Key Rating Drivers
Strengths |
>Experienced Promoters and Management MGS Infotech Research and Solutions Private Limited was incorporated as a private company in 2004. It is promoted by Dr. Pankaj Batra, Dr, Deepak Gandhi, Dr. Shalini Gandhi, Mr. Ramesh Kumar Batra and Mr. Chandan Batra. Promoters Dr. Pankaj Batra, Dr, Deepak Gandhi and Dr. Shalini Gandhi have significant amount of experience in the medical industry. Also Mr. R.K. Batra, has an extensive experience of almost four decades spanning across various industries/ businesses like logistics, oil and gas etc.. Acuité believes that the extensive experience of the promoters is likely to benefit MGSIRSPL over the medium term. |
Weaknesses |
>Nascent stage of operations. The company is yet to commence its commercial operation and the same is expected to start from March 2023. Availability of medical and non medical staff at affordable costs provision of uninterrupted operational infrastructure, competition from other existing hospitals, technological advances in medical technology, desired occupancy levels etc are the few of the key post operational business risks. The company’s ability to scale up its business will remain a key rating sensitivity factor. >Highly Regulated Area of Operations In India, the healthcare sector is highly regulated. Hence, regulatory challenges continue to pose a significant risk to private healthcare as they are highly susceptible to changes in the regulatory framework. |

Note on complexity levels of the rated instrument |
In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’ s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk.
