The company generates revenue through inpatient and outpatient consultations, diagnostic services, surgical procedures (including organ transplants, cardiac surgery, and joint replacement), and emergency care across its hospital network. It runs a packaged preventive-care product line with tiered health checkups priced from INR 1,199 to INR 9,000 across multiple locations, and a dedicated International Patient Services channel for medical tourism.

Medway received its first institutional funding of $5 million in January 2024 led by Kyra Ventures with participation from family offices, earmarked for a capacity expansion to 1,000 beds by 2026 focused on Tier 2 cities. The company is led by Chairman Dr. T. Palaniappan and as of December 2025 has engaged an investment banker to plan its first private equity round, indicating preparation for a larger institutional capital raise.
