The elevation comes at a time when recovery care is gaining long-overdue attention
HCAH has appointed its Co-Founders, Dr Gaurav Thukral and Ankit Goel, as Co-Presidents.
Aditya Burman, Non-Executive Director, HCAH, said, “This leadership transition reflects our confidence in the direction HCAH is taking. Dr Thukral and Ankit have led the company with a steady balance of clinical insight and operational strength. Their elevation comes at a time when recovery care is gaining long-overdue attention. HCAH is helping bring to India what has long been considered a luxury abroad—high-quality, structured rehabilitation—and making it part of our domestic reality. It’s an important step as we continue to strengthen recovery as an essential part of the healthcare journey.”
Dr Gaurav Thukral, Co-Founder and President, HCAH, said, “Our mission is clear—make the new clinical benchmark. We’re building India’s largest PMR (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation)-led recovery hospital network, supported by over 1,500 rehabilitation specialists and designed with one goal: structured recovery across every condition, geography, and age group. These aren’t just facilities—they’re transformation hubs where patients regain function, independence, and hope. Recovery is not an afterthought. It’s the future of healthcare.”
Ankit Goel, Co-Founder & President, HCAH, said, “India’s recovery challenge is enormous and growing. With 1.7 million strokes, 1.5 million joint replacements, and a rapidly expanding ageing population, the need for structured recovery is urgent. Yet, the current system remains fragmented, informal, and inaccessible to millions. HCAH is answering this call with clinical precision, operational scale, and technology-driven delivery models. We’re not just raising standards. We’re resetting them.”
Sunil Thakur, Partner, Quadria Capital, HCAH, added, “HCAH has built a new category and, more importantly, it has built confidence among patients, families, and healthcare partners. It shows that structured recovery in India can be scientific, accessible, and outcome-driven at scale. As the only institution developing a hospital-grade recovery network in the country, HCAH is helping to reshape how care is delivered. This leadership transition helps set the stage for its next chapter of growth and trust.”
