Super Chennai, India’s first citizen-driven city branding movement, has named Dr. S. Chandrakumar, Founder & Executive Chairman, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, as its ‘Icon of the Month’ for August 2025. The recognition celebrates his pioneering role in transforming healthcare and reinforcing Chennai’s global reputation as the ‘Healthcare Capital of India’- a milestone in the city’s journey to becoming one of the world’s most liveable cities.
A medical entrepreneur, institution-builder, and thought leader, Dr. Chandrakumar has shaped the delivery of modern healthcare in India. Under his leadership, Kauvery Group of Hospitals has emerged as one of the country’s most respected healthcare networks - combining advanced medical science with patient-first values. His vision has expanded access to quality care and further strengthened the leadership of Chennai as a destination where healthcare excellence enhances the overall quality of life.
On receiving the honour, Dr. Chandrakumar said “This recognition is deeply humbling. Healthcare is not merely about treatment - it is about compassion, accessibility, and trust. I share this with the thousands of dedicated colleagues at Kauvery who work tirelessly to make world-class healthcare a reality for every patient. I am proud to be part of Chennai’s inspiring healthcare leadership in the nation and contributing to the dream of making Chennai the most liveable city in the world.”
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Ranjeeth Rathod, Managing Director, Super Chennai, said, “Super Chennai is about reimagining our city for the future - stronger, prouder, and more liveable. Our ‘Icon of the Month’ initiative celebrates those who embody this spirit of transformation. By honouring Dr. Chandrakumar, we are recognising not just a modern healthcare pioneer but a changemaker whose work touches lives every day and elevates Chennai’s standing on the global stage.”
The ‘Icon of the Month’ initiative by Super Chennai spotlights entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers who are building Chennai’s new identity as a city that is dynamic, inclusive, and globally competitive. Earlier this year, the movement honoured C.K. Kumaravel, Co-Founder of Naturals Salon, for his contribution to women’s entrepreneurship.
