Gurugram-based Axten Hospitals, a unit of TAH Global Healthcare, has raised Rs 2.5 crore in its first structured funding round led by PedalStart with participation from a group of angel investors.

Founded by Gauttam Chhabra, Axten Hospitals operates at the intersection of standardised clinical delivery, operational efficiency, and transparent pricing.

The funding comes on the back of the company’s strong early traction, proven unit economics, and a large underserved opportunity in India’s surgical care market.

The company launched its pilot facility in East of Kailash, New Delhi in FY25, generating approximately Rs 9 crore in revenue in its first year, validating both demand and unit economics.

The capital raised will be deployed to launch three new hospital facilities over the next 12 months, through a predominantly asset-light model, focusing on partnerships, branding, legal setup, and working capital rather than heavy infrastructure ownership. Each facility is expected to achieve break-even within 5–6 months, reinforcing the company’s capital-efficient, high-margin operating model.

Over the next phase of growth, the company plans to introduce a technology-enabled patient journey platform, enabling seamless discovery, booking, and post-operative care. Patients will be able to select hospitals, doctors, rooms, and services with full pricing transparency, while also accessing structured follow-ups and care coordination.

With expansion underway, the company plans to scale teams across facility operations, surgical coordination, and patient care, while strengthening central functions such as marketing, finance, and operations. The expansion strategy will focus mainly on metro cities with high surgical demand and limited access to quality, standardised care.

Looking ahead, Axten Hospitals aims to build India’s first chain of specialised smart surgery hospitals with honest surgery prices, targeting Rs 250 crore in revenue within five years. This fundraise marks the company’s first external capital, following a fully bootstrapped journey, with plans to expand to 25+ facilities across the top 5 metros while providing the best-in-class patient experience.
