About Us
Founded in 1986 by Mr. P.V. Ramaprasad Reddy, Mr. K. Nityananda Reddy and a small group of highly committed professionals, Aurobindo Pharma was born off a vision. The company commenced operations in 1988-89 with a single unit manufacturing Semi-Synthetic Penicillin (SSP) at Pondicherry.
Aurobindo Pharma became a public company in 1992 and listed its shares in the Indian stock exchanges in 1995. In addition to being the market leader in Semi-Synthetic Penicillins, it has a presence in key therapeutic segments such as neurosciences, cardiovascular, anti-retrovirals, anti-diabetics, gastroenterology and cephalosporins, among others.
Through cost effective manufacturing capabilities and a few loyal customers, the company entered the high margin specialty generic formulations segment. In less than a decade Aurobindo Pharma today has evolved into a knowledge driven company manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients and formulation products. It is R&D focused and has a multi-product portfolio with manufacturing facilities in several countries.
The formulation business is systematically organized with a divisional structure, and has a focused team for key international markets. Leveraging on its large manufacturing infrastructure for APIs and formulations, wide and diversified basket of products and confidence of its customers, it aims to achieve USD 2 billion revenues by 2015-16. Aurobindo's nine units for APIs / intermediates and seven units for formulations are designed to meet the requirements of both advanced as well as emerging market opportunities.
