Our Founder
Dr. S. Rangarajan
-
Sundaram Medical Foundation is the brainchild of Dr. Rangarajan, the Founder, Managing Trustee and a member of the TVS Family, a leading business group in Tamil Nadu. He was the son of late Mr. T.S. Santhanam, Chairman of Sundaram Finance. -
Dr. Rangarajan began his career as a Chartered Accountant and took up MBA from the University of Berkley, USA. At the age of 30, his career took a turn when he realised he prioritised involvement and satisfaction in helping people in a constructive way. -
Thus Sundaram Medical Foundation was born! -
Dr. Rangarajan’s vision was to establish “a hospital, providing quality health care, which is cost-effective and community-centered, in an environment which is clean, caring and responsive to the needs of the patient”. His vision resulted in the creation of everything SMF is today, which serves as a ‘Role Model’ of health care delivery system in India.
