As Byju’s-owned Aakash Institute faces an uncertain future, its healthcare arm Aakash Healthcare plans expansion

Aakash Healthcare, an arm of Aakash Institute, whose reins currently lie with the embattled edtech firm Byju’s, plans a significant expansion over the next five years. It aims to add 1,000 to 1,200 beds and reach a valuation of approximately Rs 3,500 crore. The expansion will initially be self-funded and will add 800 beds. The growth strategy is underpinned by capacity expansion across various medical specialties, including tertiary care and super-specialty hospitals.
