Way back in 1959, when I was a student, I would pass by a pilot plant for the manufacture of anti-Tuberculosis drug. I would boldly tell my friends then that my dream was to build one day a similar organization. During the next 38 years since then, I built Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, which has become the No. 1 pharmaceutical company in India. Dream, get inspired, and achieve.
- On how to follow your dreams

Even though we are the number one pharma company in India, globally we occupy only 45th
position. You can imagine how far we have to go if we have to become one among the top 10 in the world. -Striving for continuous progress
From the time we started in 1984, we were never Contended with what we had achieved. We were always striving for the next opportunity. - The next opportunity

Later in the 1970s, I took the opportunity to manufacture bulk drugs and for the first time, we also shared the job with other formulators. This made drugs available to the common man at a price he could afford and not at a price the multi-national companies wanted to sell.- Innovative thinking

While we were looking at the next opportunity for further growth, we spotted one in the early 90’s. For the first time in India, we started drug discovery. - On continuous R&D to exploit opportunities

My suggestion to all of you is that when you have a goal, and when you are obsessed with it, go after that. Don't sit back relaxed and wait for the next opportunity. You need to go there and try to be a front runner in the field that you have selected. - On pursuing one's goals
