INDIA'S BEST CEO - Architecting Care, Amplifying Impact

Outlook Business

|

July 2025

In the high-stakes world of modern healthcare, Dr. Tarang Gianchandani has quietly emerged as one of India's most transformative leaders. As Group CEO - Healthcare Initiatives at Reliance Foundation and CEO of Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital (RFH), she hasn't just led a hospital - she's built a healthcare movement rooted in trust, precision, and purpose.

INDIA'S BEST CEO - Architecting Care, Amplifying Impact

A Journey of Discipline, Depth, and Decisiveness A clinician by training and strategist by instinct, Dr. Tarang's journey spans continents and cultures. From Lady Hardinge Medical College in Delhi to the National University of Singapore, and from roles in Singapore's Ministry of Health, Alexandra Hospital, and Changi General, she has navigated complex health systems across Asia. Her frontline experience managing public health crises like H1N1 and SARS gave her a uniquely agile, systems-oriented lens. This depth proved invaluable during India's COVID-19 waves, where she led RFH's high-response strategy & operations - rapidly activating ICUs, oxygen infrastructure, tele-ICU support, and high-risk care protocols that helped save thousands of lives.

Returning to India, she helmed Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre as CEO (2013-2018), and since 2018, has led RFH's transformation - repositioning the 100-year-old institution into a global benchmark for quaternary care.

“Hospitals aren't just built with walls - they're built with trust. When patients trust us with their lives, we must earn that trust every day.” - Dr. Tarang Gianchandani

Driving Innovation with Purpose

Under her stewardship, RFH has emerged as a lighthouse for precision medicine and digital innovation:

India's First Ethos Linear Accelerator for Adaptive Radiotherapy

Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgery, India's First All-in-One Bi-Plane Cath Lab, South Asia's First Genius AI 3D Mammography
