Temasek takes minority stake in India's 70-year-old Romsons Group
What's the deal? Romsons Group, an Indian maker of medical devices and hygiene products, has raised growth equity from Temasek, the Singapore-based global investment company. Temasek joins as a long-term strategic partner through a minority investment, the company said on September 22, 2026.
What does Romsons do? Founded seven decades ago, it sells medical devices and hygiene products across the Indian healthcare market. The deal marks the first outside institutional partner in the company's 70-year history.
Why it matters: Temasek is one of the world's most prominent sovereign-backed investors, and its backing lends institutional weight to a family-run enterprise. The firm brings "global experience, institutional capabilities and long-term perspective," Romsons said.
What's the endgame? Romsons plans to invest in products, manufacturing, technology, and people while expanding in India and abroad. It and Temasek will also evaluate acquisitions and strategic partnerships that fit the company's objectives.
Why now? Managing director Kishore Narain Khanna called the tie-up "an important milestone in Romsons' 70-year journey," framing it as a step toward "greater scale, capabilities and a global perspective."
What's next? The company is weighing a possible listing. Group CFO Sanjeev Kharbanda said the investment marks "an important step in Romsons' institutional evolution," with Romsons flagging that it may access public markets "at an appropriate time," subject to its trajectory and market conditions.
The signal: Global investors continue to hunt for exposure to India's healthcare sector, and Temasek's move signals appetite for established, family-owned manufacturers positioning to scale and eventually go public.
