In simple words, he is a man who is walking on water.

With Reddy at the helm, the 14-year-old Hyderabad-based IVRCL, is fast emerging as a pivotal player in the field of water infrastructure and is providing the universal panacea to tens of millions of Indians. It has been Reddy's efforts which have prompted IVRCL to expand itself in almost every sphere of work including power, transportation, roads, ports, bridges, railways and industrial structures.
