Healthcare represents one of the most critical and complex segments of the US economy, accounting for 17.1% of nominal GDP
and totalling US$4.7trn (₹389.6trn) in 2023, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This reflects a CAGR
of 5.0% from 2014 to 2023. Notably, healthcare spending peaked at 19.4% of GDP during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, reaching
US$4.1trn (₹346.0 trn).
Looking ahead, CMS projects healthcare expenditures to grow at a CAGR of 5.5%, reaching US$6.1trn (₹509.8trn) by 2028. US
continues to lead globally in per capita healthcare spending, which stood at ~US$14,570 (as of 2023 as per CMS data), making up
around 17.6% of the nation's GDP.

6. Physician Burnout & Workforce Shortages: Increased demand and extended work hours have caused stress and
resignations, leading to projected shortages in critical healthcare roles by 2025.
7. Rising Costs: Per capita healthcare spending is expected to rise from $12,530 in 2020 to $20,425 by 2031, driven by high-
intensity care needs and systemic inefficiencies.
8. Shift to Home-Based Care: Accelerated by the pandemic, home care is gaining traction as a cost-effective and patient-
friendly model, projected to become a $272bn market by 2026.
US Payer market is the most mature market with more than 90% insurance penetration & the top 18 players controlling up to 70%
of the total market. The payers operational spend market in 2023 is calculated to around $200 bn of which ~22% is currently
outsourced which comes to ~$45 bn. This market is expected to grow at ~7% CAGR.
US Provider market on the other hand is highly fragmented market with around 900k physicians & rapidly consolidating. This
segment forms ~$1.5tn of the total healthcare spending. Of this, ~15% accounts for administrative expenses accounting to
~$225bn of which ~15.6% is currently outsourced summing up to $35bn. This market is expected to grow at a much higher CAGR
of ~16% driven by consolidation in the industry.
We have analysed Sagility and IKS as two prominent players operating within the expansive US healthcare landscape, with
Sagility focused on the payer side and IKS on the provider side. While Sagility does have a presence in the provider segment
through its Revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions, this segment currently contributes less than 10% to its overall
revenues. The company’s management has indicated that this contribution is unlikely to exceed 20% over the next 2–3 years,
as the provider segment is not a core strategic priority. That said, the provider market being more fragmented than the payer
space—offers relatively easier entry opportunities for players with strong capabilities and technology platforms.

➢ US spends significantly more on healthcare than other large, wealthy OECD countries but has worse health outcomes.
While much attention is given to high prescription drug costs and insurer profits, administrative costs are a major driver
of this spending gap.
➢ In 2021, US spent $925 per person on health administration, compared to an average of $245 in comparable countries
— a difference of $680 per person, accounting for 12% of the total spending gap. Administrative costs in the US include
the overhead of private insurers, as well as costs related to government health programs like Medicare and Medicaid but
exclude provider administrative costs.
➢ From 2013 to 2021, administrative spending was responsible for 7% of the total growth in US healthcare spending, more
than double its contribution to growth in peer countries (3%).
➢ Despite spending more, administrative complexity in the US often results in inefficiencies. Patients experience delays in
care, higher out-of-pocket costs and dissatisfaction, while providers face burdensome billing systems and complex
insurance requirements.
➢ While lowering drug prices (as targeted by the Inflation Reduction Act) may help, reducing excessive administrative
overhead is critical for achieving cost efficiency and better outcomes in the US healthcare system.

Domain expertise differentiates Sagility & IKS from other business models
Unlike generic IT service providers that typically offer standalone solutions and leave clients to realize the benefits independently,
firms like Sagility take a more embedded, operations-first approach. Rather than presenting generalized technologies like GenAI
and expecting clients to define use cases, it already manages core operations for its clients. This allows it to pilot, validate and scale
innovations such as automation and AI directly within existing workflows, ensuring solutions are practical, healthcare-specific and
deliver immediate, measurable value.
IKS, while often perceived as a product-focused company, has strategically evolved by integrating its capabilities into a unified
platform. Through offerings like performance underwriting and strategic investments, it embeds itself deeply within client
operations. This approach reflects its commitment to being an integrated, value-driven partner, setting it apart from conventional
service providers.
Premium tax credits were created under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to help lower-income individuals and families afford health
insurance purchased through the Marketplace. These credits reduce monthly premium costs based on income. Originally, they
were available to those earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL).
