On business front, Granules Pharmaceuticals, our US based wholly owned subsidiary entered into an agreement with US pharma to acquire 12.5 per cent of its stake. US pharma in collaboration with its manufacturing partners had submitted five ANDAs with Paragraph IV certifications, out of which four ANDAs have already been out licensed to us exclusively. These are in line with our organisational strategy of solidifying our presence in the US market and enhancing product portfolio by leveraging both internal and external product development capabilities,” said Krishna Prasad Chigurupati, Chairman & Managing Director.
