What Arete Hospitals does

Arete Hospitals is a multi-specialty quaternary care private hospital operating from a single ~250-bed facility in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, India, under the legal entity Arete Institute of Medical Sciences Private Limited. The hospital organizes its clinical offering into nine Institutes of Excellence spanning Cardiac Sciences, Gastrosciences, Internal Medicine, Women & Child Care, Neurosciences, Bone & Joint Care, Oncology, Renal Sciences, and Pulmonary & Sleep Disorders, collectively covering 29 specialties. Technology infrastructure is anchored by capital-intensive medical equipment — robotic surgery platforms, O-ARM intraoperative imaging, neuronavigation systems, Kinevo 900 surgical microscope, advanced 4K laparoscopy, intraoperative neuromonitoring, 3 Tesla MRI, and 160-slice cardiac CT — enabling complex quaternary procedures including Primary PCI with a reported door-to-wire time of 60–90 minutes for STEMI patients.

The business model is direct-to-consumer: individual patients access services via walk-ins, a 24/7 phone helpline (040-69696969), online appointment booking, and a recently launched home healthcare program. Revenue is generated from procedural fees, inpatient room charges, diagnostic imaging and laboratory services, pharmaceutical sales, and a structured portfolio of ten preventive health-check-up packages priced from ₹4,000 (Arete Essential Health Plan) to ₹22,000 (Whole Body Health Checkup Female), with specialized cardiac screening packages priced ₹8,000–₹19,500. Patient-experience design — decentralized billing, per-floor pharmacies, view rooms, chef-led nutrition, and a VIP wellness centre — is positioned as a differentiator against larger Hyderabad chains.

Arete was founded by Chakravarthi Gutta (Managing Director) and Vijender Teegala (Chairman) and operates as an independent private company with no disclosed parent organization, institutional investors, or external funding rounds. Clinical leadership is recruited from premier Indian and international training programs (CMC Vellore, NIMS, PGI Chandigarh, Boston University, ESMO), and the leadership bench includes a Padmasree Awardee (Dr. Manjula Anagani) and clinicians recognized via Outlook Best Physician South 2022 and the Dr Abdul Kalam Award 2020.
