History[edit]
It was founded by Dr. Khwaja Abdul Hamied as 'The Chemical, Industrial & Pharmaceutical
Laboratories' in 1935 in Mumbai.[13][14] The name of the Company was changed to 'Cipla
Limited' on 20 July 1984.[14] In the year 1985, US FDA approved the company's bulk drug
manufacturing facilities.[15] Led by the founders son Yusuf Hamied, a Cambridge-educated
chemist, the company became a global icon for its role in defying Western multinational
pharmaceutical companies in order to provide generic AIDS and other drugs to treat poor
people in the developing world.[16] In 1994, Cipla launched Deferiprone, the worlds first oral
iron chelator.[13] In 2001, Cipla offered medicines (antiretrovirals) for HIV treatment at a
fractional cost (less than $350 per year per patient). [17]
In 2012, the company slashed prices of three life-saving cancer drugs by 50-64%. [18]
Operations[edit]
Cipla has 34 manufacturing units in 8 locations across India and has presence in 170
countries.[21][22] Exports accounted for 48% 49.48 billion (US$730 million) of its revenue for
FY 2013-14.[1] Cipla spent INR 517 cr. (5.4% of revenue) in FY 2013-14 on R&D activities.
[1]
The primary focus areas for R&D were development of new formulations, drug-delivery
systems and APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients). Cipla also cooperates with other
enterprises in areas such as consulting, commissioning, engineering, project appraisal,
quality control, know-how transfer, support, and plant supply.
As on 31 March 2013, the company had 22,036 employees (out of which 2,455 were
women (7.30%) and 23 were employees with disabilities (0.1%)). [2] During the FY 2013-14,
the company incurred 12.85 billion (US$190 million) on employee benefit expenses.[1]

Company history[edit]
International expansion[edit]
The company's first international move took it to Russia in 1992. There, Dr. Reddy's formed
a joint venture with the country's biggest pharmaceuticals producer, Biomed. They pulled
out in 1995 amid accusations of scandal, involving "a significant material loss due to the
activities of Moscow's branch of Reddy's Labs with the help of Biomed's chief executive".
[10]
Reddy's sold the joint venture to the Kremlin-friendly Sistema group. In 1993, Reddy's
entered into a joint venture in the Middle East and created two formulation units there and in
Russia. Reddy's exported bulk drugs to these formulation units, which then converted them
into finished products. In 1994, Reddy's started targeting the US generic market by building
state of art manufacturing facility.[citation needed]
Reddy's path into new drug discovery involved targeting speciality generics products in
western markets to create a foundation for drug discovery. Development of speciality
generics was an important step for the company's growing interest in the development of
new chemical entities. The elements involved in creating a speciality generic, such as
innovation in the laboratory, developing the compound, and sending the sales team to the
market, are also stages in the development of a new specialty drug. Starting with speciality
generics allowed the company to gain experience with those steps before moving on to
creating brand-new drugs.
Reddy's also invested heavily in establishing R&D labs and is the only Indian company to
have significant R&D being undertaken overseas. Dr. Reddy's Research Foundation was
established in 1992 and in order to do research in the area of new drug discovery. At first,
the foundation's drug research strategy revolved around searching for analogues. Focus
has since changed to innovative R&D, hiring new scientists, especially Indian students
studying abroad on doctoral and post-doctoral courses. In 2000, the Foundation set up an
American laboratory in Atlanta, dedicated to discovery and design of novel therapeutics.
The laboratory is called Reddy US Therapeutics Inc (RUSTI) and its main aim is the
discovery of next-generation drugs using genomics andproteomics. Reddy's research thrust
focused on large niche areas in western markets anti-cancer, antidiabetes, cardiovascularand anti-infection drugs.[citation needed]
Reddy's international marketing successes were built on a strong manufacturing base which
itself was a result of inorganic growththrough acquisition of international and national
facilities. Reddy's merged Cheminor Drug Limited (CDL) with the primary aim of supplying
active pharmaceutical ingredients to the technically demanding markets of North
America and Europe. This merger also gave Reddy's an entry into the value-added generics
business in the regulated markets of APIs.
