Sangita ReddyMedicine & Healthcare (Andhra Pradesh, India) 2005
SANGITA REDDY – She earned the title of India’s ‘Healthcare Heiress’ when she joined her father, Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, the renowned cardiologist and founder of Apollo Hospitals, in Chennai. As the youngest of four sisters, her entry into the business marked a significant transformation for the enterprise, propelling it from a 150-bed hospital in Chennai to one of Asia’s largest super-specialty chains. Today, as the Joint Managing Director, she is leading the charge to create the future of healthcare in India.
Although her initial ambition was to pursue a career in medicine, her father redirected her towards building the Apollo conglomerate. Despite this change in direction, she has no regrets, as she finds immense fulfillment in creating a beacon of hope for thousands of people. India’s health is undoubtedly in safe hands under her leadership.
