4. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd, is a pharmaceutical company based in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. The company was
founded by Anji Reddy, who had previously worked in the publicly owned Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Limited, of
Hyderabad, India. Dr. Reddy's manufactures and markets a wide range of pharmaceuticals in India and overseas. The
company has over 190 medications, 60 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drug manufacture, diagnostic kits,
critical care, and biotechnology products.
Dr. Reddy's began as a supplier to Indian drug manufacturers, but it soon started exporting to other less-regulated markets
that had the advantage of not having to spend time and money on a manufacturing plant that would gain approval from
a drug licensing body such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). By the early 1990s, the expanded scale and
profitability from these unregulated markets enabled the company to begin focusing on getting approval from drug
regulators for their formulations and bulk drug manufacturing plants in more-developed economies. This allowed their
movement into regulated markets such as the US and Europe.
Dr. Reddy’s began as an API manufacturer in 1984, producing high-quality APIs to first the Indian, and later, the
international markets. In 1987, we started our formulations operations and, after becoming a force to reckon with in the
Indian formulations market, went international in 1991.
