Hospital consulting for the towns Kolkata firms don’t visit.

Durgapur · Burdwan · Barasat · Bolpur · Malda · Dhanbad · Deoghar

Sahyog runs and turns around hospitals in the West Bengal–Jharkhand belt — tier-2 towns with promoter-run trusts, thin consulting benches and a lot riding on Swasthya Sathi and PM-JAY collections.

Most healthcare consultancies in India work out of Gurgaon or Mumbai and fly in for a workshop. We are an hour or two’s drive from most of the hospitals we advise. That shows up in ordinary things — a purchase committee that actually meets on Wednesdays, a nurse roster checked on the floor, not on a slide.

Where the work happens

Not a service area on a map. These are towns we have actually driven to.

Durgapur HOME BASE

Sahyog is headquartered here. Commissioned the 300-bed Mission Hospital in 2008 — West Bengal’s first corporate super-speciality hospital outside Kolkata, break-even in 11 months. Led Healthworld Hospital as SVP for nine years and brought Akhil Systems HMIS to the state in 2017.

Burdwan ACTIVE MANDATE

Turnaround engagement at Bengal Cancer Foundation — pharmacy governance, vendor rate discipline, nursing and OT process, and the Swasthya Sathi claims pipeline. On-site work, not a quarterly review.

Barasat IN DEVELOPMENT

An 80-bed Kalpataru-BCF cancer hospital on a 30-year institutional lease — Sahyog on the pre-launch roadmap and viability work.

Bolpur · Malda · Sonamukhi BUSINESS PLANNING

Three closed Glocal Group hospitals changing hands, with Sahyog working the operating plan and capex for the incoming investors.

Dhanbad & Deoghar JHARKHAND

Ongoing conversations with SJAS Multi Speciality Hospital and Aria Healthcare — the same tier-2 pattern across the state line.

What we do

Seven service lines. Most engagements combine two or three of them.

Greenfield hospital commissioning
Planning through stabilisation — layout, department setup, vendor finalisation, SOPs, manpower planning, HIS selection, launch readiness.
Promoters and trusts entering West Bengal or Jharkhand
Operational audit & turnaround
A structured review of operations, financials and process, followed by a prioritised fix list with hands-on implementation — not a report that sits in a drawer.
Hospitals with falling occupancy, weak EBITDA, or day-to-day friction
NABH / JCI accreditation preparation
Gap assessment through mock survey. Built as real operational compliance — staff competency and quality culture, not a documentation exercise.
Nursing homes moving up to hospital status, first-time NABH applicants
Advisory retainer
A monthly sounding board on strategy and operations, with regular site visits and calls whenever something comes up.
Growing hospitals, absentee promoters, facilities between senior hires
Interim CEO / COO / administrator
Full-time or near full-time leadership through a transition, a vacancy, or a crisis, with real operational authority.
Hospitals between CEOs, post-acquisition handovers
TPA / Swasthya Sathi / PM-JAY / ECHS / CGHS empanelment & claims
Empanelment plus ongoing claims management, query resolution, and chasing down what’s actually owed.
Hospitals not yet empanelled, high rejection rates, large outstanding receivables
Doctors & paramedical staff supply
Nurses and RMOs sourced directly from nursing and medical colleges, matched to the hospital’s specialty mix.
New hospitals and tier-2 facilities where local talent is thin

Why Sahyog, and not someone from Kolkata or Gurgaon

—  Founder-led. You deal with the two of us directly, not a junior associate reading from our deck.
—  Based in Durgapur — we know the West Bengal and Jharkhand market because we have worked inside it for decades, not studied it from outside.
—  Outcomes you can check: Mission Hospital broke even in 11 months; Healthworld was run for nine years, not a two-year stint before moving on.
—  First firm to bring Akhil Systems HMIS to West Bengal, at Healthworld in 2017.
—  Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. No cost to find out if we’re a fit.

FROM THE FIELD — BURDWAN

Pharmacy governance at a cancer hospital doesn’t get fixed by writing a policy. It gets fixed when someone sits with the purchase committee, the vendors and the accounts team in the same week and makes the rate contract, the GRN-linked payment, and the “no bonus-scheme pricing” rule all land at once.

That’s the kind of work we actually do — on-site, with named owners and dates, not a slide deck left behind after a two-day visit.