More recently, the American Rescue Plan Act introduced enhanced premium tax credits that increased the amount of these tax
credits and also expanded eligibility to households with an annual income over 400% of the federal poverty limit ($103,280 for a
family of three signing up for coverage in 2025), capping their out-of-pocket premiums for a benchmark plan at 8.5% of income.
Since the introduction of the enhanced premium tax credits, enrollment in the ACA Marketplaces has soared, more than doubling
from 11.4mn people in 2020 to 24.3mn people in 2025. The enhanced premium tax credits were originally set to expire at the end
of 2022 but were then extended as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
➢ Net premiums (what individuals pay) may increase by over 75% on average.
➢ Gross premiums are expected to rise as healthier individuals drop coverage due to higher net costs. The CBO estimates
benchmark silver premiums will be 7.9% higher, as the risk pool becomes sicker and more people lose coverage.
➢ 23 insurers across DC, Oregon, Vermont and Washington have already built this expected increase into their 2026 rate
filings.
➢ As premiums rise, younger and healthier individuals are more likely to drop out, leaving a sicker and costlier insured
population, further pushing premiums upward.
The ACA Marketplaces have seen historic enrollment levels since the introduction of enhanced premium tax credits—growing
from 11.4mn enrollees in 2020 to over 24mn in 2025. Much of this growth has been attributed to the improved affordability
resulting from the expanded subsidies.
1. Insurer Retrenchment: Medicaid funding cuts and rising administrative burdens may prompt insurers to exit less
profitable markets or reduce expansion efforts, as seen in UnitedHealthcare and Centene discussions.
2. Operational Strain on State Medicaid Programs: States must upgrade systems to handle complex biannual eligibility
checks and documentation, which may overwhelm under-resourced Medicaid agencies.
3. Rural Healthcare Collapse Risk: With significant funding losses and ongoing financial pressures, many rural hospitals may
face staffing cuts, reduced services, or closure, particularly in states dependent on Medicaid revenue.
4. Administrative Outsourcing Demand: The increased complexity in Medicaid administration could drive demand for
outsourced eligibility verification, documentation and workflow automation, representing growth opportunities for
third-party vendors.

IKS was established in 2006 with headquarter in Mumbai, it is a technology-enabled healthcare solutions provider and offer a care
enablement platform assisting physician enterprises in the US, addressing financial, clinical, and operational needs. With delivery
centers across the US, India, Canada and Australia, IKS Health supports healthcare providers in delivering quality care, improving
population health and transitioning to value-based care while optimizing revenue and reducing costs.
As of March 2025, IKS Ltd serves ~700 healthcare organizations, including health systems, academic medical centers, medical
groups and ancillary healthcare providers. Notable clients include Mass General Brigham Inc., Texas Health Care PLLC, and The GI
Alliance Management.
With a global workforce of over 12,661 employees, including 2,294 clinically trained professionals, IKS is positioned as a trusted
partner for healthcare organizations navigating the shift towards efficient, value-based care.
IKS Health has built a truly differentiated position in the healthcare enablement ecosystem through its tech-led, human-in-the-
loop care enablement platform. Unlike most players that offer isolated solutions, IKS has developed the only platform globally
that delegates and solves the full spectrum of physician-support chores with 16 services identified across the clinical, operational
and administrative gamut.
Over the past 18 years, IKS has combined proprietary technology with a deep pool of global human capital to create a vertically
integrated solution that enables physicians to focus on care delivery while offloading non-core, repetitive and compliance-driven
tasks which helps physicians saves 30-50% of their time, which can be redirected toward seeing more patients.
In contrast, many other companies in the space are point-solution vendors, focusing on solving one or two problems or at most,
four to five without offering a holistic view. While these solutions might be “best-in-class” in isolation, they place the burden of
integration, orchestration and value realization on the physician enterprise. This fragmented approach creates friction, inefficiency
and incremental cost for buyers who are now beginning to recognize that platform solutions drive better outcomes than stitching
together a patchwork of tools.
As market maturity progresses, buyer behaviour is shifting from fragmented point solutions to integrated platform offerings.
