Anu Chandrasekhar - Healthcare Infrastructure Expert

Healthcare Infrastructure · Kochi, India

Anu Chandrasekhar.

I build hospitals.

From the first sketch to the day the doors open.

15 years. 50+ hospitals. 3 continents. But more than the numbers, it's the patients who will walk through those doors that drive every decision I make.

About

Anu Chandrasekhar

Founder & Managing Director, Hostech PMC Pvt. Ltd.

A distinguished professional in healthcare project management and hospital engineering, providing vision and strategic leadership for comprehensive healthcare facility development across India and internationally.

Driving excellence in medical facility planning - from initial feasibility studies and ROI analysis through to project handover and operational SOPs.

Ensuring strict compliance with global healthcare standards at every stage, so that each project moves from vision to reality with clarity and precision.

Overseeing complex engineering systems including MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing), HVAC, Medical Gas pipelines, and Biomedical equipment planning.

Every technical decision is made with patient safety and operational efficiency in mind - because in a hospital, the infrastructure is the treatment.

Advocating for modern architectural designs that go beyond functionality - incorporating tropical modernism, biophilic elements, and glass-and-steel elevations.

Creating healing environments that patients and staff actually want to be in, because the building itself should be part of the care.

Deep expertise in Indian and international accreditation standards including NABH and JCI - not as checkboxes, but as frameworks that save lives.

Providing guidance on Kerala building rules, fire safety applications, and standards including BIS, NBC, IE, and ASHRAE to ensure every project meets the highest benchmarks.

My Story

Not a CV. A journey.

My journey in healthcare infrastructure began with a deep understanding that the spaces we build for healing matter as much as the medicine practised within them. What started as engineering and healthcare roots in Kerala has grown into a practice that spans India and Africa - shaped by every hospital floor plan I've reviewed, every MEP system I've overseen, and every accreditation standard I've helped a team meet.

Early Career

Engineering & healthcare roots in Kerala. Building the foundation of knowledge that would shape a lifetime of work in medical infrastructure.

Founded Hostech PMC

India's leading hospital project management consultancy. A "one-roof" approach - from feasibility to handover. Caritas, Infant Jesus, Smita Hospital.

Africa Expansion

Taking healthcare infrastructure expertise to Chad, Africa. Expanding impact beyond borders, proving that good design knows no geography.

Today

Mentor, speaker, educator, builder. Regional Chief Warden under Kerala Civil Defence. CAHO masterclass conductor. Still learning, still building.

"The hospitals I build will outlive me. That's the point."

- Anu Chandrasekhar

I reside in Kochi with my wife, Rekha, and our three children. I'm also involved in HAM radio licensing and value the connections I've maintained since childhood. At the end of the day, I believe the best infrastructure is built by people who care about the people who'll use it.

What I Believe

The thinking behind the work

"A hospital is not a building. It is a promise to every patient who enters it."

Every brick, every beam, every system exists for one purpose: to create an environment where healing can happen.

"Infrastructure is healthcare."

The room, the light, the air quality - they heal too. Design decisions are clinical decisions.

"Standards exist for a reason."

JCI, NABH, ISO - not checkboxes. People's lives depend on them.

"Build for the next 50 years."

Not the budget cycle. Not the deadline. The future.
