He put into place a dream hospital project called Narayana Hrudayalaya that started modestly with 300 beds in Bangalore and went on to become a Health City. In a decade's time it grew exponentially with multiple location presence, recording a 5700 beds healthcare conglomerate by end 2012. From truly humble beginnings, the hospital currently caters to 80,000 patients per month and performs 3500 surgeries. It is one man's passion that ignited this spark.
