AstraZeneca to bring innovative drugs faster to India: MD
Mint Chennai
|March 06, 2025
AstraZeneca India has seen its profit and revenue jump in the past year, driven by a robust product portfolio focused on cancer and non-communicable diseases.
The drugmaker's British-Swedish parent has already received approvals for 14 products over the past two years, and aims to expedite more launches to bolster its business in India, a top company official said.
"Our first strategy is to bring innovative medicine faster into the country, which otherwise [patients] would go to other parts of the developed world to buy," Sanjeev Panchal, managing director of AstraZeneca India, told Mint in an interview.
