HYDERABAD: City-based NephroPlus, a kidney care clinics chain, will set up 40 of its proposed 100 dialysis centres in North India over the next three years, a senior official said today.

"From the present seven kidney care clinics, we are expanding our operations, and will set up 100 kidney care and dialysis clinics across the country. Of these, 40 will come up in North India," NephroPlus Founder and CEO Vikram Vuppala told reporters here.

NephroPlus, in the meanwhile, announced that Dr Brian J G Pereira is joining its board as a director.

The company, which received first round of funding from venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners last year, was now looking forward for right partnerships towards its plan of setting up the 100 centres, he said.

Vuppala declined to give investment details.

NephroPlus will have standalone clinics as well as in tie-up with leading hospitals, he added.
