PB Fintech, which owns Policybazaar, is investing about ₹10,000 crore in PB Health, a new hospital chain. It plans 500 hospitals across 50 cities, focused on preventive care instead of more admissions. Two hospitals already run in Delhi-NCR. For business owners, this signals insurer-run healthcare could change how claims, hospital bills and treatment choices work.
