The affected lot has been produced at Sun's Dadra-based plant, the USFDA stated. The US-based unit of the company -- Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc -- is recalling the lot due to "Failed content uniformity specifications," it added. The New Jersey based firm initiated the Class III recall on March 9. As per USFDA, a Class III recall is initiated in a "situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences."

To extend its support during such testing times, Pharmaceutical giant Mankind Pharma has pivoted its <keyword id="489452" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="marketing-strategy">marketing strategy</keyword> by using its advertising tools to spread awareness and spark more empathy towards our frontline workers. <div type="twitter" handle="Pharma_Mankind" handlename="Mankind Pharma" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/922748683996688389/Ttocwphx_normal.jpg" favoritecount="52" retweetcount="5" status="- Lowers the risk of heart disease- Strengthens the immune system- Helps the body absorb iron- Prevents common c… https://t.co/tW2EKtOCQB" createdat="1621406840000" id="1394907505117908996"></div> <div type="twitter" handle="Pharma_Mankind" handlename="Mankind Pharma" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/922748683996688389/Ttocwphx_normal.jpg" favoritecount="971" retweetcount="37" status="Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure, make sure to examine regularly and take con… https://t.co/hQ8XQPShto" createdat="1621239060000" id="1394203786600620032"></div> Telling us more about the company's larger marketing strategy now, Joy Chatterjee, General Manager of Sales and Marketing, Mankind Pharma said, “We are using our social media handles to put out the right knowledge and positive messages for the consumers. In the past few months, we have observed that people are tagging us to help them out the relevant information with regards to medicine, vaccination and others. We have ensured to extend our help, and are trying our best to respond to all the queries.” While COVID has been around for more than a year now and we are now used to working from home, this year feels nothing like 2020. Every social media post reminds us of the severity of the situation. At such a time, brands are trying to do their bit by donating, amplifying SoS requests on social media or volunteering. For Chatterjee, 2020 was a test match that helped him prepare for the storm and shift in the digital landscape. Now, he is trying to focus more on helping out his employees, finding a valid cause to associate with and come up with empathetic campaigns. “During the first phase of lockdown, we all witnessed numerous changes like the sudden shift to WFH, the two months imposed lockdown disrupted the supply chain. E-commerce business observed a tremendous response, as people relied on such apps for the delivery of products. However, in the second wave, all of us are more prepared and equipped for WFH and supply chain management. The situation related to lockdown vis-a-vis corona cases is different. The earlier experience has helped us on how to perform, and what sort of strategies should be implemented to avoid the hurdles,” said he. As an essential service provider, the major challenge for Mankind Pharma right now is to maintain its supply chain but it is focusing on digital mediums to reach out to a wider audience. Chatterjee shared, “There has been a lot of restriction due to lockdown in many states which is resulting in slow movement in our logistics. However, lockdown is necessary also to break the chain, and we strongly support the government. There is no doubt that the Pandemic has come with a shift in consumer preferences as well in terms of media consumption, people are spending a lot of time on digital media platforms and we are also focusing on such mediums. For instance, we choose mediums as per the demand, and right now we are highly focused on the digital medium to reach the target audience.” Mankind Pharma had launched a campaign three weeks ago with brand ambassador Anil Kapoor as a tribute to frontline warriors. It also contributed Rs 100 crore to families of Frontline martyred warriors and allocated Rs 40 crore from its CSR funds to help COVID patients and their families struggling for oxygen cylinders and concentrators. <div type="Youtube" id="_OTJk6aI06U" title="Mankind Pharma | 100 Crores tribute to the Frontline Warriors | Hindi" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_OTJk6aI06U/mqdefault.jpg"></div> This lockdown, a few Indian brands have put a pause on their advertising to give their consumers space to process or they have launched empathetic campaigns as a reminder of togetherness and better tomorrow. According to Chatterjee, if a brand is communicating during such times, he said that relevant and empathetic communication are the key areas that should be visible and adopted in the strategy. “Times are such, even if brands are not relevant to the Covid-19 situation, they have to show compassion and empathy to the unprecedented situation. Brands are apprehensive of not being compassionate and empathetic to the situation. Riding on a trend is important but it's always for short-term benefit, brands always try to explore different opportunities to communicate about their benefits keeping the core message universal,” elaborated Chatterjee. The second wave has pushed all leaders to prioritise their employees’ wellbeing and keep their business’ goals on hold. As a leader, Chatterjee’s focus areas have changed too. “Our employee wellbeing is our utmost priority,” said Chatterjee. “We have created a separate to-do list for employees to keep them safe which includes regular updates about their health, how to take precautions or preventive measures to keep themselves and family safe. We are keeping track of the vaccination, and we are making sure that all our employees get vaccinated. Mankind Pharma works on three core principles – People, product and seamless process in functioning the business across the company. In these hard-hitting times, we have ensured working remotely for everyone and have offered support to those in need to promote positive mental health amongst employees. Mankind Pharma has also increased the insured amount for medical urgencies.” However, Mankind Pharma’s revenue goals and growth targets remain the same. Chatterjee is optimistic that the company will continue to grow this year as per their plan. “Our numbers are still intact, and we are quite optimistic that the numbers will surpass this year due to our thoughtful preparation. There are no changes to our predefined goals,” said Chatterjee. According to IQVAI report, Mankind Pharma is the fourth largest pharmaceutical company in India. Indian pharma industry will have to grow at a CAGR of 12% to reach $130 billion by 2030 from $41.7 billion in 2020.

