    It is an Apollo hospital company so a VC fund was not needed in first place.Ashvani is happy with this but he does not realize that he is just a salaried employee like anyone else. If Hiway was not an apollo company (Reddy sisters behind the business plan and operations), it was just another struggler and there’s nothing much for Ashvani to take credit for.