IKS is strategically positioned to benefit from this evolution, already serving early adopters who embrace this new model. While
competitive intensity is expected to rise, often backed by capital-rich new entrants, most of these players remain limited in scope
and depth. IKS stands out by offering a comprehensive, scalable and operationally embedded platform that not only addresses
today’s inefficiencies but is also designed to evolve with the future of physician enablement. IKS is not just another vendor, it is a
strategic partner delivering end-to-end enablement and proven execution, making it uniquely positioned in an increasingly
crowded and fragmented marketplace.
Investment Thesis
As physician enterprises mature, they are increasingly focusing on their core mission, delivering patient care while outsourcing
non-core administrative "chores". These chore tasks ranging from clinical documentation to revenue cycle functions which
represent nearly 15% of physician revenue, translating to a $225bn total addressable market (TAM). Factors like increasing
elderly population, surging chronic illness, matured insurance market, etc will drive this growth. US has the highest per capita
healthcare spend at ~$14,570 and accounts to about 17.6% of US GDP as per CMS data.
Private Practice Hospital Owned Private Equity Owned Direct Hospital Employee Other
IKS TAM is set to grow beyond the current $225bn as new features and task clusters are continuously co-developed with clients.
Currently, 2–3 such features are in active development, particularly within the evolving value-based care space, shifting from risk
and quality optimization to total cost of care management. Emerging areas like care coordination, transition of care, risk
stratification and asynchronous order entry are expanding the platform’s relevance. With 3–4 new features expected over the
next 24–36 months, IKS is well-positioned to unlock incremental market opportunities and capture a larger share of this growing
market. Currently, the outsourced market accounts for ~$35 bn implying an outsourcing penetration of ~15.6%. We expect this
piece of the market to grow at a ~12% CAGR to reach $55 bn by FY28 driven by ~120 bps of increased penetration in outsourcing
& unlocking new services areas.
Currently, IKS has a market share of < 1% which shows the scope & opportunity of growth in the industry driven by digital
transformation in healthcare. As the only player in the industry to provide end-to-end integrated technology solutions, IKS is
uniquely positioned to capitalise on this opportunity. This creates multiple advantages and value proposition as scale unlocks
efficiencies, it also supports the land & expand strategy of the company as the additional cost of deploying incremental solution
is lower for both IKS and its client. Additionally, with each new service added, clients benefit from greater synergies and cost
optimization, making IKS an increasingly strategic partner. Most importantly, clients prefer working with a single, trusted partner
who can meet a broader scope of their needs, driving stickiness and long-term value creation.

Cross-Selling Opportunities: The acquisition has enabled IKS to unlock cross-selling potential by gaining access to Aquity’s large
and established outpatient client base of 450+ enterprise-level clients out of a total 804. In parallel, IKS is also introducing Aquity’s
documentation and coding services to its own customer network, creating reciprocal revenue opportunities and deepening client
engagement across both platforms. As part of its strategic focus on profitability, IKS is actively rationalizing its client portfolio,
phasing out smaller, non-profitable accounts. Consequently, the total client base has reduced from ~850 to ~700 as of March
2025, with expectations to stabilize at 600–650 clients. Full integration benefits are expected to become evident by FY27, offering
a clearer picture of scale-driven efficiency and revenue synergy.
Expansion into Inpatient Care: With Aquity’s deep expertise in inpatient clinical documentation, medical coding and medico-legal
documentation, IKS is now well-positioned to:
Holistic Care Enablement: This move allows IKS to provide comprehensive, end-to-end solutions across the care continuum,
making it a more strategic partner to health systems. Improved outpatient access, when combined with seamless inpatient service
delivery, enhances care coordination and unlocks greater revenue potential for integrated provider organizations.

able to maintain & increase the revenue share of clients availing 4+ solutions. In FY24, ~48% revenue came from this category,
up 400 bps. Addition of 450+ enterprise level clientele of Aquity amplifies this opportunity.
(B). Strategic investment in WWMG MSO LLC to accelerate adoption of platform via proof of efficiencies & builing long-term
relationships with customers & co-ownership of benefits derived
Evolving the IKS Engagement Model (IKS 3.0)
To accelerate platform adoption and deepen value creation, IKS has introduced three distinct client engagement models:
sets this apart is Palomar’s full adoption of IKS’s 16-feature Care Enablement Platform from day one, unlocking deep operational
and financial transformation.
