}}Bavaguthu Raghuram Shetty (born 1 August 1942) is an Indian-born billionaire businessman, and the founder of a number of companies based in the United Arab Emirates. He is founder and chairman of Abu Dhabi-based NMC Healthcare,[2] and chairman of UAE Exchange.[3] He is also the founder and chairman of Neopharma, Finablr and BRS Ventures.[2] In 2018, the brands became part of the financial services holding company, Finablr.[3]

Shetty initial interest in 1975 was in hospitals and hospitality, but since then has diversified into sectors including pharmaceuticals, financial services, retail, advertising and information technology.[4] Shetty was included on the Forbes list of India's 100 Richest People in both 2015 and 2016.[5]

Early life

Born in Kapu, Udupi, Karnataka, to Shambhu Shetty and Koosamma Shetty in the 1940s to an ethnic Tuluva family.[6] Shetty completed his pharmaceutical education in India and also served as the Vice-Chairman of the Municipal Council in Udupi where he worked toward providing proper sanitary facilities, building concrete roads, schools, underground drainage and septic tanks which would increase health and quality of life within the community. He moved to the UAE in 1973 with only a few dirhams to his name. He married Chandrakumari Shetty and has four children.[7]

Career

Shetty immigrated to the UAE in 1973. After working as the country's first medical representative,[2] he founded New Medical Centre Health (NMC) in 1975 to fill the need for personalized, cost-effective healthcare accessible to all.[2][8] At that time, his wife was the only doctor in the clinic.[13] NMC is now the largest private healthcare provider in the UAE with over four million patients annually across 45 facilities spread over 12 cities and 8 countries, including UAE, KSA, Oman, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Colombia and Brazil. It is the first healthcare company from the GCC and the first company from Abu Dhabi to be listed on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange and is part of the coveted FTSE 100 Index.[9]

Shetty established the UAE Exchange in 1980 in an attempt to ease the process of sending money by the expats to their families in their respective home countries.
