• Balanced growth engine: Three pillar strategy combining 8 to 10 targeted acquisitions annually with 5 to 7 new organic multispeciality centres and 100 district centres each year to accelerate market consolidation while maintaining clinical quality. 

• Affordability through efficiency: Leveraging centralised procurement, technology, and economies of scale to reduce the cost of advanced eye care procedures while sustaining world class clinical outcomes.

Bengaluru, December 4, 2025: ASG Eye Hospital, India’s leading super specialty eye care chain, today announced its long-term strategic roadmap, Vision 2030, aimed at significantly expanding access to high quality ophthalmic care across the country. Supported by marquee investors General Atlantic and Kedaara Capital, the organisation plans to invest Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000 crore, by 2030.

This investment will be deployed to expand ASG’s national footprint nearly fourfold, building a network of 600 to 700 centres across India and reinforcing its leadership position in the country’s estimated $5.5 billion eye care market. For the past 20 years, ASG has provided high-quality eye care to everyone, regardless of their financial status or awareness, and made world class healthcare treatments available across the country. Having established a considerable presence with 175+ centres in 95+ cities in India, ASG now intends to focus on the under-served fringe areas.

Vision 2030 follows a three pronged growth strategy that combines targeted acquisitions with accelerated organic expansion. ASG plans to pursue 8 to 10 niche practice acquisitions annually, enabling the integration of strong regional clinical capabilities, building on the playbook established through the recent acquisition of Vasan Eye Care. In parallel, the company will establish 5 to 7 new state of the art centres each year, with a focused push into the 100 districts (annually) where demand for quality eye care is rising rapidly and specialist access remains limited.

Dr. Arun Singhvi, Managing Director and CEO, ASG Eye Hospital, noted, “Vision 2030 is fundamentally about market disruption through impact. With over 80% of vision loss in India being preventable, our expansion is a mission to end unnecessary blindness. We are taking world class eye care out of the metropolitan hubs and into the heartland, where the need is more acute. Our significant investment is a declaration that no Indian should lose their sight due to lack of access or financial barriers. Through Public-Private partnerships and pioneering Tele-ophthalmology, we are building the infrastructure necessary to make quality eye care a right, not a privilege, for every citizen.”

The investment programme extends beyond physical expansion and reflects a sustained commitment to clinical excellence and operational scale. By 2026, ASG’s focus will be to deploy funds and workforce to continue research and development into advanced surgical innovation, diagnostics, and clinician training, while ensuring consistent standards of care across its growing network.

As part of this partnership, NSDC International will provide deep technical expertise in workforce analytics, sectoral skilling strategies, policy advisory, curriculum co-development, and global benchmarking. This collaboration represents a significant leap in NSDC International’s global consulting footprint and underscores India’s growing leadership in enabling future-ready workforce ecosystems worldwide.

Mr. Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of NSDC and Managing Director of NSDC International, stated:
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to shaping the future of skills and work. Through this collaboration with Takamol, we aim to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s human capital ambitions with globally benchmarked, locally relevant skilling solutions aligned to Vision 2030.”

Mr. Alok Kumar, CEO of NSDC International, said, “This engagement is a strategic milestone for NSDC International and demonstrates our commitment to co-building resilient skilling frameworks across the globe.

Expanding the Horizon of Impact

The signing of this agreement sets the stage for a long-term, strategic collaboration between NSDC International and Takamol Holding. Beyond the immediate scope of the Skill Accelerator Program, both organisations have expressed intent to deepen their partnership across areas such as:

1. Sector-specific workforce development strategies in emerging and traditional industries;
2. Digital skilling frameworks and future skills integration;
3. Certification systems and qualification frameworks tailored to local and global employment standards;
4. Upskilling programs for expatriates and Saudi nationals to improve employability and productivity;
5. Designing pathways for international mobility and skill verification aligned with global standards.

This partnership stands as a model for how two forward-thinking institutions from the Global South can come together to architect solutions that are contextual, scalable, and globally competitive. The engagement is expected to generate not just impact on the ground in Saudi Arabia, but also new knowledge, tools, and models that can be replicated across other regions facing similar workforce transformation needs.
