Finding Clarity in Growth
Background
This is a well known multispecialty hospital in Gujarat. It runs around the clock , surgery, cardiology, maternity, oncology, pediatrics, orthopedics, ENT, even plastic surgery , pretty much everything under one roof.
Over the years, the hospital built real trust locally. People came because it was reliable, not because it was the biggest or flashiest.
The team had figured out how to deliver care well. But when it came to business decisions , expansion, funding, future planning , things weren’t as clear.
The Challenge
By the time we got involved, the hospital was doing fine on the surface but didn’t have one clear picture of itself. Different people had different numbers. Growth looked good on paper, but nobody could say exactly where margins came from, or which departments were actually driving it.
When bankers asked for projections, the team had to pull data from five different places.
And valuation? It was mostly guesswork.
The promoters weren’t looking for fancy models , they just wanted to know where they stood and how to plan the next few years properly.
Mantraa’s Role
We started small. No jargon, no deck , just a few sessions to understand how the hospital actually ran day to day.
Once we had that, we began mapping the operations into a business plan , what each department earned, what it cost, and how much capacity was left to grow.
The goal wasn’t to overcomplicate it, just to get everyone looking at the same numbers.
Then we worked on the valuation , real data, realistic assumptions, and comparisons to similar hospitals. It wasn’t about showing a huge number. It was about creating one that could hold up when questioned by investors or lenders.
The Impact
The shift was quick. Once the promoters saw everything laid out clearly, decisions that had been on hold started moving again. They could see what to expand, what to pause, and what could wait another year.
When they went back to the bank, they finally had something solid , numbers, forecasts, and a plan that actually matched the way they ran the hospital.
Key Takeaway
Once the financial picture becomes clear, every decision , whether it’s funding or expansion , gets easier to make.
