It’s wonderful that our Cipla history has at last been documented for everyone to read and reflect on. This book encapsulates the intrepid vision of our founders, the hard work of our employees and invaluable partnerships over the years. It’s also a reminder of our continued vision of “Caring for life” and making a difference in patients’ lives.

For me Cipla is not a company but a hallowed institution in service to humanity and therefore it has a very special place in my heart. It is matter of great pride and privilege for me to be a part of this institution. This book is a chronicle of what makes a company great, to preserve the purpose, culture and ethos for more than eight decades – this is no mean task.

This book by Tulsi Vatsal is an inspiring look into Cipla's 85 years of #caringforlife legacy. Not many know that Cipla's founder (Dr. KA Hamied) was inspired by Gandhiji's visit to Cipla offices in 1939 and made the commitment that "never again will India be starved of essential drugs". Everyone today proudly knows that India is called 'pharmacy of the world', but only few may know that Cipla was perhaps one of the earliest pioneers in helping India achieve this status. Like all success stories (US$7bn market cap, 25000 employees, 80 countries, 1500 products today), it is not just the celebration of one organization, but of the passion, innovation, hope and resilience of all entrepreneurs.
