Small Beginnings It was but inevitable for the Reddy brothers to enter into self-employed business, following the lead of their father, Sanniyasi Reddy, who had come to Fiji under Girmit and had later moved into trading. The second eldest brother Ram Sami Reddy started Reddy Construction Company in 1947 taking up construction of residential buildings. He was later joined by his other brother Ranga Sami Reddy. Yanktesh Permal (YP) Reddy joined the Company in 1957 and this allowed Ram Sami Reddy to move to Lautoka to open the branch in the West where there was a sudden surge of growth in the building industry. In a short time, the Company had successfully taken up some ambitious contracts and completed prestigious projects becoming one of the most reputable and leading local building construction companies. The younger brother, YP, who had also moved to Lautoka in 1957 was soon looking at diversifying and entering into other fields of commercial activities. Besides acquiring some commercial and residential properties in Suva and the West for investment, YP in 1965 launched Reddy’s Enterprises Limited to invest in tourism which was showing promise of becoming an important industry for the Fijian economy.
