Dr. K. Anji Reddy Memorial Fellowship for Affordable Biopharmaceuticals
Dr. Kallam Anji Reddy, a beloved alumnus of ICT, Mumbai, was a well-known scientist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. An erudite and patriotic visionary, he set up Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories in 1984 to make affordable medicines and worked to make it a hub for research and innovation in the pharmaceutical domain.
A decade later, he was encouraged to help others to also share and reap the benefits of India’s economic growth. He started Dr. Reddy’s Foundation in 1996, with the vision of assisting young and disadvantaged groups to have access to quality education and developing skills to match pace with modern-day challenges. Dr. K. Anji Reddy received one of the highest civilian honors, Padma Shri in 2001 and later the Padma Bhushan for his contribution to the Indian pharmaceutical industry. His autobiography “Unfinished Agenda” shows his zeal and faith in science and his urge to do what he could in every walk of life with unwavering conviction.
