One of the best ways to introduce Mr Rana Dasgupta would be as the quintessential “Go To” person by his friends, colleagues and even strangers, a person who picks up his umpteenth phone call at 2 rings whatever the time of night or day, and is always ready to extend a helping hand. To highlight his professional achievements, Mr Rana Dasgupta is the Chief Executive Officer, Eastern Region, Apollo Hospitals Group, the premier healthcare provider of the country. Mr. Dasgupta is a Post Graduate from IHM, Taratala, Kolkata with 40 years of experience in Hospitality and Health sectors. During his career span, Mr. Dasgupta has also worked with Taj Group of Hotels, Woodlands Hospitals, Wockhardt Hospital & Kidney Institute and Specialty Restaurants Group.

Mr Dasgupta has been a speaker in various national and international forums on healthcare, inspiring countless others. His best tribute perhaps comes from his colleagues — a man always with an open door, a smile on his lips and a cup of coffee and cookies on offer.
