Cipla senior management executive tells Scrip how the company is calibrating manufacturing as part of a wider business “reimagination” and accelerated digital adoption across its operations.

Scrip traces some of the prominent changes in the corner office at front-line, family-owned Indian firms Cipla and Dr Reddy’s in the decade gone by.

Cipla has struck a 'de-risked' deal to acquire the specialty firm Avenue Therapeutics, Inc, for up to $215m as it readies a niche play in the US pain management segment amid the opioid crisis.

Cipla is planning an ambitious growth trajectory, aiming to propel its US business “towards a $1bn generic enterprise” and develop a strong specialty franchise focused on its traditional stronghold, the respiratory segment, and the CNS space.
