The company aims to work on API and other domains; and plans to acquire their own production facility center at the earliest but for now has signed a 3rd party facility for immediate needs. The company is currently working on molecules for pharma and plans to roll out cost competent and non-infringing intermediates. The team has expertise in the fields of drug discovery, medicinal chemistry besides aroma chemicals.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Sunita Eyunni, Director, Tetra Med Sciences, said, “Covid19 impacted global supply chains especially in the pharma sector given the huge dependence on API from China; molecule development and formulation of drugs became a huge challenge not just in India but globally as well. As cost, quality & timely deliveries are critical components of the supply chain - Covid19 impact jeopardized the production schedule of pharma firms. Our new R&D Center at Hyderabad, the pharma hub of India is an important step in our commitment to the Government of India’s Atmanirbhar vision.”
