    CONTENTS CHAIRMAN’S LETTER DEAR SHAREHOLDERS FY2012 has been a good year for your Company. The key financial results were: ¥ Consolidated revenues increased by 30% to Rs. 96.7 billion in FY2012. ¥ Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)1 rose by 55% to Rs. 25.4 billion. ¥ Profit after Tax (PAT)2 grew by 45% to Rs. 15.3 billion. ¥ Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) increased from Rs. 64.9 in FY2011 to Rs. 83.8 in FY2012. I am particularly delighted by four developments. First, your Company succeeded in yet another blockbuster generic launch in the USA under 180- days marketing exclusivity. Dr. Reddy’s launched olanzapine 20 mg tablets, the generic version of the brand Zyprexa®. Olanzapine is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This product has added around USD 100 million to your Company’s revenues for FY2012. Second, the biosimilars business continues along its impressive growth path. In my letter to you last year, I had discussed the critical importance of developing biosimilars in the years to come. I am happy to note that your Company’s global biosimilars business grew by 45% over last year and recorded sales of USD 26 million. Today, the biosimilars portfolio of Dr. Reddy’s constitutes (i) filgrastim, (ii) peg-filgrastim, (iii) rituximab and (iv) darbepoetin alfa, which have commercial presence in 13 countries among emerging markets. These are helping to treat patients suffering from cancer — and at prices that are significantly more affordable than the corresponding innovator drugs. Soon, I expect to see Dr. Reddy’s biosimilars entering developed markets.

  • An Exploration of the Institutions, Characteristics and Drivers of Elite Philanthropy in India
    Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Business & Law DRAFT An exploration of the institutions, characteristics and drivers of elite philanthropy in India John Godfrey BA, MSc, Grad. Dip Arts Admin Student ID 1700367 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Swinburne University of Technology, Faculty of Business & Law. Year of approval for award 2020. Abstract This thesis fills a gap in the empirical study of elite philanthropy which to date has been confined to mostly Western philanthropy, informed by Christian and Jewish norms and traditions. This research explores a tradition and practice of philanthropy which has its early roots in dharmic and Islamic tradition yet, as is shown, has been influenced by Western rules and norms. Twenty-eight philanthropists were interviewed. The two religions these respondents most identified with were Hindu or Parsi, though some identified as Jain, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist. The research applies a theoretical framework described as a moral citizenship. This framework brings together two theoretical models developed by Schervish - identification theory and moral biography (Schervish et al. 1998; Schervish and Havens 1997; Schervish and Havens 2001b, 2002; Schervish and Herman 1988; Schervish et al. 2001). These models, they argue, provide the most fruitful way to identify the social and psychological frameworks that mobilise the agency of philanthropists. The methodology used to apply this theoretical framework used long interviews in which respondents were given free rein to talk about their philanthropic activity in their own terms. This methodology follows in the steps of others such as Breeze and Lloyd (2013), Lloyd (2004), Odendahl (1990), Ostrower (1995), Panas (1984, 2019 [1984]), Scaife et al.

  • Cancer Kills Indian Drug Pioneer, Anji Reddy, at 72
    Cancer kills Indian drug pioneer, Anji Reddy, at 72 18 March 2013 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau Bangalore: Dr Kallam Anji Reddy, the founder and chairman of the $2 billion Indian pharma giant, Dr Reddy's Laboratories (DRL), died of cancer in Hyderabad at the age of 72 on March 15, 2013. Dr Reddy's mission in life was to provide innovative new medicines at a price that the common man could afford. His passion for research is evident from the fact that Dr Reddy's Laboratories became the first pharmaceutical company of India to initiate basic drug discovery research in 1993. He obtained his BSc in pharmaceutical science and fine chemicals from Bombay University and his PhD in chemical engineering from National Chemical Laboratory, Pune. He served in the state-owned IDPL before he founded DRL in 1984. Dr Reddy also set-up the Institute of Life Sciences and in 1998, set up the Naandi Foundation as a charitable trust. Naandi is probably India's largest rural safe drinking water provider, and gives midday meals to 1.3 million government school-going children and farmers. He also spearheaded and founded the Neo Natal Intensive Care and Emergencies called NICE Foundation, the only institute for newborns in Asia. Dr Reddy won several eminent accolades throughout his career, the most prominent being the Padma Bhushan (one of the highest civilian awards in India), which was awarded to him by the Government of India in April 2011 in recognition of his distinguished service of high order in the field of trade and industry.

  • Dr Kallam Anji Reddy: the Man Who Introduced India to the Drug Called Innovation
    Dr Kallam Anji Reddy: The man who introduced India to the drug called innovation By Gauri Kamath Dr Kallam Anji Reddy, founder of Hyderabad-based drugmaker Dr Reddy's Laboratories (DRL) and pioneering pharma entrepreneur who passed away on March 15, loved a challenge. This son of a turmeric farmer from Andhra Pradesh was in his element when faced with a seemingly intractable problem or hopeless cause. Whether it was discovering a breakthrough new drug for diabetes in his company's labs, or supplying safe drinking water to rural India through Naandi, the philanthropic organisation that he helped found, Reddy was always ready to pick up the gauntlet. Life did full justice to his enterprising spirit — it threw several challenges his way all of which he gamely tackled. What stood Reddy in good stead were his incurable optimism, his passion, his trust-and-delegate management style, and his ability to continuously seek inspiration. Imitation to Innovation Of the first two there is ample evidence through his career. In the 1980s, when the homegrown private sector was not the dominant force in pharmaceuticals that it is today, his fledgling drug company embarked on the road to reverse-engineer the best-known drugs of western multinationals (MNCs) at a fraction of their prices. He went after the most tough-to-produce ones; his first choice was blood pressure drug methyldopa. The innovator, US-based Merck, whom Reddy hoped to supply to, believed no Indian company could pull it off. Reddy was alien to such pessimism. His team hunkered down to the task and DRL eventually became the MNC's biggest supplier of the drug.