In 2001 Reddys became the first Indian company to launch the generic drug, fluoxetine (a
generic version of Eli Lilly and Companys Prozac) with 180-day market exclusivity in the
USA. Prozac had sales in excess of $1 billion per year in the late 1990s. Barr
Laboratories of the U.S. obtained exclusivity for all of the approved dosage forms (10 mg,
20 mg) except one (40 mg), which was obtained by Reddys. Lilly had numerous other
patents surrounding the drug compound and had already enjoyed a long period of patent
protection. The case to allow generic sales was heard twice by the Federal Circuit Court,
and Reddys won both hearings. Reddys generated nearly $70 million in revenue during the
initial six-month exclusivity period. With such high returns at stake, Reddys was gambling
on the success of the litigation; failure to win the case could have cost them millions of
dollars, depending on the length of the trial.
The fluoxetine marketing success was followed by the American launch of Reddy's housebranded ibuprofen tablets in 400, 600 and 800 mg strengths, in January 2003. Direct
marketing under the Reddys brand name represented a significant step in the companys
efforts to build a strong and sustainable US generic business. It was the first step in building
Reddys fully-fledged distribution network in the US market. [citation needed]
In 2015, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories bought the established brands of Belgian drugmaker
UCB SA in South Asia for 8 billion rupees ($128.38 million). [11]
pre-determined basis. Upon commercialization of these products, Dr. Reddy's pays ICICI
Venture royalty on net sales for a period of 5 years.
Global expansion[edit]
The company elected to expand globally, and acquired other entities. In March 2002, Dr.
Reddys acquired BMS Laboratories, Beverley, and its wholly owned subsidiary Meridian
Healthcare, for 14.81 million Euros. These companies deal in oral solids, liquids and
packaging, with manufacturing facilities in London and Beverley in the UK. Recently, Dr.
Reddys entered into an R&D and commercialization agreement with Argenta Discovery
Ltd., a private drug development company based in the UK, for the treatment of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Dr. Reddys entered into a 10-year agreement with Rheoscience A/S of Denmark for the
joint development and commercialization of Balaglitazone (DRF-2593), a molecule for the
treatment of type-2 diabetes. Rheoscience holds this products marketing rights for
the European Union and China, while the rights for the US and the rest of the world will be
held by Dr. Reddys. Dr. Reddys conducted clinical trials of its cardiovascular drug RUS
3108 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 2005. The trials were conducted to study the safety and
the pharmacokinetic profiles of the drug, which is intended for the treatment of
atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular disorders.
Dr. Reddys entered into a marketing agreement with Eurodrug Laboratories, a
pharmaceutical company based in Netherlands, for improving its product portfolio for
respiratory diseases. It introduced a second-generation xanthine bronchodilator,
Doxofylline, which is used for the treatment of asthma and COPD patients.
In 2004, Reddys acquired Trigenesis Therapeutics Inc; a US-based private dermatology
company. This acquisition gave Reddys access to proprietary products and technologies in
the dermatology sector.
Dr. Reddys Para 4 application strategy for generic business received a severe setback
when Reddys lost the patent challenge in the case of Pfizers drug Norvasc (amlodipine
maleate), a drug indicated for the treatment of hypertension and angina. The cost involved
in patent litigation as well as the unexpected loss of the patent challenge affected Reddys
plans to start speciality business in the US generic markets.
In March 2006, Dr. Reddys acquired Betapharm Arzneimittel GmbH from 3i for 480 million
Euros. This is one of the largest-ever foreign acquisitions by an Indian pharmaceutical
company. Betapharm is Germanys fourth-largest generics pharmaceutical company, with a
3.5% market share, including 150 active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Reddys has promoted Indias first integrated drug development company Perlecan Pharma
Pvt Ltd together with ICICI ventures capital fund management company Ltd
andCitigroup Venture Capital International growth partnership Mauritius Ltd. The combined
entity will undertake clinical development and out-licensing of new chemical entity assets.
Dr. Reddy's is presently licensed by Merck & Co. to sell an authorized generic version of the
popular drug simvastatin (Zocor) in the USA. Since Dr. Reddy's has a license from Merck, it
was not subject to the exclusivity period on generic simvastatin. [12]
As of 2006, Dr. Reddys Laboratories exceeded $500 million USD in revenues, flowing from
their APIs, branded formulations and generics segments; the former two segments account
for almost 75% of revenues. Dr. Reddy's deals in and manages all the processes, from the
development of the API to the submission of finished dosage dossiers to the regulatory
agencies.
