    COMPANY PROFILE

    Ranbaxy, a leading name in pharma and healthcare has recently started a new

    initiative in OTC drugs, with a focus to take advantage of the growing Rs

    3000 crore OTC market in India. This new division is called Ranbaxy Global

    Consumer Healthcare. Some of the erstwhile schedule H brands that have

    been transferred to the OTC umbrella include Zensar, Pepfiz, Garlic Pearls

    and Gesdyp. Zensar enjoys the flagship brand status among the switch

    brands

    The OTC brand of Zensar is being supported with a TV ad campaign

    involving three creatives. Spends have been made on both C&S and

    Doordarshan channels.

    The Brand

    Zensar is a comprehensive daily food supplement that has a balanced

    combination of vitamins, minerals & ginseng.

    Zensar was launched in 1989 as a prescription drug. The drug was promoted

    as a product for energy enhancement, anti-stress and fighting fatigue, which

    emanated from its key ingredient Ginseng.

    However with the market dynamics changing with the rise of anti oxidant

    category in prescriptions, prescription share of Zensar dropped through the

    nineties. The brand however retained its volumes owing to consumers buying

    it over the counter.

    In 1999, it was taken off Schedule H of the drug controllers and became an

    OTC product. Its currently classified as a food supplement.

    6/88

    Key markets for Zensar include lower population strata towns and rural

    markets as well.

    The Category

    The category, Adult Health Supplements, consists of Zensar, Becosule, other

    vitamin capsules, Spirulina, Brahmi and Ashwagandha poppables from

    Himalaya and other OTX drugs. (Drugs pushed by the Chemist, even if not

    prescribed the doctor) While Zensar faces competion from these drugs, the

    penetration of these brands is lowand occasional/ need based use is

    predominant. Therefore the marketing task would be category creation,

    rather than fighting for share from other players. Usage of these drugs is

    usually linked to rejuvenation, energy enhancement, anti oxidant and anti

    stress benefits. In terms of pricing, Becosule is a cheaper alternative to

    Zensar. RGCH would now like to track the impact of the TV campaign and

    other marketing activity on brand health and build up of associations with the

    brand in consumer minds.

    INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

    The Indian pharmaceutical industry is a success story providing employment

    for millions and ensuring that essential drugs at affordable prices are

    available to the vast population of this sub-continent.

    The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry today is in the front rank of Indias

    science-based industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field

    of drug manufacture and technology. A highly organized sector, the Indian

    Pharma Industry is estimated to be worth $ 4.5 billion, growing at about 8 to

    9 percent annually. It ranks very high in the third world, in terms of

    technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured. From simple

    headache pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds,

    almost every type of medicine is now made indigenously.

    The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than

    20,000 registered units. It has expanded drastically in the last two decades.

    The leading 250 pharmaceutical companies control 70% of the market with

    market leader holding nearly 7% of the market share. It is an extremely

    fragmented market with severe price competition and government price

    control.

    The pharmaceutical industry in India meets around 70% of the country's

    demand for bulk drugs, drug intermediates, pharmaceutical formulations,

    chemicals, tablets, capsules, orals and injectibles. There are about 250 large

    units and about 8000 Small Scale Units, which form the core of the

    7

  • 8/3/2019 Project Report on Zensar Pharma

    8/88

    pharmaceutical industry in India (including 5 Central Public Sector Units).

    These units produce the complete range of pharmaceutical formulations, i.e.,

    medicines ready for consumption by patients and about 350 bulk drugs, i.e.,

    chemicals having therapeutic value and used for production of

    pharmaceutical formulations

    Following the de-licensing of the pharmaceutical industry, industrial

    licensing for most of the drugs and pharmaceutical products has been done

    away with. Manufacturers are free to produce any drug duly approved by the

    Drug Control Authority. Technologically strong and totally self-reliant, the

    pharmaceutical industry in India has low costs of production, low R&D

    costs, innovative scientific manpower, strength of national laboratories and

    an increasing balance of trade. The Pharmaceutical Industry, with its rich

    scientific talents and research capabilities, supported by Intellectual Property

    Protection regime is well set to take on the international market.

    ADVANTAGES

    Competent workforce:

    India has a pool of personnel with high managerial and technical competence

    as also skilled workforce. It has an educated work force and English is

    commonly used. Professional services are easily available.

    Cost-effective chemical synthesis: Its track record of development,

    particularly in the area of improved cost-beneficial chemical synthesis for

    various drug molecules is excellent. It provides a wide variety of bulk drugs

    and exports sophisticated bulk drugs.

    8

    9/88

    Legal & Financial Framework: India has a 53 year old democracy and

    hence has a solid legal framework and strong financial markets. There is

    already an established international industry and business community.

