With the acquisition, the company is set to strengthen its presence in key markets, including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka, while expanding its pan-India reach.

"This is a strategic step toward creating a more integrated and efficient diagnostic services network, offering cutting-edge solutions to patients across India," Manipal HealthMap CEO Sandeep Sharma said in a statement.
