History:
Ranbaxy was started by Ranbir Singh and Gurbax Singh in 1937 as a distributor for a Japanese
company Shionogi. The name Ranbaxy is a portmanteau word from the names of its first
owners Ranbir and Gurbax. Bhai Mohan Singh bought the company in 1952 from his cousins
Ranbir Singh and Gurbax Singh. After Bhai Mohan Singh's son Parvinder Singh joined the
company in 1967, the company saw a significant transformation in its business and scale.
In 1998, Ranbaxy entered the United States, the world's largest pharmaceuticals market and
now the biggest market for Ranbaxy, accounting for 28% of Ranbaxy's sales in 2005.
On 10 June 2008, Japan's Daiichi Sankyo Co. agreed to take a majority (50.1%) stake in Ranbaxy,
with a deal valued at about $4.6 billion. Ranbaxy's Malvinder Singh will remain CEO after the
transaction. Malvinder Singh also said that this was a strategical deal and not a sell out.
On June 11, 2008, Daiichi-Sankyo acquired a 34.8% stake in Ranbaxy, for a value $2.4 billion. In
November 2008, Daiichi-Sankyo completed the takeover of the company from the founding
Singh family in a deal worth $4.6 billion by acquiring a 63.92% stake in Ranbaxy.

ETHICAL STANDARDS FOLLOWED BY THE COMPANY
Practice dignity and equity in relationship and provide opportunities for our people to
realize their full potential
Manage our operations with high concern for safety and environment
The code of conduct document is a comprehensive compendium of ethical codes, which will
guide Ranbaxy corporate practices. It lays down specific guidelines for all employees in various
operational areas. These include business ethics, employment policies, equal employment
opportunities, sexual harassment, health, safety & environment. The Code also seeks to
prevent fraud and prescribes a due re-dress mechanism. To ensure that the Code is followed in
letter and spirit, the Company has established a Code Compliance Cell. The Cell ensures that the
Code is respected and appropriate action is taken to address violations, if any. The Code
Compliance Cell is proposed to operate at three levels viz. regional/country/plant to ensure
complete compliance. It is the responsibility of each Manager to ensure that the code is
adhered to.
Adhering to its firm commitment to ethical business conduct and corporate social
responsibility, Ranbaxy voluntarily discontinued its generic composition of an Arthritis drug,
Valdecoxib, following US FDA's cautionary views on innovator Pfizer's brand, Bextra, in the US.
The US FDA expressed its view that the overall risk versus benefit profile of the drug was
unfavorable. Ranbaxy was the first to launch this drug in India and also the first to discontinue it
from the market, without waiting for any formal directions from the government in this regard.

The Company's prompt action was in line with its philosophy of being a responsible corporate
citizen.
Corporate Social Commitment and Public Service is deeply embedded into the cultural fabric of
Ranbaxy. Over the years serious efforts have been directed towards making a meaningful
contribution to uplifting and transforming the lives of the underprivileged. The Company is also
extremely conscious of its duty and responsibility towards the environment. Ranbaxy makes
sincere efforts to promote good health, social development and better environment, through
various Company programs that contribute to sustainable, all round growth.
In 1978, in the wake of the grim health scenario in India, Ranbaxy realised the urgency to reach
out to the underprivileged sections of society that had little or no access to basic healthcare.
The Company took a conscious decision to contribute towards the national objective “Health
For All”. Towards this end, the “Ranbaxy Rural Development Trust” was set up and the first well
equipped mobile healthcare van was introduced, in certain underserved areas of Punjab. As the
programme grew, the Ranbaxy Community Healthcare Society (RCHS), an independent body,
was created, that is devoted to the health of the disadvantaged. Today, multiple well equipped
mobile healthcare vans and an urban family welfare centre, run by Ranbaxy, benefit over 2 lakh
people, in certain identified areas in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya
Pradesh and Delhi. The programme is based on an integrated approach of preventive,
promotive and curative services, covering areas of maternal child health, family planning,
reproductive health, adolescent health, health education including AIDS awareness.
Ranbaxy has entered into a Public Private Partnership (PPP) with the Punjab State Government,
to deliver healthcare services in identified districts of Punjab.

