Supporting infrastructure includes 24-hour clinical laboratory and radiology (X-ray, CT), a fully stocked blood bank, and an integrated pharmacy.

Sugam's revenue model is a professional services mix of inpatient admissions, outpatient consultations, surgical procedures, and diagnostics, supplemented by recurring revenue from tiered preventive health check packages (₹750–₹4,500) and transaction-fee cashless billing through 20+ empanelled insurance companies and 22+ TPAs. GTM is sales-led via direct hospital visits, online appointment booking, WhatsApp inquiry, community outreach, and earned media.
