New possibilities. New adventures. New excitements. New returns. This something new does not mean that we stop doing what we have been doing altogether, it points to doing more than what we have been doing with our existing infrastructure and capitalisation. Our new does not involve creating a new vertical that guzzles cash and time. It is more about adding new muscles to our existing verticals that deliver returns in the short term as well as in the long term. VIVIMED LABS LIMITED The new does not imply that we unlearn and relearn new skills. It is primarily about harnessing and deploying our niche more deftly and skilfully. 2 At Vivimed, we are excited about this something more that promises to make our tomorrow better than it 2019-20 Report Annual ever was. 3 Business model innovation is undoubtedly here to stay. And that isn’t surprising. The economic slowdown, and the drive to optimise healthcare costs in the developed world is forcing companies catering to these markets to relook and modify their business model. The workable strategy that is gaining acceptance is to look beyond the developed to the developing world. VIVIMED LABS LIMITED 4 So, even as developed In keeping with this economies labour to sort reality, we, at Vivimed out internal and external Labs, have sharpened challenges, developing our focus on growing nations emerge as the our presence in these 2019-20 Report Annual near-term opportunity promising geographies. havens. 5 CIS Markets We are entrenching ourselves in the CIS markets. We have filed 18 dossiers of which 10 have been approved and supplies are expected to commence in FY21. Canada We are strengthening our presence in Canada as a reliable CDMO player. We have partnered with multiple pharmaceutical companies. About 15 products are under various stages of development and evaluation. MENA We plan to launch niche products in the Middle East countries and Northern Africa by forging alliances with partners in this region. South-East Asia We are working to forge multi- product CDMO agreements with a leading pharmaceutical Company which promises to strengthen our presence in this region. VIVIMED LABS LIMITED 6 These efforts, as they fructify, will strengthen our presence in the global pharma space, and create a robust platform for us to leapfrog into the regulated markets over 2019-20 Report Annual the medium term. 7 Every day contains within it countless opportunities, all dictated by the choices you make. Some of those choices may seem inconsequential when you face them. Because they are little things. But there is a certain adventure in doing it, for the possibility. Because the truth is, those possibilities are always within your reach. The possibility that if you make minor tweaks you may set the stage for major fulfilment. Because, sometimes even the smallest shift can build the platform for sustained success. VIVIMED LABS LIMITED At Vivimed, we have made an important choice, one that promise to give wings to our growth aspirations. 8 Annual Report 2019-20 Report Annual 9 We have decided to widen our delivery platform base from solid dosages to sterile dosages (nasal sprays and ophthalmic products).

    ON TRACK Annual Report 2017-18 On track… We have relied on strong, decisive actions to overcome significant challenges in the last few years. To fast-track growth at Vivimed Labs Limited (Vivimed), we hived off our non-focus areas in both pharmaceutical and specialty chemicals segments. We reduced the debt in our books in a consistent manner and focussed on identifying and correcting the major bottlenecks in our business. Along with this much-needed cleanup exercise, we have formed long-term, strategic joint ventures in our pharmaceuticals business to achieve higher visibility on revenues and to tap into newer, high-potential markets. We also made synergistic acquisitions that will enable us to provide end-to-end solutions to customers across the entire value chain of our contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) segment. We believe these efforts will start yielding rich dividends from here on. Our focus and foresight are an outcome of the able guidance of our management and strong execution capabilities of our people. After clearly identifying our growth opportunities, we are on track to take our Company to the next level of value creation.

    Reverse Knowledge Transfer in Indian MNEs ===================================== Smitha Ravindranathan Nair Thesis submitted to The University of Sheffield in partial fulfilment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Management School The University of Sheffield November 2013 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Mehmet Demirbag and Professor Kamel Mellahi for their support and guidance during my doctoral research. I am grateful for the time and effort they spent towards my research and for my publications. It would have been almost impossible for me to complete this journey without their continuous support and encouragement. I would also like to thank my family; my husband, parents and brother who have always been there for me when I needed them. Their belief in me was a constant source of inspiration that kept me going on this journey. I am also thankful to all the managers who spent their valuable time to respond to my questionnaire. I really appreciate their thoughtfulness and the consideration they have shown towards my research. Last but not the least; I am thankful to God Almighty who gave me the required strength and perseverance. 1 ABSTRACT Emerging Market Multinational Enterprises (EM MNEs) and their growing importance in the current global economic and business scenario has attracted much scholarly attention. An important aspect in the growth of these EM MNEs is their rapid catching up strategies which has been discussed extensively in the international business (IB), management and strategy literature. Indian MNEs, one of the prominent amongst EM MNEs, have had their share of overseas acquisitions, more so in the last decade.Their international expansions along with the subsequent knowledge transactions and associated learning have played a vital role when it comes to their catching up strategies as latecomers in the international scene.
