About

I am a high-level executive and entrepreneur with a career spanning infrastructure, healthcare, and venture capital. Currently, I serve as Vice Chairman at GVK and GVK EMRI, where I oversee large-scale projects including emergency services that support over 800 million people in India. I also founded Aragen Life Sciences, a major pharmaceutical services organization, and lead Reddy Ventures and Jivi AI. My work is driven by a passion for large-scale impact, particularly in how generative AI can transform global healthcare and how infrastructure serves as a catalyst for economic growth. I am currently focused on scaling these initiatives and exploring new opportunities at the intersection of technology and public service. I am always looking to connect with others who are passionate about driving systemic change through innovation.
