Avis Hospital, India’s leading specialty centre dedicated to the treatment of varicose veins, has successfully raised $2.5 million in a strategic growth capital round from NABVENTURES, the venture capital arm of the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).
The investment was strategically facilitated by Equity 360, a boutique private market investment banking firm led by Sumeet Seraf.
Founded by Dr Rajah V. Koppala, a US- trained Vascular and Interventional Radiologist, Avis Hospital was established to address a silent but widespread health crisis in India, chronic venous insufficiency, commonly known as varicose veins. This condition severely impacts millions, especially in rural regions where daily-wage workers and farmers often suffer in silence due to limited access to specialised care.
The capital raised will enable Avis Hospital to expand its footprint to more than 15 Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, strengthening its capacity to provide specialised care to underserved communities. The hospital also plans to invest in technology-driven diagnostics and set up mobile screening camps to identify and treat patients in remote rural areas.
These initiatives reflect Avis Hospital’s long-term vision of building a nationwide network for vein health, grounded in a rural-first healthcare delivery model that prioritises access, affordability, and awareness.