In a first-of-its-kind value-sharing structure, IKS has advanced $16.5mn upfront, with the first tranche of economic value created
flowing entirely to IKS, followed by a tiered 50-50 and then higher-share benefit to Palomar. The total value expected to be
created is projected to be many multiples of the $16.5mn, enabling rapid payback and significant margin expansion over time.
This deal reflects strong client conviction, deep platform integration and the potential to drive non-linear value creation beyond
traditional margins.
• Revenue Split: ~63% of the group's total revenue flows to the MSO to manage operational costs and platform services,
while ~37% supports physician compensation.
• Strategic Intent: The investment capital is entirely directed towards growth initiatives—not physician liquidity events, as
is common in private equity transactions.
• Timeframe: The structure was developed over 6–12 months in close collaboration with WWMG physicians.
Marquee clientele with huge headroom for growth. Strong brand value & ‘land & expand’ approach results in customer
stickiness
IKS’s top 10 clients have $100M+ ACV potential, with the largest exceeding $300M, supporting land-and-expand growth. As of
FY25, the top 10 clients contribute to ~$108mn out of the total ~$1.2bn opportunity in the top 10 clients itself.

Aquity’s acquisition has been an inflection point for de-risking due to reduced concentration of revenues from top-10 clients from
68% in FY22 to 35% in FY25 while maintaining the growth in terms of absolute revenues from these clients. The average revenues
from the top-10 clients grew at a ~21% CAGR during FY22-FY25. The non top-10 client average revenues per clients stood at ~₹9cr
which dipped to ~₹1cr post Aquity acquisition due to addition of many small size & non-revenue generating clientele. With the
curtailment efforts and cross-selling strategies, the average realisations have improved to ~₹3cr & we expect this growth to be
faster and quicker than the top-10 basket. This is justified with the management expectation of 80%+ of the overall growth derived
from existing customer expansion.
IKS has been able to successfully deploy its “Land & Expand” strategy & hosts marquee clients. Its brand value reflects through
98%+ revenues being derived from repeat clients consistently for last three financial years. For each new client engagement, IKS
adopts a tailored approach—beginning with a deep understanding of the client’s specific needs, such as revenue optimization or
clinical documentation. Based on these initial priorities, IKS delivers targeted solutions that address immediate challenges.
Over time, IKS strategically expands its presence within the client organization by identifying opportunities to cross-sell and up-
sell additional services from its broader provider enablement platform. This expansion approach is particularly effective with large
enterprise clients that have a wider geographic footprint, larger employee base and higher net worth or annual revenues.
IKS’s pivot from selling individual features to offering integrated clinical and administrative bundles has significantly increased
client stickiness. With nine features in the clinical bundle and seven in the administrative bundle, clients typically adopt one
bundle and then expand usage by selectively adding from the other, driving deep platform integration. This approach not only
enhances value delivery but also creates high switching costs and long-term engagement, reinforcing IKS’s position as a strategic
partner rather than a point-solution vendor.
• Palomar Health ($1bn health system): Signed a 15-year full-platform deal covering revenue optimization, clinical support
and value-based care. IKS has guaranteed $16.5mn in upfront value with a gain-share model beyond, creating strong margin
upside and long-term stickiness.
• Radiology Partners ($3.5B revenue, 3,000+ radiologists): Strategic partnership to build a Virtual Radiology Assistant (VRA)
platform. The model can improve productivity by 25–30%, with potential $600–700mn annual value creation. Deal expected
to evolve into a JV for wider market deployment.
• Western Washington Medical Group: Initial engagement on revenue cycle management, with rapid expansion into other IKS
platform features, reinforcing cross-sell opportunity in large independent medical groups.

IKS has embedded GenAI across its platform, driving significant advances in automation and efficiency. From Scribble Now—its
ambient listening and transcription tool—to autonomous medical coding and patient credential clearance (prior authorization),
GenAI is enabling faster, scalable and more accurate solutions. It has enhanced denial prediction and prevention in revenue cycle
management and even nudged patient behaviour to improve both clinical and financial outcomes. This shift from human-led to
tech-led execution is accelerating implementation timelines, improving scalability, and expanding margins.
