Sun Pharma

Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. was established in 1983 by Dilip Shanghvi in Vapi, Gujarat. It started with five products that were used to treat psychiatric illnesses. It created its first-ever research centre in 1991, laying a strong foundation for vital products and process development, which led to it massive growth in subsequent years. Later, it was decided to demerge the research centre into a distinct entity which is known as Sun Pharma Advanced Research company. This particular company is listed on the stock exchanges of India and is the first research company to hold this position.   


 In 1987, it introduced Cardiology products, and in 1989, gastroenterology products were introduced. At present, Sun Pharma is ranked the No. 1 pharma company by prescriptions with 9 different categories of doctors in the nation and is also the market leader in cardiology, gastroenterology, diabetology, orthopaedics, dermatology, urology, vitamins, nutrients and minerals.


In 2014, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. acquired Ranbaxy, and that made it the largest pharmaceutical company in India, one of the largest Indian pharmaceutical companies in the United States, and the 4th biggest speciality generic corporation around the globe.



Around 72% of Sun Pharma's sales are from markets outside India, and a significant percentage of sales are from the United States. The United States is the single most expansive market, which is accountable for about 30% of the company's turnover. In total, formulations or finished dosage forms account for about 93% of the turnover. Manufacturing processes are carried out across 44 global regions in India, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. In the United States, the firm markets a huge basket of generics, with a powerful pipeline expecting authorisation from the FDA, i.e. U.S. Food and Drug Administration.


In 1994, Sun Pharma was quoted on the stock exchange in an issue that oversubscribed 55 times. The members of the founding family still hold a majority stake in the firm. In 1999, Sun Pharma was listed in the top ten pharmaceutical companies in India.
