BETTER THAN THE BEST

IT IS THE PRECISION OF A SURGEON'S SCALPEL that is the hallmark of professional skill, but it is not doctors alone who use it.

A lawyer wields the same dexterity in the courtroom to excise a criminal malaise, but with the sophistication of his words. An economist does the same-steer the economy or government policyhis preferred tool a sharp insight or analysis. What of the architect? Well, he builds a whole vision, to project something that is beyond mere brick and mortar.

These then are individuals who have not only scaled the pinnacle of professional excellence but also, by dint of their exceptional talent, helped define and set standards for their respective fields. Their greatness lies not just in what they do, but in the greater common good that comes out of what they do. Doctors, lawyers, economists and an architect...a few good individuals who lead by example.

1 NARESH TREHAN, 77 Chairman and Managing Director, Medanta - The Medicity

A CUT ABOVE THE REST

BECAUSE he is the man the government turns to on matters of public health and policy. Not only is Trehan India's leading voice on cardiology, he is also a champion advocate for the elimination of TB in the country. What began as a research project to eradicate TB in Haryana, or Mission TB Free Haryana, became a national-level initiative called TB Free India under his leadership and effort

BECAUSE not just India but even the world is in awe of his brilliance. The International Congress of Cardiac Surgery named him one of the 'Seven Wise Coronary Surgeons of the Golden Era of the '90s' this year. Medanta featured for the fifth consecutive year in Newsweek's list of the world's 250 best hospitals, the only private Indian hospital to do so

BECAUSE Trehan started 2024 as a billionaire. Shares of Global Health, the parent company in which he has a 33 per cent stake, jumped 165 per cent in December 2023
