Organization Profile

Humanity’s health needs, are greater than any one company’s ability to address them; yet we can work with others to bring new drugs quickly to the market and provide the building blocks of affordable medicines. Established in 1984, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE: RDY) is an emerging global pharmaceutical company. As a fully integrated pharmaceutical company, our purpose is to provide affordable and innovative medicines through our three core businesses:
  • Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI), comprising our Active Pharmaceuticals and Custom Pharmaceuticals businesses;
  • Global Generics, which includes branded and unbranded generics; and
  • Proprietary Products, which includes New Chemical Entities (NCEs), Differentiated Formulations, and Generic Biopharmaceuticals. Our products are marketed globally, with a focus on India, US, Europe and Russia.
Our strong portfolio of businesses, geographies and products gives us an edge in an increasingly competitive global market and allows us to provide affordable medication to people across the world, regardless of geographic and socio-economic barriers.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients
Through our PSAI business, we offer Intellectual Property (IP) advantaged, speedy product development and cost-effective manufacturing services to our customers – generic companies and innovators. This allows us to help make good medicines available to more people around the world. The core strengths of our PSAI business are the state-of-the-art infrastructure, resources and relevant skills we are able to offer to our customers, such as
  • Large and diverse product portfolio
  • Eight FDA-inspected plants and three technology centers
  • World class chemistry expertise
  • Robust, large-scale manufacturing capabilities
  • IP driven product development for freedom to operate
  • Total, seamless supply chain management
Global Generics
Both, in the developing and developed world, it is a grim fact that millions of people suffer from treatable illnesses and disease simply because they cannot afford the medicines that will restore them to health. Even in high income countries like the US, brand name drugs are often prohibitively expensive, particularly for the growing numbers of uninsured. Around the world, having access to lower-cost generic medicines can mean the difference between health and sickness, solvency and bankruptcy for countless people.

Generic drugs hold great promise for the future. The growing acceptance of generics and favorable legislation in many geographies, combined with the large volume of branded products losing patent protection over the years, is expanding the generic pharmaceuticals market.

Through our branded and unbranded Global Generics business, we fulfill our purpose of providing affordable medicines to more people around the world by offering lower-cost alternatives to highly-priced innovator brands, both directly and through key partnerships.

Our capabilities span the entire value chain – from process development of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) to submission of the finished dosage dossier, to the regulatory agencies – giving us control over the supply chain and the ability, to offer high quality products at the right time and at competitive prices. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities are ISO14001 and ISO9001 certified and have an excellent record of regulatory compliance. Our Generics business is supported by our integrated Product Development Infrastructure, which identifies new products and significantly reduces the time between concept and delivery of medicines to market.

Today, we have a strong presence both in highly regulated markets like the US, UK, and Germany and in the emerging markets of India and Russia. We are building our presence in other emerging markets of Venezuela, Romania, and CIS (Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan).

Proprietary Products
Science and innovation hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of diseases that continue to afflict humanity. While scientific advances have either obliterated many deadly diseases or brought them under control, there are still far too many diseases that lack satisfactory treatments or cures. These unmet medical needs of humanity drive our research enterprise.

Our Proprietary Products business comprises NCE research, Biologics and Differentiated Formulations. In each of these areas, we are building world-class capabilities and partnerships to accelerate the discovery and development of new and improved therapies.

Within our integrated R&D infrastructure, scientists with diverse functional expertise seek innovative solutions to medical needs in the therapeutic areas of metabolic diseases, anti-infectives and inflammatory diseases. Our scientific capabilities span a wide range of areas, such as medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry, pharmacology, genomics, proteomics, molecular biology, microbiology, toxicology, formulation and clinical development.
