Zithromax & Zoloft

With $20 billion in free cash reserves, the company certainly possesses the resources vital to remain alive and kicking even after this particularly huge setback, but consider this – it is currently faced with the titanic wall of financial erosion with its sales for its two other important drugs – Zithromax & Zoloft – also being hit by patent expirations. Jeffrey B. Kindler, CEO, Pfizer, does sound positive as he proclaims, “We understand the challenge that this represents and we will respond quickly and aggressively to it...”, but isn’t it also true that company officials had falsely announced that all’s well with the tests, just a few days before the heartbreaking announcement?

ONLY THE FITTEST SURVIVE...

THE SINGHS LOOK BEYOND FEUDS AND INDIA!
From intense family feuds to intended embracement of globalisation, the pharma major Ranbaxy can boast of it all. The company was acquired by Bhai Mohan Singh, who gradually inducted his three sons Parvinder, Manjit and Analjit into the business. It was in 1989 that Bhai Mohan Singh decided a three-way split of his assets and initiated a fifteen-year long feud between the brothers and an aged father.

Synonymous With SEZs

Then comes the glaring lack of consideration in allocating zones in inland regions, where freight viability by air or waterways – a factor synonymous with SEZs – is a tough ask, in most cases, geographically infeasible. With SEZs being allowed to take shape all across the country sans regard to such constraints, the very prospect of export units instantaneously arriving to set shop in scores of SEZs would tend to appear bleak. It doesn’t take Einstein to prefigure the consequence in this case: If developers involved with SEZs fail to recover their infrastructural expenses, which could well mean thousands of crores in many cases, the upshot will be fiscal mayhem not just for them, but for a multitude of banks & lending institutions, shareholders and bond purchasers.

Indian Home-Grown Brands

The company in the initial phase will import its products in SKD (semi knocked down) format and will eventually start production in India as soon as its Indian facility starts functioning. It is believed that after the success of Indian home-grown brands like Hero Honda and Bajaj, global companies including those in China, are exuberant for India. Today, two-wheelers form the backbone of Indian personal transportation and with increased purchasing powers among the general population, the market will only expand to unprecedented levels.