Financial Performance
The revenues for the company have grown at ~38% CAGR from FY20-25 from ₹529 cr to ₹2,264 cr Going forward, we expect the
growth to normalise slightly at ~20% CAGR to reach ₹4,554 cr in FY28. While during FY20-23 the EBITDA margins grew by 800 bps
to ~38% in FY23 dropping back down to ~29% in FY24 & FY25 on account of acquisition of Aquity which had onshore employees
and inefficient clientele. Now with IKS’s strategic efforts of offshoring & client curtailment, we see the integration bearing fruits
and the margins to improve from here onwards. We expect the margins to grow by ~400-500 bps between FY25-28. This will drive
the EBITDA growth at ~26% CAGR.

Further, we expect the cash conversion ratio to improve to 70%+ over the forecast period resulting in reduction of the
debt which was drawn for financing the Aquity acquisition.
In terms of efficiencies, we expect the working capital cycle to remain stable at ~60 days. While, on the employees’ front, the
revenue growth is expected to outpace employee growth due to implementation of AI. This will result in sharp improvement in
the revenue per employee indicating efficiencies.
Risks:
Regulatory Risk
The company operates in a highly regulated US healthcare market and is subject to various laws and regulations related to data
protection & HIPAA Act. Any non-compliance of these can adversely affect the company’s reputation & business in the US. Further,
any change in regulation or laws may hamper the outsourcing growth or affect the profitability of the company in case of additional
compliance requirements. Any changes in the healthcare regulations may affect the industry as a whole slowing down the growth
of the industry.
Competition Risk
The company faces competition from the local players and many other companies offering point solutions. Currently, the company
is the only player with integrated end-to-end solutions, however, with rapid consolidation happening in the industry, competition
can get intense with more and more players adding capabilities via acquisitions. Further, players like Sagility, which have limited
presence in providers market but big presence in payer market can find it easier to penetrate the fragmented provider market &
leverage the business synergies.
Execution Risk
The company has made several acquisitions & till date has been successfully able to integrate its operations. However, with new
strategic changes in business models like the Palomar & WWMG deal, the company is exposed to execution risks in context of
these contracts & investments. Any failure to deliver the promised performances may result in huge financial losses & dent on
reputation.
Outlook:
We believe IKS holds immense long-term potential in the US based provider’s market. The strategic initiatives by the company
to improve client relationship longevity along with expansions through acquisitions on client’s front & capabilities further
cements its position in the market. Marquee promoters, superior margins & the only company having such an integrated end-
to-end offering are some qualitative factors that justifies valuation premium. We initiate coverage with a “BUY”
recommendation with a TP of ₹2,285 indicating 44% upside from the CMP, implying 35x FY28 PE.

Sagility is a technology-enabled, pure-play healthcare business process outsourcing (BPO) provider focused exclusively on the US
healthcare market. Originally part of the Hinduja group, the business was acquired by Baring Private Equity Asia in January 2022
for $1.2bn, through a leveraged buyout. The company delivers from multiple geographies, US is the onshore geography and
offshore spanning India, Philippines, Jamaica and Colombia. Despite being a relatively new standalone entity, Sagility builds on
over 25 years of operational experience. It delivers a wide range of services to US payers (insurance companies), providers
(hospitals and clinics) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), across functions such as benefits administration, clinical services
and revenue cycle management. With a global delivery footprint across five countries and long-standing client relationships—
some exceeding 18 years—Sagility is positioned as a strategic partner driving efficiency and innovation across the healthcare
value chain.

Sagility operates a multi-shore delivery model with services provided from 31 locations across five countries: the US, Colombia,
Jamaica, India and Philippines. All client contracts are executed through Sagility’s US subsidiaries. Services are delivered by
employees in India and those employed by Sagility’s subsidiaries.
Revenue Model
Sagility generates revenue from providing services to Payer and Provider clients, using three primary commercial models:
• Time-Based: Billing is based on hourly or monthly rates for employee time (FTE).
• Transaction-Based: Revenue is tied to transaction volume (e.g., number of claims processed).
• Outcome-Based: Fees depend on measurable results, such as collections or recovery of overpayments, etc.
Investment Thesis
The US healthcare industry is massive, with a total spend of ~$4.7trn in 2023, accounting for over 17% of GDP which is expected
to rise to 18% by 2028. With per capita spending of ~$14,570 in 2023, the US tops global healthcare expenditure, nearly 50%
higher than the next country. Within this, the core operational spend across Payers and Providers stands at ~$200bn in CY23 and
is projected to reach $259bn by 2028. Key drivers include an aging population, rising chronic conditions, ongoing staffing shortages
and regulatory complexity, all of which are pushing healthcare enterprises to outsource more non-core functions.
