Our Legacy
Reddy Ventures carries forward the industrial and philanthropic legacy of the India-based, family-owned business conglomerate, GVK. Prominent in key growth sectors, including airports, energy, transportation, hospitality and real estate, GVK has, over the past 30 years, employed 80,000+ people and invested USD 5 billion in its businesses.
In infrastructure, GVK pioneered India’s first private power plant, India’s first toll road project and India’s first greenfield airport. As part of its commitment to people and community, GVK Foundation owns and operates the world’s largest ambulance service that is available to more than 850 million people across India.
Airports
GVK has designed, built, owned and operated India’s most iconic airports in Mumbai and Bangalore. The Navi Mumbai Airport was also designed by GVK. All three airports celebrate the unique identity of their location, offer global levels of efficiency and are considered amongst the best in the world.
Mumbai International Airport: Declared ‘Best Airport’ by the Airport Council International (ACI), it represents the global identity of Mumbai, while proudly showcasing Indian art, artefacts, tradition and history.
Bangalore International Airport: A tribute to the garden city of Bangalore, it is the world’s first ‘airport in a garden’.
Navi Mumbai International Airport: India’s largest greenfield airport envisioned to be among the most technologically advanced, futuristic airports in the world.
GVK-led airports are portals and destinations unto themselves. As preeminent gateways in and out of India, they are a source of national pride while also representing the country’s rapid growth and global ascendency.
Energy
GVK established India’s first private power plant in 1994. Since then, GVK has grown a pan-India energy portfolio comprising gas, thermal and hydro power plants with over 2,400 MW under generation and development.
At Jegurupadu, GVK reimagined what a power plant could be. Beyond operational efficiency, it was designed for extraordinary green impact. Surrounded by a 200-acre botanical garden with several lakes, a bird sanctuary and zoo, Jegurupadu is still considered an oustanding example of sustainable development in India. In 1997, the International Finance Corporation identified Jegurupadu as one of the best power plants in the world.
Transportation
GVK developed India’s first 6-lane expressway in Rajasthan in 2005, and has since commissioned several toll road projects across the country.
Emergency Services
GVK EMRI runs the world’s largest free ambulance service reaching 850 million people across the country. Every day, a team of 60,000 employees responds to over 50,000 emergencies, saves approximately 1,000 lives and facilitates the birth of 300 babies in GVK EMRI ambulances. To date, close to 5 million lives have been saved.
GVK EMRI also offers mother and child services, animal care ambulances, police and women helplines. There are very few organisations in India, and possibly the world, that can match the reach, scale and impact of GVK EMRI. Our combined services have reached the people of India approximately 1 billion times.