    Information & Technology: It has a good network of world-class

    educational institutions and established strengths in Information Technology.

    Globalisation: The country is committed to a free market economy and

    globalization. Above all, it has a 70 million middle class market, which is

    continuously growing.

    Consolidation: For the first time in many years, the international

    pharmaceutical industry is finding great opportunities in India. The process

    of consolidation, which has become a generalized phenomenon in the world

    pharmaceutical industry, has started taking place in India

    THE GROWTH SCENARIO

    India's US$ 3.1 billion pharmaceutical industry is growing at the rate of 14

    percent per year. It is one of the largest and most advanced among the

    developing countries.

    Over 20,000 registered pharmaceutical manufacturers exist in the country.

    The domestic pharmaceuticals industry output is expected to exceed Rs260

    billion in the financial year 2002, which accounts for merely 1.3% of the

    global pharmaceutical sector. Of this, bulk drugs will account for Rs 54 bn

    9

  • 8/3/2019 Project Report on Zensar Pharma

    10/88

    (21%) and formulations, the remaining Rs 210 bn (79%). In financial year

    2001, imports were Rs 20 bn while exports were Rs87 bn.

    STEPS TO STRENGTHEN THE INDUSTRY

    Indian companies need to attain the right product-mix for sustained future

    growth. Core competencies will play an important role in determining the

    future of many Indian pharmaceutical companies in the post product-patent

    regime after 2005. Indian companies, in an effort to consolidate their

    position, will have to increasingly look at merger and acquisition options of

    either companies or products. This would help them to offset loss of new

    product options, improve their R&D efforts and improve distribution to

    penetrate markets.

    Research and development has always taken the back seat amongst Indian

    pharmaceutical companies. In order to stay competitive in the future, Indian

    companies will have to refocus and invest heavily in R&D.

    The Indian pharmaceutical industry also needs to take advantage of the

    recent advances in biotechnology and information technology. The future of

    the industry will be determined by how well it markets its products to several

    regions and distributes risks, its forward and backward integration

    capabilities, its R&D, its consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, co-

    marketing and licensing agreements

    Current demand in the Indian pharmaceutical sector stands at about $4 to $5

    billion, and is forecast to increase at an annual rate of 15 - 20% in the future.

    Nevertheless, average per capita expenditure on pharmaceuticals in India is

    10

  • 8/3/2019 Project Report on Zensar Pharma

    11/88

    only $3 -- compared to $412 in Japan, $222 in Germany and $191 in the US.

    This is due in part to the prevalence of alternative healing methods in India,

    such as ayurvedic medicine and homeopathy, but also because prices for

    drugs have been kept artificially low by the Indian government. In fact,

    India's pharmaceutical industry is one of the most highly regulated industries

    in the country. Price controls have a strong effect on profitability in the

    industry, and weak patent protection poses a long-term threat to investment

    in India's drug market. Foreign firms also find it difficult to operate in India

    due to arbitrary Bureau of Industrial Cost and Pricing (BICP) pricing

    changes, arbitrary local FDA decisions, high import duties (about 42%) and

    complex import procedures.

    However, while the pharmaceutical sector in India wills most likely stay

    regulated in the short term, there are plans for reform. The sheer size and

    growth of India's domestic pharmaceutical industry is making it increasingly

    difficult for the government to regulate prices for every single firm, and

    pressure from the World Trade Organization is also speeding up discussions

    within the national government to improve patent protection. As a result,

    foreign pharmaceutical firms can expect improved market opportunities in

    India's enormous drug market over next several years

    MARKET STRUCTURE OF THE INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL

    INDUSTRY

    The Indian pharmaceutical industry is highly fragmented -- there are now

    more than 20,000 domestic manufacturers of end-use pharmaceuticals,

    particularly because of the industry's low capital requirement and the lack of

    product patents. Only about 300 of these are in the organized sector. This

    structure causes intense competition, especially in the bulk drug markets,

    with profitability falling as demand expands.

    For value purposes, drugs in India are generally classified into two categories

    -- bulk drugs and formulations. Due to India's low overhead costs, bulk drugs

    comprise the largest sector in the country's pharmaceutical market. Indias

    bulk drug sector also makes up about 6% of the international bulk drug

    market. Drug intermediates are used as raw materials for the production of

    bulk drugs, which are either sold directly or retained by companies for the

    production of formulations. Formulations can be subdivided into generic

    drugs and branded or "ethical" drugs, the latter of which are made under

    process patent and sold under a separate brand name. Expected short-term

    growth for the two types of drugs has been 20% for bulk drugs and 15% for

    formulations.

