Who am I actually transacting with?

You transact with the desk, not with an anonymous counterparty. When you buy, you buy from the desk; when you sell, you sell to the desk. Shares always route through the desk's own demat account, so there's one accountable party for the whole trade.

How do I pay, and is there a payment gateway?

Payment is by direct bank transfer to Prospire Network Private Limited's published account (CIN U82300UP2025PTC233622), shown to you in-app at the payment step. There is no card gateway and no escrow. Never pay to a personal account or to any account shared over phone, WhatsApp or email — even if the person claims to be from our team.

How long does settlement take?

After you accept an allocation, you have a short window to pay (typically 2 days). Once payment is verified, shares are usually credited to your demat within 2–3 business days, subject to depository timelines and any company-level restrictions. Timeframes are typical, not guaranteed.

There are no separate platform fee lines and no GST on the transfer — the desk's margin is built into the buy/sell price you're quoted. The only statutory add-on on a purchase is stamp duty on the consideration, shown transparently in your cost breakdown.

Is there a minimum ticket size for Lakeshore Hospital and Research Centre Limited?

Minimums vary by company and depend on the lot the desk can source. Raise an enquiry and the desk will confirm the available quantity and the minimum for that name.

What KYC do I need, and do I need a demat account?

You'll share your demat details when you enquire so we can settle directly. Full KYC — PAN and a client-master / demat statement — is required before the transfer step, when shares actually change hands. Yes, you need an active demat account to hold unlisted shares.

Are there lock-ins on unlisted or pre-IPO shares?

Some shares carry statutory or company-imposed lock-ins — for example, a post-listing lock-in on pre-IPO stock — and transfers can be subject to the company's articles or approvals. Where a lock-in applies, we'll flag it before you commit.

How do I sell Lakeshore Hospital and Research Centre Limited shares I already hold?

Raise a sell enquiry with the company, quantity and your target price. The desk confirms a buying price, you transfer your shares into the desk's demat, and once the credit is verified we pay you out by bank transfer to your registered account. The desk never pays out before your shares are received.

Unlisted shares are illiquid, may be hard or impossible to sell, and are not covered by exchange settlement guarantees or investor-protection funds. Pricing is indicative, not live. Read the full Risk Disclosure before you enquire, and invest only what you can afford to lock away.

Investment Thesis

Lakeshore Hospital and Research Centre Limited (VPS Lakeshore) is one of Kerala's most significant independent multi-specialty hospitals, with strong brand equity, comprehensive tertiary care capabilities, and the financial backing of VPS Healthcare Group under Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil. The hospital is well-positioned to benefit from Kerala's growing healthcare demand and its unique international patient pipeline from the Gulf. While the unlisted structure limits public financial visibility, the underlying healthcare business appears robust and growth-oriented.

Pros

VPS Lakeshore is one of Kerala's largest independent multi-specialty hospitals, with a well-established brand, comprehensive tertiary care capabilities, and a strong patient referral network across South India and the Gulf diaspora
Backed by VPS Healthcare Group, led by Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil — a prominent NRI healthcare entrepreneur with significant hospital assets across the UAE and India — providing access to capital, operational expertise, and international medical talent
Strategic location in Kochi (Nettoor, NH Bypass), Kerala's commercial capital, gives the hospital access to a large and relatively affluent patient catchment area and proximity to the international airport for medical tourism
Kerala's significant NRI population in the Gulf states creates a strong cross-border patient pipeline for high-value procedures and specialist consultations, benefiting Lakeshore's international patient revenue
Growing healthcare demand in Kerala — driven by an ageing population, rising lifestyle disease burden, and increasing health insurance penetration — provides structural tailwinds for the hospital sector

Cons

As an unlisted company, Lakeshore does not publicly disclose financial statements, making it impossible for investors to assess revenue growth, profitability, debt levels, or return on capital
The Kerala healthcare market is increasingly competitive, with major chains including Aster DM Healthcare, Amrita Institute, and Rajagiri Hospital expanding capacity and competing for specialists and patients
Hospital businesses are capital-intensive with high fixed costs in infrastructure, equipment, and specialist retention; any revenue shortfall during slow periods rapidly impacts margins
Kerala's high per-capita healthcare costs and strong organised labour movement create wage pressure for hospital staff, particularly nursing and paramedical workers
At ₹110 per share in the unlisted market, valuation multiples are difficult to benchmark without public financials; investors take on significant information asymmetry risk

Business Segments

Inpatient Services (IPD)

Tertiary and quaternary inpatient care across multiple specialties including cardiac surgery, oncology, transplantation, neurosciences, and orthopaedics. Revenue driven by bed occupancy, procedure mix, and payer profile.

Outpatient Services (OPD) & Diagnostics

High-volume outpatient consultations, diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, PET scan), pathology, and day-care procedures. Critical for patient acquisition and funnel management into inpatient services.

International Patient / Medical Tourism

Services to NRI patients (particularly Gulf diaspora) and international medical tourists leveraging Kochi's airport connectivity and VPS Healthcare's UAE network.

Revenue Model

Lakeshore Hospital generates revenue primarily from inpatient surgical and medical procedures, outpatient consultations, and diagnostic services across its multi-specialty facilities. Revenue is driven by a mix of private pay, health insurance (Mediclaim, CGHS, state insurance schemes), and international patient payments. The VPS Healthcare Group's UAE network provides an additional pipeline of high-value international patients seeking tertiary care in India at cost-effective rates.
