Apollo Hospitals share price rallied over 4% to hit 52-week high on Tuesday after the company's board approved separate listing of its omnichannel pharmacy and digital health businesses within 18-21 months, as part of reorganisation exercise to unlock value. Apollo Hospitals shares jumped as much as 4.7% to a fresh high of ₹ 7,583.30 apiece on the BSE. The board of directors of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise and Apollo HealthCo, a subsidiary of the healthcare major, have accorded in-principle approval for the composite scheme of arrangement. The scheme entails the demerger of the Omni Channel Pharma and Digital Health business - comprising the telehealth business of Apollo and its investment in Apollo HealthCo Ltd - into a new entity. Following the demerger, the scheme provides for the amalgamation of Apollo HealthCo with the new entity. This will subsequently be followed by the amalgamation of Keimed Pvt Ltd with NewCo (new entity). 'The proposed transaction will result in the creation of the largest, integrated omni-channel healthcare eco-system with a FY25 revenue of ₹ 16,300 crores ($1.9 billion) in FY25,' Apollo Hospitals said in a release. The business will comprise - Apollo 24/7, the digital health platform; the offline pharma distribution of AHL; Third party pharma distribution of Keimed; and telehealth services of AHEL. 'The combination of businesses is anticipated to generate substantial synergies, and the New Co is expected to achieve a revenue run rate of ₹ 25,000 crores ($2.9 billion) by FY27,' the company added. Upon the effectiveness of the Scheme, the new entity will become an Indian Owned and Controlled Company (IOCC) and will apply for listing on the stock exchanges, it added. The listing is expected within 18-21 months, the healthcare major said. For every 100 shares of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise, the shareholders of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise will receive 195.2 shares of NewCo, enabling their direct participation in the value unlock. Upon becoming an IOCC, the entity also proposes to consolidate the front-end pharmacy business by acquiring the remaining 74.5% stake in Apollo Medicals Pvt Ltd (AMPL), which owns 100% of Apollo Pharmacies Limited (APL), it said. Apollo Hospitals Enterprise will retain a 15% stake in the 'NewCo' to ensure an integrated, seamless, and comprehensive healthcare offering across the patient lifecycle, it added.

In Frames: International Yoga Day: Breathe, bend, belong
The United Nations' recognition of June 21 as the International Day of Yoga has brought global attention and a boost to the ancient Indian lifestyle practice that focuses on breathing, flexibility and strength. The origins of yoga can be traced back to thousands of years, and it holds an important place in modern lifestyles. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Indian philosophy and, just as the remaining five, focuses on attaining self-realisation through its unique teachings for the control of mind and body. This year's International Day of Yoga, observed last week, advocated the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health', underlining that personal wellness and the health of the planet are linked. While people all over the country took to their mats in celebration of this wellness routine, the philosophy echoed around the world. The lawns of the United Nations headquarters in New York were lined with colourful mats with over 1,200 practising yoga together. Terming yoga a 'pause button' that the world needs in times of instability and uncertainty, Prime Minister Narendra Modi put forward the idea of yoga for humanity, where inner peace becomes a global policy. Although primarily a practice of health and well-being, the International Day of Yoga also turned a platform for social media spotlight with participants being keen to take their activities online. The UN resolution in 2014 that adopted June 21 as the International Day of Yoga had noted the 'importance of individuals and populations making healthier choices and following lifestyle patterns that foster good health'. The World Health Organization has urged its member states to help their citizens get over physical inactivity, which is a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Recognising the importance of yoga as a tool to battle physical inactivity and encourage mental stimulation as well as relaxation is one of the key missions of the International Day of Yoga and the trend visible across many countries suggests that awareness is catching on. Into the inner mind: Women wearing traditional Nauvari saris perform yoga at the Gateway of India in Mumbai on the occasion of International Day of Yoga on June 21. Geared up: Running late for a session, tribal students from the Paderu area hurry along to the Yogandhra 2025 event in Visakhapatnam. Coming together: An aerial view of the Yoga Day celebrations along Beach Road in Visakhapatnam. Navigating mindfully: About 500 personnel from the Indian Army, Air Force, Navy, and other forces take part in the Yoga Day event at the INS Adyar naval base in Chennai. Quiet moment: Student Police Cadets perform yoga at Government Girls High School in Thripunithura in Kerala. Shoring up energy: The Marine Drive in Mumbai offers a picturesque venue for a yoga session. Fun footwork: The Telangana Chamber of Events Industry members perform zumba as part of Yoga Day celebrations in Hyderabad. Screen distraction: A girl takes a peek at her mobile phone during Yogandhra 2025 celebrations in Visakhapatnam.
