EQT Partners Lines Up $1 Bn Exit from CitiusTech

Interest from global private equity firms is strong, with Protiviti India’s Vivek Srivastava noting that healthcare technology valuations remain high as digital adoption becomes essential across global healthcare systems.

Global investment firm EQT Partners is preparing to exit its 40% stake in healthcare technology company CitiusTech, targeting a valuation of nearly $1 billion.

The move is set to become one of the largest exits in India’s healthcare IT sector and reflects strong global investor interest in digital health platforms.

CitiusTech, founded in 2005, has grown into a major provider of digital engineering, cloud modernization, analytics, and AI-led healthcare solutions.

Under current CEO Mahesh Natarajan, and with earlier leadership contributions from Bhaskar Sambasivan, the company has expanded into multiple international markets with a deep focus on healthcare domain expertise.

Several global private equity firms are reported to be evaluating the stake sale. Commenting on rising investor appetite, Vivek Srivastava, Managing Partner at Protiviti India Member Firm, said “Valuations remain strong for healthcare technology companies due to the sector’s increasing reliance on digital transformation.”

Under EQT’s ownership, CitiusTech strengthened its capabilities across interoperability, value-based care, patient engagement, and real-world data solutions.

CEO Natarajan has emphasized that the company’s mission is to “accelerate healthcare transformation by delivering scalable technology solutions that positively impact patient care.”

If completed at the expected valuation, EQT’s exit may establish a new benchmark for India’s digital health ecosystem.

The sale process is expected to draw robust interest as private equity funds assess CitiusTech’s strong revenue profile, diversified client base and long-term growth potential.

As the company moves into its next phase, investors view it as one of the most strategically placed healthcare IT firms operating out of India.
