Congratulations to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji on completing 12 years as Prime Minister. Over the twelve years , India has witnessed transformative change driven by a bold vision, relentless execution, and an unwavering belief in the nation's potential. Significant strides in healthcare, digital innovation, infrastructure, and inclusive development have strengthened India's foundation for the future. Wishing Modi ji continued success as he leads India's journey towards becoming a global force for progress and innovation.

Glad to meet the Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals, Dr. Suneeta Reddy, at Mantralaya in Mumbai today. Had a productive discussion to explore and strengthen collaborative healthcare initiatives between the Government of Maharashtra and Apollo Hospitals. @SuneetaReddy4 #Maharashtra #Mumbai #Healthcare

Most chronic diseases, and many cancers, are still diagnosed far too late. The future of healthcare lies in detecting risk earlier, diagnosing smarter, and intervening sooner. From AI enabled diagnostics and genomics to Apollo’s DigiSmart Labs, technology is helping transform healthcare from reactive to predictive and personalised. My latest column: tinyurl.com/ywk922t5

It was a privilege to meet Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu garu. His dedication to inclusive development, innovation-led growth and public service was deeply inspiring. Women’s health, youth skilling and strengthening access to quality healthcare were among the many important areas we reflected on during our interaction. His belief that growth must create opportunities for every community resonates deeply in today’s rapidly changing world. Andhra Pradesh has immense potential to emerge as a model for inclusive and sustainable growth, and there is a strong sense of purpose in the way Shri Chandrababu Naidu garu speaks about empowering communities and building long-term impact.

It was a privilege to meet Hon’ble Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and personally congratulate him on assuming the responsibility of leading Tamil Nadu at such a defining moment in the State’s journey. His clarity of thought, humility and deep commitment towards the people of Tamil Nadu left a lasting impression on me. There is a strong sense of purpose in the way he speaks about the future of the State, balancing aspiration with inclusion, progress with compassion. We had a meaningful conversation on the future of healthcare in Tamil Nadu, the importance of strengthening preventive and specialised care, particularly for women, and the immense opportunity for the State to emerge as a global model for inclusive development. Tamil Nadu has always stood apart for its leadership in healthcare, education and human development. Under young and purpose-driven leadership, the State has the potential to script an extraordinary new chapter of growth and transformation. Wishing Hon’ble Chief Minister Vijay strength, wisdom and success as he embarks on this important journey of public service.

The conferment of the ‘Royal Order of the Polar Star’ upon Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji symbolises the growing strength of India’s global partnerships and the respect India commands on the world stage today. A proud moment for 140 crore Indians.

Tamil Nadu’s strength lies in its people - their discernment, integrity and enduring commitment to a better future. Congratulations to TVK on an impressive performance, wishing them every success in serving the state. @actorvijay #TVKVijay‌ #TamilNaduElections

Just flew to delhi on Air India. While the aircraft was not so new or posh. The crew were phenomenal !!!

It was a pleasure to be part of the jury at the ET Family Business Awards and celebrate enterprises that have created far more than successful companies....they have created livelihoods, opportunities, communities, and institutions that shape everyday life in our nation. Family businesses hold a special strength. They think in decades, not quarters. They build with values, not just valuations. They understand that succession is not only about passing on assets, but passing on purpose. In India, where enterprise and family are so often deeply intertwined, their role in building the future will remain vital. The road to Viksit Bharat will be shaped not only by policy, but by the  resilience, and vision of businesses that continue to grow while staying rooted in what matters most. The award function was a wonderful reminder that legacy is strongest when it keeps creating new possibilities.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Asha Bhosle ji, a voice that shaped generations of music and emotion. From Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh, her timeless melodies will continue to live on forever. An irreplaceable loss to Indian music and culture #OmShanti #ashabhosle

India can add $1T annually by 2040. At the heart of this is women’s health. The Apollo Health of the Nation 2026 report highlights the silent gaps women carry across life stages. Investing in women’s health is investing in India’s future. tinyurl.com/4hkdfswu

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the most serious threats facing modern health care. The most worrying truth is that AMR is no longer a problem of tomorrow. It is already reshaping the present, in hospitals and communities across the world. Antibiotics transformed health care by making infections treatable and surgery safer. If we allow this miracle to fade through carelessness, we weaken the very confidence on which modern medicine stands. We must work together to safeguard the miracle of antibiotics for our patients today, and for generations to come. This is a shared responsibility of individuals, doctors, and systems.

As women live longer, healthier lives, healthcare systems must evolve to become menopause-ready...recognising the changes that affect heart health, bone strength, cognitive wellbeing, and quality of life. Too often, these transitions remain hidden behind silence or stigma. It’s time we speak about menopause with openness, science, and compassion. Read article : tinyurl.com/bem4y9tn

Although travel disruptions prevented me from being in Rome, I was grateful to join the World Bank’s High Level Advisory Jobs Council meeting virtually and listen to an extraordinary group of economists and global leaders. One striking takeaway was how similar the challenges are across countries. Whether in emerging or advanced economies, the questions around jobs, skills, and inclusive growth are remarkably alike. It reminds us that we truly live in a global village where solutions must increasingly be shared. The numbers are sobering. Over the next decade, nearly 1.2 billion young people in developing economies will reach working age, yet only about 420 million jobs are expected to be created. This is not just an economic issue. It is about dignity, opportunity, and stability. Conversations like these reinforce that job creation sits at the intersection of health, education, technology, and policy... the future of work will require collaboration across nations, sectors, and institutions.

The future of healthcare must move beyond hospital walls. With trained professionals, digital monitoring, and coordinated care, homes can become safe extensions of the healing journey. theweek.in/columns/dr-preeth… @ApolloHHC
