TLH, Advocates & Solicitors represented Arete Institute of Medical Sciences on this transaction. KIMS will exclusively operate Arete Hospitals in Gachibowli, Hyderabad under a long-term management agreement, with a secured call option to potentially acquire Arete's hospital business and will earn a nine percent fee on net revenue. Aurevia Hospitals Private Limited (AHPL) is formerly known as Golden Lan Solution Private Limited. The O&M Agreement runs for an initial period of 5 years, with an option for a further 5-year extension.

Why it mattersAsset-light O&M with embedded call option represents a precedent for capital-constrained healthcare groups to expand footprint in high-value urban IT hubs while deferring acquisition risk and retaining upside optionality.
