GURUGRAM: Antara Senior Care announced on Thursday, November 5, 2026, that rehabilitation specialist Dr Rachit Gulati had joined its Gurugram care home operation, adding specialist leadership for adults recovering after surgery, serious illness or an extended hospital stay. The announcement was filed by parent company Max India with the stock exchanges and covers services for people aged 18 and above, including seniors.
Antara lists Gurugram care homes on Nathupur Road in Sector 24 and Gulmohar Marg in DLF Phase 2. The appointment announcement does not identify a street address or assign Gulati to one of those individual branches. Families should therefore distinguish the confirmed Gurugram appointment from the separate location information on the operator's website.
What the appointment adds
The November 5 company filing identifies Gulati's field as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, alongside pain management and rheumatology. The company says his role concerns postoperative care, the transition after a hospital stay and care for patients requiring continuing medical and nursing support. This is an appointment within an existing care operation.
According to the filing, Gulati holds an MBBS and an MD in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a Fellowship in Pain Medicine and a Certificate in Rheumatology from EULAR. It describes more than a decade of clinical and rehabilitation experience. Most recently, he headed the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department at ISIC Multispecialty Hospital, also identified as the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, in New Delhi.
His earlier positions listed in the disclosure include chief medical officer at Praan Health and medical director roles at Recoup Health in Bengaluru and SAAOL Ortho Care in Delhi. The company also records academic and clinical work at AIIMS Bhopal, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and West Bengal Health Services. These are the professional details provided in the announcement, rather than independently assessed clinical outcomes.
The clinical areas listed for the appointment include spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke rehabilitation, Parkinsonism, musculoskeletal and rheumatological conditions, chronic pain and interventional physiatry. The announcement presents the specialist's remit across several recovery needs, rather than limiting it to older residents or a single type of surgery.
- Announcement date: November 5, 2026.
- Specialist appointed: Dr Rachit Gulati.
- Field: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, pain management and rheumatology.
- Patient group described: adults aged 18 and above, including seniors.
- Care settings described: short stays after surgery or illness and longer stays requiring sustained support.
How the recovery service is described
Antara says care plans bring together doctors, nurses, therapists and dietitians. In his statement accompanying the filing, Gulati described planning around the patient's diagnosis, other medical conditions, pain and functional needs, with the team adjusting the plan as recovery progresses. That describes the intended organisation of care; the filing does not provide comparative recovery results for Gurugram patients.
The services listed include physiotherapy, spinal cord rehabilitation, speech and swallow therapy, nutrition and dietetics, fall prevention, and catheter and feeding tube care. The disclosure says the combination is tailored to clinical needs and recovery goals. The short stay service is described as postoperative and transition care, while longer stays are intended for people needing continuing medical and nursing supervision.
Ishaan Khanna, chief executive of Antara Assisted Care Services, linked the appointment to the company's effort to develop physician led rehabilitation across its care homes. The filing says rehabilitation specialists were already leading care in Bengaluru and Chennai before Gulati joined the NCR operation. That is the organisational context for the Gurugram appointment, rather than an announcement that the company has opened a new hospital.
Local addresses and information still to confirm
The operator's official contact page lists the Sector 24 home at Plot 2, S22/4, Nathupur Road. Its DLF Phase 2 home is listed at 49, Gulmohar Marg. The Sector 24 facility page describes assisted living and postoperative care, with nursing and medical support, personalised recovery planning and an oxygen pipeline system.
The appointment filing does not publish consultation hours, a new admission timetable or a fee schedule. It says insurance claims support is available subject to the policy and insurer's approval, which does not establish automatic coverage for an individual stay. It also gives a network total of eight facilities and 485 beds across four cities, without allocating that total to Gurugram.
Other local health infrastructure developments are separate from this appointment. Readers can find background in the reports on work orders for 30 health centres, contractual doctor posts at the Sector 9A hospital and the proposed hospital's land lease. The confirmed change here is the specialist appointment and the scope of recovery care described in the November 5 disclosure.
