Alembic Pharma, which had traditionally focused on generic drugs, into the area of

discovery research. It has a strong presence in a few other countries. The company's stock

price has plummeted, and the management is under pressure from financial analysts to

drop discovery research and focus on what they had always done best generics. This

company will surely achieve its desired objectives and targets, will be in the top position of

pharmaceutical markets.