In 2023, the outsourcing penetration in healthcare operations stood at 21.5–23.5%, translating to an outsourced spend of ~$45bn.
This market is expected to grow at a CAGR over CY23-28 of 8.7%, with Provider outsourcing accelerating faster (12.5% CAGR) than
the Payer segment (7.0% CAGR). Within this space, Sagility’s market share is below 2% currently despite growing higher than the
industry growth over the years. We believe there is still a huge headroom for growth given the size of the industry, Sagility’s
expertise in the domain and long-standing relationship with the top 5 clients.
Outsourcing in the US healthcare sector is gaining momentum as clients face rising cost pressures and look to offload non-core
functions traditionally managed in-house. These financial constraints are accelerating the shift toward third-party service
providers like Sagility, who not only offer cost-effective delivery from the outset but also bring operational efficiencies over time.
Such dynamics are prompting more active discussions with existing clients, as organizations increasingly prioritize scalable,
efficient solutions to manage ongoing budget challenges.
As a specialist healthcare service provider, Sagility brings over two decades of experience supporting both Payers and Providers.
With a team of 2,000+ healthcare-trained professionals (across nursing, medical coding, pharmacy, therapy and more) and
mandatory healthcare training for all employees, Sagility ensures its workforce is well-equipped to handle industry-specific
challenges.
Winning a new client in the healthcare BPO space is challenging due to high entry barriers driven by the need for proven domain
expertise. Clients are outsourcing critical day-to-day operations and cannot afford operational disruptions, making them cautious
and selective. The decision to offshore, despite its cost advantages, involves risk, especially in regulated environments like
healthcare. As a result:
Sagility views mergers and acquisitions (M&A) as a strategic lever to build capabilities, expand its client base—especially in the
mid-market segment and accelerate growth. Its M&A approach focuses on two primary areas:
1. Capability-Driven Acquisitions
o Targeting companies that bring deep domain expertise or technology differentiation, such as AI or payment
integrity tools.
o Goal: Enhance Sagility’s offerings in areas like GenAI, clinical operations and claims management.
Sagility aims to reduce revenue concentration from its top 5 clients (currently ~80%) to 60–65% over the next 2–3 years through
these strategic acquisitions.
Key Acquisitions
Sagility completed the acquisition of Devlin Consulting Inc. (DCI) in April 2023. DCI is a 28-year-old company specializing in payment
integrity (PI) services for US healthcare payers. Its proprietary “Contract Central” platform serves as a secondary adjudication
engine, enabling identification of overpayments and effective claims reprocessing. Through this acquisition, Sagility significantly
enhanced its precision PI offerings, adding strength in both pre-payment cost avoidance and post-payment recovery services. The
acquisition expanded Sagility’s reach into regional and national health plans, opening up new opportunities and reinforcing its
positioning as a comprehensive PI solutions partner.
In March 2024, Sagility acquired BirchAI, a healthcare technology firm known for its cloud-based Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities.
BirchAI offers real-time customer support automation powered by domain-specific natural language processing (NLP) models. Key
features include speech-to-text conversion, call summarization, classification and trend detection, which improve engagement
outcomes for members and providers. The acquisition strengthens Sagility’s AI Center of Excellence and adds advanced capabilities
in fraud, waste & abuse (FWA) detection, clinical reviews and decision support. This move allows Sagility to more deeply integrate
GenAI into its operations, enhancing both cost efficiency and client transformation efforts.
Later in 2024, Sagility acquired BroadPath Healthcare Solutions, a Tucson-based healthcare services company focused on payer
and provider operations, especially in the mid-market space. This acquisition supports Sagility’s strategic goal to diversify its client
base beyond large enterprise clients by gaining access to over 30 mid-market customers, many of whom had not previously
outsourced. BroadPath brought new capabilities in member acquisition and enrollment services, particularly in Medicare and
Medicaid segments, enriching Sagility’s service portfolio.
