The company is also entering herbal prescription drug by creating super specialty herbal division to address diseases for which there is no allopathic cure available.

In years to come, the company will create total nine marketing division to address different segments and strengthen its marketing division by doubling employee strength.

2. Considering the company’s strong distributor’s network, it is in process of forging alliances with originators who are not present in India and are willing to license their products for Indian markets (supported by manufacturing strengths of group company Ind-Swift Laboratories Limited (ISLL) to supply low cost API) to make and market those products in India. On other hand company also plans to out-license its products and NDDS to domestic as well as global players.
