Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.

This company is one of the oldest and the major drug-making corporations of India. It was founded in 1968 by a chemist and then-associate professor at Birla Institute of Technology and Science. The founder of the company left his teaching position as he didn’t find it fulfilling as he couldn’t implement his practical knowledge. His first step was the employment at a pharmaceutical company then he took a loan and invested into the establishment of his own small drug-making company.

The company is named after a flower with the name Lupin that is known for being able to grow in an infertile soil and transform it into a fertile one which symbolizes the company’s ability to transform its home country and the pharmaceutical industry in general to the better. Currently, the company’s products are present in more than 70 markets including the markets of the developing countries.

Lupin’s history of success

The local acknowledgment of the company is related to the introduction of different formulations of Cephalosporin. Some years after the medication introduction into the local market, the company received an accreditation from the UK MHRA and the American FDA (drug quality verification authorities) and became the first Indian manufacturer to export Cephalosporin-based antibiotics internationally including the developed countries.

The international acknowledgment was gained by the company since it became one of the world’s largest manufacturers of anti-tuberculosis drugs. Today, Lupin Laboratories has a substantial market share in such segments as cardiovascular, diabetic, asthma, pediatrics, central nervous system, gastrointestinal, anti-bacterial, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs segments. It also keeps an international leading position in the anti-tuberculosis and Cephalosporin antibiotics fields.

Currently, the company takes the 6th place in the ranking of Indian pharmaceutical companies by such parameters as market capitalization, revenue growth ratio, and the total yearly revenue. It is also the fourth company in the rating of the largest generic-manufacturing companies in the world.

In the national rating of India's Most Reputed Brands, the company occupied the first place.

Lupin’s research program covers the entire pharmaceutical product chain.

These studies are currently at the Phase-II clinical studies in the regions where these products first are aimed to be marketed. For instance, immunological medications for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis are currently tested in Europe; endocrine (metabolic disorder medications) are also tested in Europe; Cancer therapy Phase-I trials have been successfully completed in Europe and the Phase-II study is planned to be made in India.

The company believes that without continuously investing in research including the investment in advanced laboratories and new talents it is impossible to keep up with the new globalized market requirements and needs.
