That itself speaks volumes about the role Reddy - one of the four daughters of Apollo Hospitals Founder and Chairman Dr. Prathap C. Reddy - has been playing in successfully steering the multispecialty hospital chain and its allied businesses, including pharmacy and specialty clinics.

A veteran in driving the groups financial decisions (she joined the group in 1989), she is credited for the financial soundness of Apollo Hospitals, acquisitions as well as divestments to help the company focus on its core business while increasing its presence across India. As managing director, she successfully sold Apollos stake in joint venture Apollo Munich Health Insurance some months ago.