Even if brands are not relevant to the Covid-19 situation, they’ve to show compassion and empathy to the unprecedented situation: Joy Chatterjee, Mankind Pharma

The IPO has made its initial investors 22% richer in the past two days — gaining over ₹7748 crore ($1.05 billion) since its debut to the current market capitalisation of ₹35,669 crore. <div type="image" title="Gland Pharma share (2)" msid="79363622" hostid="261"></div> Despite the muted response from investors during the initial public issue, the shares listed at a premium of 13% and closed 21% higher on the first day of the debut. And, the stocks were trading 18% higher at ₹2,143 apiece on November 23 at 10:20 am. This was the 13th company to list this year and the largest ever a public issue in the Indian pharma industry. The party may not be over yet! While you may have missed the listing gains, the investment experts believe there are a lot more lies ahead for the Gland Pharma investors. Chakri Lokapriya, CIO &amp; MD, TCG AMC <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/expert-view/can-gland-pharma-stock-see-more-upside/articleshow/79338981.cms">told Economic Times</a>, that “the company’s profitability and growth are very reasonable. It has 45-50% of its revenue coming from a few large clients, and that does present some kind of concentration risk. But just the breadth of the business allows the company to continue to do well. I think there is still upside from the current levels for Gland Pharma.” <div type="image" title="Gland Pharma profit and revenue (2)" msid="79363627" hostid="261"></div> The experts believe that its strong financials have been the reason investors ignored its Chinese promoter. “The stock is trading above its midcap pharma peers but higher valuations justified by the last 3-year revenue growth and PAT growth of 27% and 55% CAGR respectively. Any dip in price can be a good opportunity for long-term investors,” said Yash Gupta, Equity Research Associate at Angel Broking. The company has its business spread over 60 countries and a great track record of revenue delivery and profitability across the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, India and the rest of the world. Some of its top B2B clients include Sagent Pharmaceuticals and Apotex as well as Fresenius Kabi USA and Athenex Pharmaceutical Division in the United States and the rest of the world.

This is the third buyback done by the company in the last three years. In 2020, the company had bought 7.35 lakh shares at ₹1,850 per share and in 2019 it had bought 7.69 lakh shares at ₹1,300. <div type="image" title="ajanta pharma sahre" height="900" width="1200" msid="88539746" hostid="261"></div> Usually, a share buy back is done to reduce the number of outstanding shares in the market and increase the shares of the stakeholders. Also, a company might also buy back shares if it believes the share price is below the intrinsic value. In Ajanta Pharma’s case, shares of the company have performed well and surged 40% in 2021. The Maharashtra-based company’s financial performance has also seen a smooth growth trajectory. The company is a specialty pharmaceutical formulation company engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of quality finished dosages. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Particulars </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Total income </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Profit </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Jul-Sep </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹914 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹195 crore </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Apr-Jun </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹780 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹173 crore </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Jan-Mar </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹759 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹159 crore </td></tr></tbody></table> SEE ALSO: <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/finance/banks/news/there-is-a-small-pool-of-hope-amid-all-the-fear-around-rbl-bank/articleshow/88538626.cms">There is a small pool of hope amid all the fear around RBL Bank</a> <a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/supriya-lifescience-beats-ipo-investors-expectations-and-debuts-with-55-premium/articleshow/88536233.cms">Supriya Lifescience beats IPO investors expectations and debuts with 55% premium</a>
