Dr G.Ranjith Reddy and Dr A.Tirupathi Reddy started their journey by pursuing their under graduation course in veterinary science in APAU, Rajendranagar in 1982. Dr Ranjith Reddy was offered to work in Singh poultry along with his friend and there started their professional journey.
Their work involved interaction with myriad farmers and both the friends together laid the foundation for the future. After working for three years, Dr Ranjith joined Bovans and served there for three years and became a noted veterinarian in the industry. In 1987, after completing B.V.Sc, Dr. Thirupathi Reddy joined Singh Poultry Pvt Ltd as a veterinarian and Dr Ranjith Reddy continued his further studies to pursue his post graduation in M.V.Sc.
It was at this point in life; Dr Thirupathi had advised Dr Ranjith to start a hatchery though many people advised the later to continue the veterinary profession. However, Dr Ranjith Reddy considered his friend's advice and took up poultry breeding farm along with Dr. Thirupathi Reddy. In 1996, they started S.R. Hatcheries Pvt. Ltd. as an associate of Venkateshwara Hatcheries Group with 8,000 Vencob parent chicks. When they began broiler commercial chick's production, the chick price was encouraging and from that point there was no looking back.
