- The company plans to fund its growth primarily through internal accruals, avoiding the need for additional borrowing. - Debt-to-EBITDA ratio is currently at a comfortable level (about 2.3%) and is expected to slightly improve in coming quarters. - There will be some capex for maintenance and growth in future years, but this will not require extra borrowing. - No specific mention of new equity fundraising in the provided transcript. - Investments such as new high-end equipment and clinical talent are being funded through existing resources without raising new debt or equity.

- Capex for the 9 months this fiscal was about INR 96 crores, including INR 56 crores invested in various areas. - Investments made in revenue-generating activities such as: - Solar installation at Karnataka center (~INR 18 crores) reducing electricity cost. - High-end equipment at the center of excellence. - Robotic surgery infrastructure including da Vinci robotic units under pay-per-use model. - Future capex includes: - Capacity additions with expected operationalization of installed beds over the next 18 months. - Maintenance and growth-oriented capex will continue. - New centers like the Bangalore COE expected to be operational by Q4 FY '24 and others by Q1 FY '25. - No additional borrowing expected for capex; funded through internal accruals and acceptable debt-to-EBITDA ratios. - Strategic investments focus on clinical talent acquisition, technology adoption (robotics), and marketing to drive growth.

- Emerging centers are expected to grow faster than mature centers, driven by increased utilization and new patient volumes (Q&A, Page 16). - Continued investment in clinical talent and business promotion will boost future revenues; these investments are temporary and aimed at scalable growth (Page 17). - Focus on increasing volumes first in emerging centers before optimizing mix and ARPOB to improve revenue quality (Page 8). - Growth drivers for FY '24 remain consistent, including improving utilization of emerging hospitals and expansion of clinical services (Page 15-16). - Expansion of capacity with 203 inpatient beds to be operationalized over the next ~18 months, supporting revenue growth (Page 15). - Investments in technology, including robotic surgery and new high-end equipment, to catalyze growth (Page 16). - Emerging centers in bigger cities expected to improve payor mix and ARPOB, enhancing revenue and margins over time (Page 17). - Digital platform modules and increased marketing efforts expected to support volume and revenue growth (Page 5).
