After studying fine art in India and Great Britain, he unveiled a female figure expressed as pop art. Up until now, he has continued producing sculpture of various female figures and portraits, in a stylized expression closely tied to Indian religions, folklore, or artistic traditions. Some of his recent works are grand shiny copper-gilt female statues, which illustrates his method of producing deeply religious themes that remind one of folklore art. One feels there the female Yakusi, a demi-goddess intimately associated with the earth, who brings about plenty. Reddy's huge head evokes the viewer of ancient times when the goddesses and the fecundity of women was worshipped and presents a new mythology of the life cycle.