BroadPath also contributed Bhive, a proprietary remote-work platform built pre-COVID that enhances employee engagement and
operational metrics in a virtual setup. Bhive is being integrated across Sagility’s delivery geographies and merged with its GenAI
stack to boost efficiency. The acquisition, funded entirely through internal cash was EPS accretive from the date of acquisition and
added 1,600 employees to Sagility’s workforce. Expected synergies include cross-sell opportunities, SG&A rationalization and
vendor consolidation, which are projected to enhance margins by 50–70bps over the next 2–3 years to ~24.2% by FY28E. The
acquisition also increased Sagility’s presence among the top 10 US payers and introduced a high-performing client-facing team
into its operations.
Below are the capabilities and the strategic value or synergies derived from Sagility’s recent acquisitions:
Deep client partnerships driving growth through cross-sell and upsell opportunities
Sagility has built deep, long-standing relationships with leading US healthcare Payers and Providers. As of March 2025, the
company served 6 of the top 10 US payers by enrolment (1 added from Broadpath acquisition), 3 of the top 6 pharmacy benefits
managers (PBMs) by claims volume and one of the largest hospital networks by revenue. Its top five client groups had an average
relationship tenure of ~18 years as of March 2025, reflecting high client stickiness and satisfaction. An important thing to note
here is that the payer market is consolidated (top 18 hold 70% share), unlike the fragmented provider market.
Sagility follows a land-and-expand strategy, typically beginning client engagements with a specific service such as claims processing
and gradually expanding across the healthcare value chain, including areas like enrolment and utilization management. Sagility
focuses on large clients who generally have 7–8 active scopes of work (SOWs), each managed by different decision-makers,
fostering strong, multi-layered relationships. Notably, the company has maintained its client base without any attrition due to
performance-related issues, underscoring its consistent delivery and operational excellence.
It also continues to onboard new clients while broadening services to existing ones, adding 38 (30 from Broadpath acquisition)
gross new clients in FY25. The number of active SOWs with its top five client groups increased from 337 in March 2022 to 358 by
June 2024. High service quality is maintained through robust SLAs, with a compliance rate of over 95% consistently across periods.
Client concentration

2023
The acquisition of BroadPath has proven to be a significant strategic milestone for Sagility, particularly in expanding its client
footprint within the mid-market segment. This move has opened up substantial opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling
Sagility’s broader portfolio of healthcare services to a diverse base of over 30 new clients. Furthermore, BroadPath’s established
capabilities in member acquisition—especially within the Medicare and Medicaid segments—add a valuable dimension to
Sagility’s offerings.
In addition to client synergies, the acquisition positions Sagility to benefit from ongoing consolidation trends within the healthcare
services industry. The company anticipates that these strategic advantages, combined with operational efficiencies, integration of
proprietary platforms like Bhive and cost rationalization—will contribute to an estimated 600–700bps acceleration in top-line
growth over the next two years.
Sagility has progressively evolved into a technology-driven healthcare BPO provider by developing and integrating a
comprehensive suite of proprietary platforms and digital solutions. The company strategically leverages automation, artificial
intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP) and generative AI (GenAI) across both front-office and
back-office functions to drive operational efficiency, cost savings and better client outcomes. Their proprietary tools support core
Payer and Provider operations, ranging from revenue cycle management to clinical decision-making and customer engagement.
Automation Robotic Process Used since 2015 to automate rule-based back-office processes like claims
Automation (RPA) management and provider data validation, helping reduce costs and improve
speed.
AI / Predictive Predictive Models Models built for overpayment prediction, claim error propensity and collection
Analytics optimization.
Natural Language STT + NLP / NLU Used for speech-to-text transcription, call intent identification, quality audits,
Tech and interactive analytics for engagement services.
Document Document Extracts and classifies data from structured/unstructured sources using OCR
Processing Processing Engine and NLP. Helps identify misrouted documents, duplicates, urgent cases and
routes them for appropriate action.
Clinical AI Nurse Assist Tool to summarize and annotate clinical documents, improving review speed
and accuracy. Assists in prior authorizations and clinical decision support.
Member Member Enables care coordinators and nurses to interact with members, track
Engagement Engagement progress on programs and deliver targeted interventions.
Platform
Provider Services Provider Forward™ Platform for provider data management and credentialing. Includes self-
service web portals for providers and workflow engines for Sagility teams.
Speech Analytics Speech Analytics Includes real-time call summarization, sentiment analysis, call deflection and
Suite next-best action recommendations.
Claims Adjudication Contract Central (via Detects overpayment by reprocessing claims using payer contracts and
DCI) compliance rules.
