Cupid Limited Increases Stake in GII Healthcare Investment through $5 Mn Follow-on Investment​

Mumbai, July 29, 2026 -Cupid Limited has announced an additional follow-on investment in GII Healthcare Investment Limited, a healthcare-focused investment platform managed by GII. This investment, amounting to USD 5 million and funded entirely through internal accruals, signals Cupid's sustained confidence in the long-term strategic value of GII's healthcare investment strategy.

The additional commitment follows an earlier investment by Cupid and reinforces the company’s belief in the future of the GCC healthcare sector. Cupid views the region as a market offering compelling long-term growth opportunities, driven by increasing healthcare expenditure, expanding populations, rising insurance penetration, and sustained government investment. The follow-on was executed at an attractive valuation, allowing the company to increase its participation in the platform's growth trajectory.

GII operates as a leading investment firm with assets under management exceeding USD 3.5 billion, maintaining a presence across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Europe, the USA, and India. The platform holds a significant equity stake in prominent healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia, including Abeer Medical Company, a leading integrated healthcare provider, and AlMeswak Dental Company, a dental and derma care chain operating in the Kingdom.

Aditya Kumar Halwasiya, Chairman & Managing Director of Cupid Limited, commented on the development, stating that the decision to invest further demonstrates their strong conviction in GII's strategy. He added that this partnership reinforces confidence in the underlying healthcare assets and the long-term value creation potential of the platform, noting that the strategic relationship extends beyond financial returns as Cupid expands its global footprint.
