Info on Sun Pharma

PROFILE

We make speciality pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Our brands are prescribed in chronic therapy areas like cardiology, psychiatry, neurology, gastroenterology, diabetology and respiratory and dermatology.

We have the same drive for growth that marked our early days. Sun Pharma came into existence as a startup with 5 products in 1983. In the time since, we have crossed several milestones to emerge as a leading pharma company in India, a rank that we have now been at for more than 5 years. (IMS-ORG Retail Store Audit, March 2006)

We have reached leadership in each of the therapy areas that we operate in, and are rated among the leading companies by key customers. Strengthening market share and keeping this customer focus remains a high priority area for the company.

In the post 1996 years, we have used a combination of internal growth and acquisitions to drive growth; important mergers were those of the US, Detroit based Caraco Pharm Labs and that of the plant at Halol which is now UKMHRA and USFDA approved.

Under a recent corporate development, the areas related to new molecular entities and drug delivery systems are proposed to be demerged into a separate company.
