Apollo Cradle & Fertility announce pioneering initiatives

Apollo Cradle & Fertility announce pioneering initiatives to address country’s growing requirements and challenges in fertility and quality neo natal care

·         Pioneers eNICU technology and sets up Command Center in Hyderabad, to take quality neo natal care to Tier II & III cities and towns across India

·         Apollo Fertility Launches ‘Apollo Androcare’- first dedicated Male Fertility Campaign

·         To set up Centers of Excellence for fertility across metros and expand Apollo Fertility chain across Tier I,II and III cities

India, July 27, 2019: Apollo Cradle and Apollo Fertility, India’s leading maternity hospital & fertility chain and a division of Apollo Health & Lifestyle Limited, today announced a slew of pioneering initiatives, to address the growing fertility issues and challenges in the country and to make available, advanced neo natal technology and quality maternity care to the population in Tier II & Tier III cities and towns, in the next 5 years.  Apollo Cradle announced the setting up of its first Integrated Neo-Natal Care Unit (eNICU) Command center at Hyderabad, with plans to establish two more centers in Bengaluru and Delhi in the next few months.

eNICU is a first of its kind initiative by Apollo Hospitals Group, a pioneer in Telemedicine in India, to enable Cradle’s expert team of Neo-natal specialists at the command centers to remotely monitor & manage, minute details including medication levels, nutrition, feeding pattern, calorie and growth charts of babies at smaller hospitals and nursing home and provide real-time advisory through audio-video calls. The initiative aims to address the lack of infrastructure and know-how and significantly improve neo-natal outcomes across India.

Not stopping at maternity care though, Apollo HLL has also taken a step towards addressing the growing fertility issues and challenges both in urban and rural India. The group announced that it will set up ‘Centers of Excellence’ for Fertility in each of the metro cities in the next year and also set up 50 more Apollo Fertility centers across Tier I, II & III cities through a hub and spoke model, in the next two- three years. Apollo Fertility also announced ‘Apollo Androcare’, an exclusive male fertility program to provide dedicated male fertility specialists, again a first in the country that will address an estimate 50% of infertility issues in couples today. 

Speaking on the new initiatives, Ms. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group, said, “India has large disparities between states on health indicators such as infant mortality. While there is tremendous improvement, as per UN Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation, the infant mortality rate (IMR) in India was 32 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2017, though the global average is 29 as per WHO report in 2017. Infant Mortality Rates (IMR) continues to be a growing concern, world over.  Although India has reduced its infant mortality rate (IMR) by 42% over 11 years--from 57 per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 32 in 2017, as per the latest Government data released in May 2019, India’s IMR still remains high compared to neighbouring countries. In case of neonatal mortality rate too, India witnesses 24 deaths per 1,000 live births while the global average remained at 18. This clearly demonstrates high levels of inequality in access to quality maternity care. Technology has had a significant role to play in the advancement of medical treatments and care. As a pioneer and leader in healthcare, Apollo is at the forefront to bring the best of both worlds – technology and medicine to improve the quality of lives of people. Hence, in line with our vision we are extending the reach of our clinical care & program to the smaller cities and towns, where the need for quality maternity and neo-natal care is the highest.”

 Mr. Chandra Sekhar, CEO Apollo Health & Lifestyle Limited said, “India is the second largest populated country in the world and as a pioneer and leader in healthcare, we are committed to not only provide quality treatment and services, but more importantly to leverage advanced technology and to innovate and reverse conventional models, to better address the country’s current need gaps and requirements in fertility, maternity and neo-natal care.”

Mr. Anubhav Prashant, COO, Apollo Cradle & Apollo Fertility added, “The eNICU technology platform is a step in the right direction towards providing timely intervention to new borns. Apart from pioneering this technology at Apollo Cradle, we envision to make this technology available to other hospitals as well with focus on Tier II and Tier III cities in an effort to curb Infant Mortality Rate in the country. The second edition of our 3 day annual international conference here is another step and initiative to bring together the best minds on the subject and derive new-age solutions that address future requirements.”

Resurgence of the Indian Real Estate Sector; witnesses an investment of USD 2.7 billion in H12019 as per a report by FICCI and Vestian

·         The report portrays the investment scenario in the real estate industry during the period of 2015-2019

·         80% of institutional investment in the country is accounted for by PE investors

·         2018 saw investments of USD 7.2 billion, the highest in a decade

·         Foreign funds with USD 16.7 billion worth of investments accounted for over 59% of the total real estate investment 

·         With 50% of the total investment, commercial assets observed highest amount of investments 

·         Warehousing and logistics sector has become increasingly popular over the last 2 years

·         Mumbai-based companies garnered the most investments in terms of both size and number followed by Bengaluru and then Gurgaon

 FICCI and Vestian launched a report titled Real Estate Investment in India: A Brief Analysis that portrays the investment scenario in the real estate industry. The report was launched at the FICCI Conference on Real Estate Financing in Mumbai today and talks about the evolution of the real estate sector and the investment scenario thereof. The insights of the report show a major shift in the investment landscape of the real estate sector and its journey from a heavy dependence on banking credit for financing requirements to now, where nearly 80% of the institutional investment is accounted for by private equity investors. 

The period from 2015-2018 observed the highest amount of traction in real estate investment in the country and this momentum continues in 2019 as well.  The years from 2015-2018 had investments worth USD25.7 billion being recorded.            2018 was the most popular year and had investments worth USD 7.2 billion, the highest in over a decade. The trend has further continued into 2019 too; and the year has already seen investments to the tune of USD 2.7 billion being made till the month of June. 

