CHENNAI: Corporate healthcare group Apollo Hospitals is firming up its foray into the wellness segment. The Chennai-based hospital is keen to engage McKinsey to draw the blueprint in this regard. The wellness business is pegged at Rs 1,500 crore and Apollo has formed a core committee to work on the finer details of the venture.

Apollo Hospitals MD Preetha Reddy said for the moment things are still at a lucid stage. But, the group is looking at appointing the global agency to provide its consulting input to take the plan forward. “We are considering the appointment of the agency so that all the details of this venture can be worked out,” she told ET.


While she and ED-Finance Suneeta Reddy have been spearheading all illness and health-related aspects of the hospital, the other two sisters — Sangita Reddy and Shobana Kamineni — are expected to play key role in taking the wellness business forward.

“We both have been managing the illness side of Apollo, whereas Sangita and Shobana have been actively planning out how to complement alternative systems with the existing systems of medicine.” Preetha Reddy said.
