HEAPS has its presence in India, with offices in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. In US and Singapore, it is present through its subsidiaries.
Nalin Shah, Managing Director, NVS Wealth Managers, said,
“With the strong expertise of Dr Suman, both in India and the US healthcare markets, I strongly believe HEAPS would be a highly valued company, soon achieving unicorn status. Our group of HNI investors and family offices are extremely confident in the company’s growth prospects as they aim to address the trust deficit among stakeholders in the healthcare space and have found a highly rewarding niche.”
Rajiv Dadlani, from Rajiv Dadlani Group, said, “The founders, having a strong pedigree and tremendous experience in the healthcare industry, have built a robust management team and are doing a splendid job.
