However there will be no change in their remunerations. The Reddy sisters get an annual remuneration of Rs 5.25 crore each and their father Prathap Reddy, chairman of the group, earns Rs 15.63 crore annually.
Prathap Reddy said in a statement, "As the healthcare landscape in the country and the region changes and expands, this strategic realignment, we believe, will enable Apollo to focus on growth opportunities in hospitals, pharmacies, clinics and health insurance while furthering its clinical leadership and service excellence. We aim to deepen our focus in each of these verticals as well as drive synergies between them using technology and an ecosystem focused on wellness, innovation and productivity."
