Apollo has conducted over 2,400 robotic surgeries in financial year 2023, 1,300+ kidney transplants, and 250+ liver transplants. Adopted telemedicine early to bridge the urban-rural divide; and on-boarded tech-based solutions including AI & AR into its bouquet of services.

Its integrated digital platform Apollo 24/7 has over 6,000 doctors and 25 million registered users. Apollo 24/7’s GMV was ₹1,643 crore in the previous financial year, and the company expects it to cross ₹3,000 crore in FY24.

For its unflagging drive in bridging the divide between cutting-edge medicine and affordable healing, the Jury of the CNBC-TV18 India Business Leader Awards 2023 unanimously chose to bestow on Apollo Hospitals the title "Outstanding Company of the Year ".
