What Entod Pharmaceuticals does

Entod Pharmaceuticals Ltd is an India-based, family-owned specialty pharmaceutical company founded in 1977, headquartered in Mumbai with corporate offices in Navi Mumbai and operations across 67+ countries. The company develops and manufactures prescription medicines in three therapeutic verticals — ophthalmology, ear-nose-throat (ENT), and dermatology — with a portfolio of more than 300 finished products including eye drops, intracameral injectables, ear drops, nasal sprays, gel serums, creams, ointments and oral dosage forms. Notable products include CYCLOTEARS (SEDDS-based inflammatory eye drops), PresVu (first-in-India pilocarpine eye drops for presbyopia), MYATRO XL (atropine eye drops for myopia control), PHENOCAINE PLUS (intracameral injection for cataract surgery) and COLLADERM (AI-bio-engineered collagen serum). Proprietary technology platforms include the Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SEDDS), the Stabilised Oxychloro Complex (SOC) ophthalmic preservative licensed through a wholly-owned UK R&D subsidiary (Entod Research Cell UK / ERC Labs) and Medisearch Laboratories, and an AI-bio-engineering platform used in dermatology product development.

The business operates a prescription-led, sales-driven model rather than OTC or direct-to-consumer primary distribution: more than 1,500 field-based representatives cover all Indian states, with parallel international export operations under ENTOD International reaching the UK, EU, Africa and Asia. In India, finished formulations are subject to NPPA drug-pricing regulation; internationally, products are sold through regulated export channels against prescriptions of registered practitioners. Adjacent revenue streams include specialty excipients (the SOC preservative is supplied to third-party eye-drop manufacturers globally) and a minority stake in the D2C ocular-aesthetics brand Eyecirque. Manufacturing facilities are US FDA, MHRA and WHO GMP certified; quality systems are ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 22716 certified. Founder-controlled by the Masurkar family, with CEO Nikkhil K Masurkar (a Kings College London-trained research pharmacist) and Chairman Kishore Masurkar, the company also runs an academic engagement platform (ENTOMEET, 2,000+ webinars) and digital adherence tools (iAssist, OpenRx Timer mobile apps) directed at ophthalmologists, ENT specialists, dermatologists and their patients.
