The company was able to successfully list Glenmark Lifesciences on the Indian bourses, and the out-licensing deal for ISB 880 with Almirall and USFDA approval for Ryaltris further established the drug firm as the leading innovation-driven pharma company in the country, he added.
“We are confident of growing our business with continuous emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and prioritising free cash generation for additional debt reduction,” Saldanha noted.