The investment climate has become progressively relaxed and conducive for institutional investments that has been helped by a host of reformatory measures such as the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amended Act, launch of Housing for All Mission, and easing of FDI rules, leading to increasing adoption of best practices and transparency

Dr. Shrinivas Rao, CEO – APAC, Vestian says, ‘Real estate is one of the most fundamental and influential sectors impacting the overall growth of a country’s economy. A robust and well catered real estate sector assists in strengthening a host of other ancillary sectors and is significant for a growth economy such as ours. This report, we believe,  would not only go a long way in addressing regulatory challenges but also help reflect on  directional  way ahead for the sector’. 

He further adds, ‘one of the major trends observed in the last decade has been the rise in institutional investment in real estate, particularly PE investment that has been a key factor in keeping the market confident about its revival. This investment interest from the institutional segment is bound to increase further, given the growth in a number of offshoots, such as - co-working spaces, co- living in the rental housing space, Affordable housing and warehousing & logistics. 

Mr. Sanjay Dutt, Chairman, FICCI Real Estate Committee & MD and CEO, Tata Realty and Infrastructure Ltd, says, ‘The Indian Real Estate sector is in a state of nirvana with revolutionary reforms playing charm to attract investments and restore confidence in the sector’.  Encouraged by the potential of the real estate sector which is clearly indicated in the report, he further says, ‘2019 has started on a positive note with approximately USD 2.7 billion of real estate investments recorded in the first half of the year in various asset classes across the country. Improvement in infrastructure, roads, and metros coupled with the increased speed of technology implementation (eg. 5G) will be impactful game changers for the sector and will improve the investor interest in the sector. The launch of India's first Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is another positive move for the sector further building confidence amongst global real estate investors to invest in India’.

 

Commercial Segment: A Winner

Commercial segment has emerged as the most preferred segment attracting investor interest and has accounted for the bulk of the real estate investment in the country since 2016. Commercial assets received the highest quantum of real estate investments during the period 2015-2019, to the tune of 50% of the total investment value. The most notable deal transacted in commercial segment was Blackstone picking up a 50% stake in Indiabulls’ flagship office properties in central Mumbai—One Indiabulls Centre and Indiabulls Finance Centre—for USD 730 million.  In sharp contrast, the residential segment has been on a declining trend, attributed primarily to the slowdown in the residential market owing to several factors, particularly relating to the regulatory measures and issues such as liquidity crunch, delayed projects and reduced buyer interest. 

 

Increased interest by Foreign Investors 

Foreign funds have increasingly bought into the India growth story and have been allocating substantial investments into the Indian realty sector. This is also a further validation that the  reformatory measures undertaken by the government  is not only increasing confidence in investors, but also  making the sector attractive overall. The interest of foreign funds in Indian real estate increased significantly during the years between 2015 and 2019.  Investments which were recorded at mere USD 1.3 billion in 2015, later touched USD 3.3 billion in 2017. Among foreign investors, a number of Singapore-based PE firms such as GIC, Ascendas- Singbridge and Xander are remarkably active in India’s realty sector, particularly towards the south, accounting for majority of the PE investment during the period 2015-2019. Other firms that have shown strong interest in the sector have their base in countries such as USA, Canada, and Abu Dhabi amongst others. 

 

 

Mumbai ruling the Roost

There has been a healthy competition between the southern and the western regions of India wanting to claim a greater share of the renewed interest from institutional investors. Among the cities attracting real estate investment, Mumbai-based companies garnered the most investments, in terms of both size and number. During 2015-2019. Mumbai attracted investments worth USD 10 billion, accounting for a share of 36% of the total investment. Bengaluru was next in line with USD 6 billion of investments accounting for 21% share, followed by Gurgaon with USD 3.6 billion of investments and accounting for nearly 13% share. In 2019, till June Mumbai has accounted for 52% of the total investment in the country.

 

Affordable Housing shouldering the Residential Segment

2018 witnessed a revival in the residential market, primarily buoyed by new launches and sales in the affordable housing sector. We believe that this would continue to drive market growth in 2019, that has been further helped by the transparency in the segment and regulatory push through various avenues such as allocation of infrastructure status, benefits under Prime Minister’s Awas Yojana, Credit Linked Saving Scheme and substantial GST rate cut on housing

 

The changing face of real estate in India: Emergence of new asset classes

Co-working segment has grown exponentially and has been the new trend which is helping commercial real estate market to explore a new era of shared workspaces. At present, there are more than 180 co-working operators in the top eight cities. Office markets in Bengaluru, NCR and Mumbai offer the best opportunities for this trend, followed by Hyderabad and Chennai. The co-working segment is expected to account for a larger share of the market in 2019, portending a major shift in workspace dynamics with technology, innovative space design and flexibility impacting the preferences of new age businesses.

 

Co- Living spaces that offer an inherent advantage of entailing a hassle free, convenient  plug and play model, is expected to attract more tenants into its fold with the  segment projected to grow manifold in the forthcoming period. Already over 40 co-living start-ups have come up around the country in the past 2-3 years and the segment has been attracting significant interest in venture capital funding too. Nestaway, has been reported to have raised USD 94.2 million while Colive, offering fully managed rental homes, has raised USD 9.2 million. In another big-ticket funding, student housing rental start-up Stanza Living raised USD 10 million in 2018. 

 

Warehousing and Logistics segments are driving investor interest due to strong economic fundamentals, proactive government policies such as implementation of GST and ‘Make in India’ policy, and sustained growth in organized retail and e-commerce. Southern cities like Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad have witnessed substantial interest from investors in recent years. Among major deals, Warburg Pincus invested USD 180 million in Embassy Group for a project in Bengaluru, while Proprium Capital Partners invested nearly USD 100 million in Musaddilal Projects in Hyderabad.