Enrolment Enrolment & Plan Automates end-to-end Member enrolment, quote generation, ID creation and
Automation Building Automation benefits plan design using third-party tools.
Revenue Cycle End-to-End RCM Manages provider claims, eligibility, order processing and payment collections.
Management (RCM) Platform Predicts claim collectability using ML and AI tools.
Proprietary Bhive (via Virtual engagement and monitoring platform to enhance work-from-home
Collaboration Tool BroadPath) operations, employee productivity and training in remote setups.
Sagility has strategically integrated Generative AI (GenAI) to enhance both client-facing and internal operations. Its application
spans front office functions, such as automating member and provider interactions and real-time call summarization and back-
office processes, including grievance and appeals, letter generation and fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) detection. GenAI has
significantly transformed clinical workflows, especially in summarizing and classifying medical records to support faster and more
accurate decisions by nurses and coders. Internally, Sagility also uses GenAI to streamline hiring, training and onboarding,
accelerating productivity and time-to-proficiency. The company’s AI Center of Excellence drives the development, deployment
and governance of these innovations, supported by the acquisition of BirchAI, which added domain-specific speech-to-text and
LLM capabilities to Sagility’s GenAI toolkit.
While full-scale automation of healthcare interactions remains constrained due to the complexity and fragmentation of systems,
GenAI is proving to be a powerful enabler of operational efficiency at Sagility. The company doesn't frame its impact merely in
terms of reducing contact center workload, but rather in terms of end-to-end process enhancement.
Take, for example, the claims management workflow. When a Provider receives a partial payment, it often triggers an
interaction—either a phone call, a chat, or a written appeal. While not all such interactions can be fully automated, Sagility has
already helped clients reduce the volume of these touchpoints by creating direct gateways between Payers and Providers,
rerouting or eliminating unnecessary interactions.
Where GenAI plays a transformative role is in the automation of high-frequency, repeatable elements of the interaction lifecycle.
The company is actively running pilots with clients to identify call drivers that are amenable to automation and early indications
suggest that up to 15–20% of interactions can be automated.
Beyond full automation, the real value lies in augmenting human productivity. GenAI is being leveraged for:
• Knowledge retrieval: Helping associates quickly access context-specific information across disparate systems.
• Real-time summarization: Reducing documentation time by auto-generating interaction summaries.
• Decision support: Assisting associates in making more informed responses during live interactions.
These improvements, while not eliminating the need for human intervention, significantly reduce the cognitive load and manual
effort, allowing associates to focus on higher-value tasks. The result is a material improvement in efficiency, faster turnaround
times and better client outcomes, all without compromising service quality in a highly regulated and complex industry. In essence,
while GenAI won’t fully replace human engagement, it is reshaping how work is done, driving both scalability and sustainability
across Sagility’s service lines.
Financials performance
Historically, after getting its independent identity, if we compare for full reported years, Sagility has grown its topline at a 15%
CAGR over FY23-25. We expect the growth to remain stable subject to new inorganic acquisitions like Broadpath. We model in
16% revenue CAGR over FY25-28 fueled by robust relationship with the existing clients and strong performance of sales and
marketing teams to win new logos. Also, with Broadpath acquisition, there is an incremental opportunity with the focus on small
and mid-market payer segment, where Sagility can provide end-to end offerings.
EBITDA has grown at a 12% CAGR during FY23-25, we expect this to grow at a 17% CAGR over FY25-28 primarily due to unlocking
of synergies & operational efficiencies (both tech-led initiatives and process improvements). However, the PAT will grow at a much
higher rate at 28% CAGR due to lower interest cost burdens from simultaneous repayment of loans from strong cashflow
generation & reduction in amortization of intangibles.

Outlook:
Sagility has established itself as a specialised leader in the US healthcare payer’s market. It operates in a highly consolidated
and mature market having deep relationships with 6 of the top 10 client. This markets, due to its consolidation & required
specialization is very difficult to enter for a new or broader IT based player. Sagility has 20+ years of experience & has huge
headroom to expand its market share. The company is also strategically targeting mid-tier markets with Broadpath acquisition
creating cross-selling opportunities. We initiate coverage with a “BUY” recommendation with a TP of ₹72 per share indicating
66% upside from the CMP, implying 30x FY28 PE.
