Warmest congratulations to Dr. Sangita Reddy on being honored as the Indian of the Year 2024 by CNN-News18. A well-deserved recognition for her exceptional leadership and contributions.
Today, I am deeply humbled and immensely grateful to receive the CNN-News18 Indian of the Year 2024 award in the business category. This is a truly momentous occasion for me. This award is not solely mine; it belongs to the remarkable healthcare sector in India. It is a testament to the visionary leadership of my father, Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, our Chairman. His unwavering commitment to serving the people of India has demonstrated that healthcare transcends the realm of business; it is a noble calling, a service that transforms lives, creates meaningful employment, and brings immense pride to our nation. Above all, it is about ensuring the health and happiness of our people, keeping families together. Most importantly, I wish to dedicate this award to the unsung heroes of medicine – our dedicated housekeeping staff, our compassionate nurses, and the countless individuals who tirelessly care for the sick at home. This award is for every single person committed to healing and nurturing others. Apollo Hospitals FICCI Confederation of Indian Industry World Health Organization