EHS GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The EHS Management System is developed on the framework of six Guiding Principles.
Background
Malaria is one of the most persistent and deadly diseases, claiming the lives of more than one
million people every year. The majority of its victims are children under the age of five and
pregnant women in developing countries.
Malaria is a major public health problem in more than 90 countries inhabited by more than 2.4
billion people – 40% of the world’s population. The disease is estimated to kill a child every 30
seconds and to cause up to 600 million new infections worldwide annually.
There are more people dying of malaria today than 30 years ago. The main cause of the
resurgence is drug resistance.
10 | P a g e
Development of resistance not only compromises the efficacy of existing anti-malarial
drugs but also threatens to pre-maturely terminate the useful therapeutic life of new
anti-malarial drugs
Lack of effective, affordable and appropriate treatment options
Ranbaxy has been working on the anti-malaria research project since May 2003. Although anti-
malarial drugs have a large market, it is a market with very limited resources. Together with the
challenges of drug resistance, poor health systems, lack of affordable, safe and convenient
treatment options, malaria treatment represents one of the largest unmet medical needs.
Ranbaxy is developing a synthetic peroxide anti-malarial drug in order to address this unmet
need. The company has commenced Phase-III clinical trials for its anti-malarial new drug,
Arterolane + PQP in India, Bangladesh and Thailand.
The Company is committed to developing a drug that is not only safe and effective, but also
affordable to people in India, Africa and other disease endemic countries.
Based in a malaria endemic country, Ranbaxy deeply identifies with the continuing crisis that
pandemics like malaria are causing in developing countries. The Company has therefore
committed its expertise in R&D to work towards a breakthrough in the treatment of this
important disease.
ANTI HIV/AIDS
Ranbaxy comprehensive anti-HIV portfolio comprises Bio-Equivalent Anti-Retrovirals (ARVs) and
Anti-Infectives for Opportunistic infections Ranbaxy, in its endeavor to make ARVs accessible to
patients around the world, is leveraging its global network of offices, affiliates, joint ventures
and alliances. With Ranbaxy products being marketed in over 125 countries and ground
11 | P a g e
operations in 46 countries, Ranbaxy provides pre & post sales support to institutions, NGOs,
and Ministries of Health, making Ranbaxy ARVs available in their respective treatment
programs Several humanitarian and government programmes have sourced ARVs from
Ranbaxy. Some of them being MoH-Nigeria, MSF in various countries, MDM-Cambodia, MEDS
in Kenya, etc. In Zambia, the Ministry of Health has lauded Ranbaxy's initiative in making
available quality ARVs at reasonable prices in that country. In Latin America, Ranbaxy's ARVs
have been registered in Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Guatemala among other countries. In South
East Asia, ARVs are being marketed in Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar already. Besides,
regulatory filings are on in several countries in these regions.
Encouraged by the positive response to its efforts to make quality anti-HIV generics, Ranbaxy is
committed to working on all possible fronts and seeking partnerships to improve access to
these medicines. Ranbaxy offers a complete basket of pharmaceuticals for several first line
HAART regimens. The current portfolio is the largest range of bio-equivalent generic ARVs
available from a single company. These products are manufactured at Ranbaxy's WHO
prequalified and USFDA approved facilities.

Key Highlights/Developments
The Company’s operating margins improved during the Quarter vis-à-vis corresponding
previous quarter, on account of sales of First-to-File (FTF) products in the USA, and
balanced growth across markets.
Most markets/businesses grew during the Quarter with robust growth across some of
the Company’s key markets/ businesses, including USA; Europe, led by Romania; CIS led
by Russia, and India.
To sharpen its focus on generics, the Company reached an agreement to transfer its
New Drug Discovery Research assets, to Daiichi Sankyo India Pharma Pvt Ltd (DSIN).
Ranbaxy launched Atorvastatin in Canada and South Africa. The launch in Canada, was
under the Company’s global settlement with Pfizer®. In South Africa, Ranbaxy was the
first to launch a generic version in the market.
Valacyclovir, an FTF product in the USA, achieved a peak market share of 74% before the
end of exclusivity during the Quarter.
The Company introduced Daiichi Sankyo’s innovative anti-platelet drug Prasita™
(Prasugrel), in India. During the Quarter, Ranbaxy launched 31 new products in India,
including 3 in-licensed products.
During the Quarter, emerging markets recorded sales of USD 230 Mn, a growth of 6%,
and contributed about 50% to global sales. Sales in developed markets amounted to
USD 203 Mn, a growth of 63%.
