Vaidam Health and InCred Capital make strategic acquisitions in India
What's the deal? Two Indian firms announced acquisitions this week. Vaidam Health, a medical travel platform, acquired CancerRounds, an oncology-focused healthcare platform. Separately, InCred Capital bought Singapore-based fund manager S Cube Capital (SAIML).
Vaidam's deal integrates CancerRounds' cancer care navigation — doctor discovery, treatment coordination, hospital shortlisting, and post-treatment follow-up — into its international patient services. The goal: stronger support for cancer patients seeking treatment abroad.
"Oncology has consistently been one of our largest medical travel verticals," said Pankaj Chandna, co-founder of Vaidam Health. "Cancer patients and their families often need a higher level of guidance because treatment decisions are time-sensitive, specialised, and deeply personal."
InCred Capital's acquisition of S Cube Capital adds regulated fund vehicles to its Singapore platform. It follows InCred's recent purchase of Arrow Capital DIFC, a Dubai-based boutique financial services firm, and strengthens its ability to serve clients investing across the Singapore–Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)–India corridor.
InCred Capital reported over $10.5B in wealth assets under management and roughly $1B in asset management AUM. It operates across India, Singapore, Dubai, and London.
Why now? Cross-border medical travel is surging as patients — particularly cancer patients — increasingly seek specialised treatment outside their home countries. For Vaidam, acquiring an oncology-specific navigator is a logical next step in its largest vertical.
For InCred, the deal reflects growing demand for cross-border wealth management between India, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf. Building a regulated presence in Singapore positions it to capture more of that flow.
What could go wrong? Both deals hinge on integration. Vaidam must blend CancerRounds' capabilities without disrupting its existing patient services. InCred's S Cube deal remains subject to regulatory approvals, and merging fund management operations across jurisdictions is notoriously complex.
As part of the S Cube transaction, Balaji Swaminathan and Hemant Mishr will join InCred Global Wealth as joint vice chairmen of the global asset management business — a signal that retention of key talent is part of the plan.
The signal: These deals reflect two broader trends. In healthcare, platforms are consolidating to offer end-to-end patient journeys rather than piecemeal services. In wealth management, Indian firms are racing to build multi-geography platforms that span the India–Singapore–GCC corridor — one of the fastest-growing capital routes in Asia.
