🔈 New Investment Memo India faces an enormous healthcare challenge, with 1.5 million new cancer cases reported annually - a number expected to reach 2.5 million by 2030. Early detection and proper treatment can save countless lives, yet the infrastructure for chemotherapy treatment remains severely inadequate, leaving patients to navigate exhausting wait times and impersonal care during their most vulnerable moments. Enter M | O | C Cancer Care & Research Centre, India's largest independent chain for chemotherapy care. Founded by four distinguished medical oncologists - Vashishth Pankaj Maniar, Dr Ashish Joshi, Dr Pritam Kalaskar, and Dr Kshitij Joshi - MOC has reimagined the cancer care experience through their patient-first approach. With 23 NABH-certified centers across Western and Central India, they've established new standards in cancer care delivery through dedicated facilities, 24/7 doctor access, and specialized onco-nursing support. During our extensive field visits to all the MOC centers, we were consistently impressed by the strong alignment between the founders' ethos and the entire network in delivering exceptional patient care. The results speak for themselves — near-perfect 4.9-5.0 Google ratings across centers and impressive 50%+ year-over-year growth over the last three years. MOC has not only earned extraordinary patient love but also built a strong business with excellent center-level economics. Read our investment memo, where Mayank Khanduja and Vishap Rana dive deep into why MOC's clinician-led, patient-centric approach convinced us they are best positioned to reshape cancer care delivery in India: https://lnkd.in/eHTBvXyR

Team M | O | C Cancer Care & Research Centre proudly announces that we have raised $18M in growth capital led by Elevation Capital. The first investment by Tata Capital Healthcare Fund in 2023 and now the current investment by Elevation Capital significantly propels us forward on this journey of making effective cancer care accessible to everyone. This capital boost will not only enhance our infrastructure and expand the network of taking cancer care closer to patients but also enable us to conduct large-scale clinical trials, explore new therapies, and maximize the potential of existing ones. India faces a growing cancer burden with 1.5 million new cases reported annually, yet access to quality care remains a significant challenge. Most cancer care facilities are concentrated in major cities and at selective locations, making treatment both geographically and financially inaccessible for many patients. Founded in 2018 by four oncologists- Dr Ashish Joshi , Dr Kshitij Joshi, Dr Pritam Kalaskar, and Vashishth Pankaj Maniar- M | O | C addresses many of these challenges by setting up asset-light, safety-equipped community cancer centres for medical management at a cost that implies 20%-30% savings to patients. It further saves time for patients a great deal. Mr. Mayank Khanduja, Partner at Elevation Capital, expressed optimism about this partnership with M | O | C as we drive the advancement of cancer care across India.

Incredibly excited to announce our partnership with M | O | C Cancer Care & Research Centre ! Having spent significant time looking at healthcare, I've rarely come across a team that combines clinical excellence with such deep patient empathy as MOC. Anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of seeing a cancer patient’s journey from close quarters would know how life destroying it can be for the patient and the caregiver. At that point in time, what is needed is a healthcare provider who shows patient-centricity. Over the past few months, as we visited every one of MOC’s 20+ centers, we were moved by countless patient stories that highlighted the stark difference MOC's approach makes in their cancer treatment journey. What struck me most was watching the founding doctors - Dr Ashish Joshi Vashishth Pankaj Maniar Dr Pritam Kalaskar Dr Kshitij Joshi - in action. Their unwavering focus on patient comfort and dignity has redefined what chemotherapy care can look like in India. From private rooms to 24/7 doctor access, every detail is thoughtfully designed to support patients during their most challenging moments. The near-perfect patient ratings on Google (4.9-5 across centers!) tell only part of the story. Behind these numbers are thousands of families who found not just treatment, but genuine care and support at MOC. And all of this is being run like a well oiled machine by Manish Jobanputra, building a strong business on this foundation of patient-first ethos! https://lnkd.in/guf-9Y9N We Elevation Capital are delighted to become partners on the MOC mission!!
