Even Healthcare Strengthens Leadership Bench with Key Role Elevations Across Hospital and Business Verticals
SUMMARY
Bengaluru, India, 17 February 2026: Even Healthcare, one of India’s leading integrated managed care providers, has announced a series of leadership elevations across its hospital and business verticals. The appointments underscore Even’s focus on building long-term institutional leadership, strengthening execution across functions, and creating sustained growth pathways for senior talent within the organisation.
As part of the leadership transitions, Animesh Roy has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, Even Hospitals, reinforcing Even’s commitment to scaling its hospital network with operational rigour and patient-first outcomes. In his expanded role, Animesh will lead strategy, growth, and day-to-day operations across Even’s hospital entities, as the company continues to deepen its care delivery footprint.
In a move that reflects Even’s distinctive approach to clinical leadership, Dr. Chandrika Kambam has been elevated to Director of Balloon Healthcare Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Even, responsible for all healthcare delivery at Even Hospitals. The appointment is notable within the healthcare ecosystem, where doctors are rarely positioned at the helm of institutional governance. Dr. Chandrika’s elevation reinforces Even’s belief that clinical excellence and organisational leadership must go hand in hand to deliver consistently better patient outcomes.
Further strengthening the company’s commercial leadership, Chandan Kumar has been elevated to Chief Business Officer, Even, where he will oversee revenue growth, partnerships, and go-to-market strategy across Even’s offerings. His appointment reflects the company’s focus on building durable, scalable business engines alongside care innovation.
Speaking on the announcement, Mayank Banerjee, Co-founder, Even Healthcare commented “Even is what it is today because of the people who built it with us. Animesh, Dr. Chandrika, and Chandan have been at the heart of how we deliver care and central to our journey for years. They helped build Even into what it has become, and they are the right people to lead what comes next. Our growth has always been a reflection of our team’s strength. That’s exactly how we intend to keep building.”
The leadership transitions come at a time of rapid growth for Even Healthcare, as the company expands its integrated care model across health benefits, hospitals, and clinical services. By elevating leaders from within, Even aims to signal stability, depth, and opportunity both to investors and to professionals looking to build enduring careers in healthcare.
With these appointments, Even Healthcare continues to strengthen its leadership bench while reinforcing its culture of ownership, cross-functional growth, and long-term value creation.
