Corner Office Conversation with Apollo’s Dr Preetha Reddy and Suneeta Reddy

Apollo Hospitals’ 42-year journey is coterminous with the story of how India has been trying to modernise its healthcare. In this episode Host Vikas Dandekar talks to Dr. Preetha Reddy, Executive vice chairperson of Apollo Hospitals and Suneeta Reddy, MD, Apollo hospitals as they take us inside the institution: history, challenges and mission. From the time a young poor patient who was unable to afford treatment triggered the idea of Apollo in founder, chairman Dr Prathap C Reddy’s mind to becoming a global medical institution attracting patients from 147 countries, the conversation tracks its evolution as well as the tectonic shifts in India’s health ecosystem. The Reddys break down the country’s structural gaps: the shortage of beds, doctors and nurses, the rise of NCDs, and why preventive health has become India’s biggest economic risk. They lay out Apollo’s playbook: technology-led scale, AI-driven diagnosis, telemedicine networks, genomic forecasting, and the push for affordability without compromising outcomes.
