. Dr Ashok Kumar, Managing Director and CEO of A4 Hospitals, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with a team that shares our vision and is committed to our mission. Together, we look forward to embarking on a journey that will profoundly impact the healthcare landscape, particularly in fertility and maternity care.”
In 2024, 360 ONE Asset has also made investments in Vastu Housing Finance, hearing solutions provider HearZap, and D2C lifestyle brand DailyObjects. The company manages Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) with assets under management (AUM) close to US$ 5.00 billion, according to its annual report.
This deal marks Wodehouse Capital Advisors’ second consecutive transaction in the Healthcare Services sector within a month. Wodehouse Capital is in discussions with several healthcare companies and will collaborate with A4 Hospitals and 360 ONE on strategic initiatives to drive the next phase of growth.