    The import of finished pharmaceuticals is almost negligible, and confined to

    very specific types like anti-cancer drugs. In 1994, the import of drugs,

    pharmaceuticals and intermediates was estimated at $450 million, and

    included the following: antibiotics, penicillin and its salts, erythromycin and

    its preparations, vitamins and provitamins, vaccines (polio, human and

    12

  • 8/3/2019 Project Report on Zensar Pharma

    13/88

    veterinary), preparations containing insulin, caustic and other hormones, and

    tetracycline and its preparations.

    Essential drugs comprised of antibiotics, antibacterial, anti-TB, anti-parasitic,

    and cardiovascular constitute a major portion of turnover of the industry.

    Indian companies dominate this class of drugs with a market share of 71%.

    Multinational companies are reluctant to enter these markets as most of them

    are under government price controls.

    How to identify and alleviate risk and regulatory non-compliance using

    industry accepted Governance framework?

    Why Business-IT alignment is still the CIOs top priority?

    These are some of the acute problems faced by organizations today, with one

    common thread binding them all - immature process. It is the prime cause

    for inefficiencies and ineffectiveness. It leads to duplication of work,

    inconsistency, lack of common goal, inability to scale up, silo focus, lack of

    measurement and improvement and many more.

    We, at Zensars ITPC (IT Process Consulting) practice, help you to simplify,

    optimize and thus improve maturity of the underlying processes. Our focus is

    on

    - delivering solutions targeted at enhancing productivity

    - improve service and project delivery

    Independent Testing Services

    Dont let cost of poor quality burn your margins. Adopt independent

    testing!

    Software testing plays a pivotal role in program assurance. The impact

    implementation.

    vital business-enabling function within any organization undertaking

    critical transformation programs. Software testing plays a crucial role

    in program assurance activities, helps achieve lean IT operations,

    provides business enablement and also control the Total Cost of

    Ownership (TCO).

    Zensar has setup a Testing Centre of Excellence to drive the adoption

    of a disciplined approach towards testing from a quality control and

    assurance perspective. Our processes and frameworks assist in the

    Over The Counter Products

    India continues to hold a significant pharmaceutical market potential, not

    least due to its large and rapidly expanding population. Prescription drugs

    account for around two-thirds of the total market, with over-the-counter

    (OTC) products likely to benefit from the liberalisation of retail channels

    anticipated during the forecast period. Generics represent less than 40% of

    the market by value, although intellectual property (IP) regime shortcomings

    allow for the production and use of counterfeit drugs. India's imports of

    medicines are expected to overtake its exports, resulting in a trade deficit of

    US$300mn by 2010, although foreign acquisitions by large domestic generic

    manufacturers will boost exports of cheaper drugs. The Indian drug sector

    remains highly competitive, with the state pricing policy continuing to stifle

    growth and the new drug patent law set to increase foreign company activity.

    BMI expects the pharmaceutical sector to grow by some 8% in 2006, behind

    the country's major Asian rival, China. Sales are likely to exceed US$15.2bn

    by 2010, with annual growth at around 9%. The growth of 'civilisation'

    diseases, boosted by changing demographics and rising healthcare

    expectations, will simulate the need for cardiovascular, neurological,

    metabolic and cancer drugs in particular. The treatment of infective diseases,

    especially hepatitis and HIV/AIDS, will necessitate supplies from abroad,

    while simultaneously encouraging local research and development (R&D)

    activities in this direction. Expected liberalisation of over-the-counter (OTC)

    medicine sales channels will in the short term result in shrinking profits, but

    in the longer term boost the sector's performance. However, the expected

    62

  • 8/3/2019 Project Report on Zensar Pharma

    63/88

    price cuts will have a significant negative effect on all sectors of the industry

    and its commitment to local R&D and future launches, while potentially

    boosting trade in counterfeits.

    In regional terms, India will outperform a number of its neighbours, boosted

    by its ongoing industrial development, foreign direct investment and

    overseas activities. However, IP and pricing problems will continue to hinder

    pharmaceutical sector growth over the coming years. Indeed, the government

    is planning to reduce the prices of approximately 8% of all drugs sold in the

    country, with the most expensive treatments receiving the largest cuts.

    Nevertheless, BMI's adjusted Business Environment Rankings for Asia place

    India in sixth place, behind China.

    Indian firms continue to expand in advanced markets, both through outright

    acquisitions of overseas facilities and generic product approvals in advanced

    markets. Most recently, Venus Remedies has secured a deal to export its

    oncology products to Ukraine. International companies remain interested in

    the Indian market, which is developing due to population growth, as well as

    improvements in economic conditions and patent law. Consequently, new

    launches will become a more frequent occurrence. US-based Bristol-Myers

    Squibb has recently introduced Baraclude to meet the rising, but as yet

    unmet, medical need for chronic hepatitis B treatment in India.
