Upasana Konidela’s Grandad, Dr. Prathap C.Reddy’s Personal Profile
With an estimated net worth of 340 crore USD, i.e., Rs. 26,560 crore, he strives to make healthcare affordable and accessible to everyone. Upasana’s grandad earned his MBBS from Stanley Medical College, Chennai. Later, he flew to the U.S to specialize in cardiology.
