Birla Fertility & IVF has announced the acquisition of BabyScience IVF Clinics in a move valued at approximately ₹500 crore. This strategic acquisition, which marks Birla’s second significant deal in three months, will expand the company’s footprint to 50 clinics across India and reinforce its presence in the western region.
Avanti Birla, founder of Birla Fertility, shared that while the exact size of the deal was not disclosed, BabyScience will operate under a co-branded model, with existing staff continuing their roles. BabyScience, based in Bengaluru, operates 12 clinics across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Haryana, making Birla Fertility’s entry into these new states.
The acquisition aligns with Birla Fertility’s ambitious plan to grow to 100 clinics by FY28, supported by an investment exceeding ₹500 crore. The company also plans to explore international expansion, with potential targets including Southeast Asia and the Middle East, although domestic growth remains a priority for the next 15 months.
This acquisition follows Birla Fertility’s purchase of an 86% stake in ARMC IVF in Kerala earlier this year, adding seven clinics to its portfolio. The IVF industry in India is rapidly growing, driven by increased infertility rates and medical tourism. Analysts project the market to reach $1.45 billion by 2027, with a CAGR of 15-20%, and potentially exceed $5.05 billion by 2033.
Birla Fertility now boasts extensive experience, having conducted over 120,000 IVF cycles and treated more than 230,000 patients. The company’s strategy includes a blend of organic growth, acquisitions, and partnerships to meet its expansion goals.
