Aside from the US, Sun Pharma has also captured a significant portion of the Indian market. Its products have been the more preferred prescription drugs for chronic therapies such as orthopedics, ophthalmology, diabetology, neurology, psychiatry and cardiology. The company is arguably the leading specialty therapy company in India.
Sun Pharma started in 1983 with just five products. Those earlier days were marked by an extreme drive for growth and the company is positioned to sustain such a drive through the 21st century. Now, Sun Pharma is recognized as the leading pharmaceutical company in India, placing fifth in the companies with the largest prescription sales – a rank Sun Pharma has sustained over the last decade.
