    SNSK's investment thesis favours creating an integrated portfolio of mature
businesses. The firm will also invest in select early stage U.S. and Indian companies,
where product, platform or talent will accelerate portfolio objectives. The focus areas
include hospitals, ambulatory, long term acute care, physician practice, information
exchanges, ACOs, self-funded and commercial insurers as well as insurance exchanges.

    Shiv Nadar, Chairman, HCL and Mentor, SNSK, said, "The U.S. healthcare industry is
undergoing radical transformation with the Affordable Care Act. Evolving thought and
business models have little semblance to present mechanisms. Over the next five years,
SNSK aspires to be an engine of accelerating digital solutions that would make patient
care more accountable, efficient, predictable and effective. I am delighted to join hands
with Sanjay and Mahesh in this exciting journey."

    Talking on the strategic approach of the new entity, SNSK Chairman, Sanjay Kalra said,
"SNSK is an operating team with Capital. Our relationship capital, trust and Shiv as a
mentor are the most valuable elements we bring to our portfolio companies. We will support
management teams to unlock value in their companies through our entrepreneurial passion,
engineering heritage and global operating experience."

    SNSK Managing Director, Mahesh Nagaraj added "The firm intends to realize synergies
across its portfolio and rigorously explore growth in new markets. SNSK's operational
expertise, cost discipline, India based R&D capability and cutting-edge technology
adoption will support businesses in achieving their potential."
