HealthKois

Check the fit before you write

• HealthKois says it targets high-growth companies in Healthtech, Biopharma, Medtech, Healthcare Delivery and Climate Health. If you are at idea or prototype stage, a grant or incubator is a better first door.
• It stresses an established revenue model and a path to profitability. Have your revenue traction and unit economics ready.

Write to the right inbox

• Use investment@healthkois.com for investment opportunities. Use contact@healthkois.com for general inquiries, and career@healthkois.com only for jobs.
• The site publishes no form, deadline or intake window, so keep the first email short: what you do, who you serve, traction, and what you are raising.

Map your pitch to their criteria

• The site lists eight criteria, including a clearly defined social impact thesis tied to the business strategy and an inherent ability to improve healthcare outcomes. Say plainly how your product reaches people with limited access to healthcare.
• Show execution depth: an experienced team, a business model with limited execution risk, and a plan that can be replicated at scale.

Know who is on the other side

• The team says it brings 30+ years of clinical experience and operating roles in healthcare. Expect clinical and operating questions, not only financial ones.
• It also lists its impact and ESG function, so be ready to discuss how you will measure outcomes.

HealthKois is an India-focused healthcare impact fund based in New Delhi. Its own site describes it as one of the successor funds of HealthQuad I and II, launched by KOIS and led by Charles Janssen together with Ajay Mahipal and Dr. Pinak Shrikhande, who are key managerial personnel at HealthQuad. It invests in bold healthcare innovations, including AI-led models, that aim to deliver both financial returns and measurable social impact.

Who it backs

HealthKois says it targets high-growth companies across Healthtech, Biopharma, Medtech, Healthcare Delivery and Climate Health, with solutions for India and the wider Global South. It frames its mission around people in India who lack access to healthcare, and around companies that also aspire to serve patients in other low and middle-income countries. This is a growth-stage investor, so most pre-revenue founders are not the fit; the site talks about proven revenue and a path to profitability rather than idea-stage support.

What it looks for

The site lists eight investment criteria: a unique business offering, a strong execution team, an established revenue model, a clearly defined social impact thesis built into the business strategy, a clear execution pathway with limited execution risk, scalability through an easily replicable plan, an inherent ability to improve healthcare outcomes, and a sustainable path to profitability. Founders should be ready to show evidence on each of these.

Beyond capital

Under the heading Value Creation Engine, the fund lists team building, business model realignment, margin improvement, business development, corporate governance and strategic initiatives as areas where it works with companies after investing. It describes its team as combining 30+ years of clinical experience, 100+ years of operating roles in healthcare and consumer health, and 20 investments in Indian healthcare, deeptech and healthtech.

Who runs it

The investment team on the site includes Charles Janssen as Managing Partner, Ajay Mahipal and Dr. Pinak Shrikhande as Partners, Shubham Jain as Vice President and Kanika Jain as Senior Associate. Nidhi Dahiya heads impact and ESG. The site also shows a predecessor fund section covering HealthQuad Fund 1 and HealthQuad Fund 2.

How to reach HealthKois

The office is at Level 3, The Crescent, Lado Sarai, Mehrauli, New Delhi 110030. The site gives investment@healthkois.com for investment opportunities, contact@healthkois.com for any inquiry or grievances, and career@healthkois.com for career queries. It publishes no application form, intake window or deadline, so a short email to the investment inbox is the route it points to. The site does not state a cheque size to founders, and it does not describe a programme with cohorts.
