In Ranbaxy
Many Indian companies that perform well in domestic markets have not yet
expanded to the International arena. Several factors such as lack of confidence,
lack of technical know how and perhaps lack of resources inhibit leading Indian
groups to expand their area of activities to other parts of the world. HRM can play
a crucial role in changing the attitude of the company and its employees in order to
facilitate entry and presence in the foreign markets. This is effectively illustrated in the case of
the Indian pharmaceutical giant RANBAXY which succeeded in
expanding its business internationally due to the single-handed determination of its past CEO,
Dr. Parvinder Singh, and the manner in which he managed to change the mindset of his
employees

Company Strategies:
For the year 2009, Ranbaxy has a clear strategy to harness its growth potential in
emerging markets, rebuild the US business through a series of actions on products
and facilities; actualize significant revenue upsides through First-to-File and Day-
1 launches strengthen the product / therapeutic pipeline and look for M&A
opportunities, complementing our geographic and therapeutic basket. Our focus
will be to resolve regulatory compliance issues and continue to strengthen cGMP
across all locations. Besides this, Ranbaxy and Daiichi Sankyo will identify key
projects to realize synergies at both the front and back ends of the business,
although, there will be much to contend with, considering that the industry is
projected to grow at around 5% in 2009.
Ranbaxy is focused on increasing the momentum in the generics business in its key markets
through organic and inorganic growth routes. The Company continues to evaluate acquisition
opportunities in India, emerging and developed markets to strengthen its business and
competitiveness. Growth is well spread across geographies with focus on emerging markets.
Ranbaxy has forayed into new specialty therapeutic segments like Bio-similars, Oncology,
Peptides and Limuses. These new growth areas will add significant depth to the existing product
pipeline.
COMPITETORS:
Conclusion

Dosage Form sales constituted 93% of global sales during the year as against 94% in
2007. Overseas markets constituted 80% of the total sales of the Company
Consistent depreciation of the rupee in 2008 and large exposure of the Company’s
business to the international markets has resulted in substantial foreign exchange losses
of Rs.10,856 Mn on forward covers and loans.

from October 1, 2008, Accounting Standard 30 on “Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. As a result,
a net loss of Rs. 7,702 Mn was recognized during the year basis the fair value
measurement principle suggested in the Standard.
