What Mankind Pharma does

Mankind Pharma Limited, founded in 1995 by Ramesh Juneja and Rajeev Juneja, is India's 4th largest pharmaceutical company by domestic sales. Headquartered in New Delhi with 28,000+ employees, it develops, manufactures, and commercializes affordable generic pharmaceuticals across acute and chronic therapeutic areas including anti-infectives, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, anti-diabetic, gynecology, dermatology, and CNS treatments. The company operates 32 manufacturing facilities with 43.5 billion units annual installed capacity across India, Nepal, and Germany, producing formulations, APIs (including India's first commercialized Dydrogesterone), biosimilars, and complex injectables/ophthalmics. Its 7 R&D centers employ 730+ scientists and have produced 76+ ANDA filings, 350+ patents, and novel molecules including a GPR119 agonist (Phase II) and JAK1 inhibitors.

The company generates revenue primarily through domestic pharmaceutical formulations (₹12,217 crore, 86% of FY25-26 total) and international operations (₹2,061 crore, +34.5% YoY) across 70+ countries via LifeStar Pharma (North America) and BSV (global biopharma). GTM relies on India's largest field force of 18,000+ representatives covering 5,00,000+ doctors through 13,000+ stockists, complemented by in-licensing partnerships (AstraZeneca, Takeda, Biocon) and consumer healthcare brands (Manforce condoms, Prega News pregnancy tests, Gas-O-Fast antacids) sold through retail channels. The December 2024 acquisition of Bharat Serums and Vaccines (BSV) for ₹13,770 crore added a biologics platform (including the world's first recombinant Anti-D immunoglobulin Trinbelimab) and made Mankind the domestic gynecology leader with 10.4% market share.
