- Eighty Nineth Annual General Meeting
==> picture [84 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Address by Dr Y K Hamied on 16[th] July 2025, Chairman, Cipla Limited
Dear Shareholders,
Welcome to all of you at the 89[th] Annual General Meeting of your Company. This year, 2025, marks a significant milestone - Cipla will be 90 on 17[th] August. We are proud that over these years we have been of service to society. Throughout this period, Cipla has been guided by a vision - a strong determination to do good for humanity by providing access to affordable, high-quality medicines, not only in India, but globally. This mission remains relevant even today, and we continue to be deeply involved and committed to our compassionate purpose of ‘Caring for Life’.
Personally, I have been involved with Cipla since its inception. It has been a long, happy, and productive association. The 65 years that I have spent actively in Cipla since 1960 has been the most rewarding experience. Our performance is a testament to our overall business strategy and work ethics. Cipla continues to be among the leading generic pharmaceutical companies, not only in India, but also in Africa, USA, Europe and has a growing presence in selected markets around the world.
Over the years, Cipla has evolved from a pioneering indigenous pharmaceutical company into a global generic supplier of medicines. This journey has been promoted by R&D, innovation, quality control and the pursuit of excellence in whatever we do. As we look ahead, we will continue along the same path to achieve a vibrant Cipla of the future.
There are many areas in healthcare where Cipla has specifically focused and defined long-term commitment. First and foremost is our leadership in respiratory medicine. We are also actively collaborating to combat the global crisis of Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR). Cipla remains committed to providing relevant and advanced therapies across a broad spectrum of health issues including cardiac, cancer, mental health, obesity, urology, and other critical chronic and acute diseases.
Cipla’s mission goes beyond business and incorporates a humanitarian approach in the area of healthcare. Since its inception in 1997, the Palliative Care & Training Centre in Pune has provided solace, comfort and care to over 25,000 patients and their families. We have extended our palliative care services appropriately to over 30 cities in India. This initiative reflects Cipla’s total involvement to care beyond cure.
We now have a global workforce of around 30,000 employees, who all play a vital role in Cipla’s development and progress. We all share a sense of purpose, passion, and pride to uphold the strong values on which Cipla stands.
I would like to express the Company’s and my personal thanks to my brother, Mr. M. K. Hamied, who joined Cipla in 1974 and retired in 2024 after spending 50 years in managing our Company. His visionary leadership has been instrumental in shaping Cipla’s growth over the years. Without his inputs, Cipla would not be where we are currently ranked. Though he has formally retired, he continues to offer invaluable guidance on many company’s issues, especially in our Corporate Social Responsibility and humanitarian work. On behalf of all of

us at Cipla, including you, our shareholders, I extend our gratitude and best wishes for his good health and well-being, as also for his continuing assistance to our Company. I would like to thank Samina Hamied for her positive role in Cipla over 20 years till 2024 as Executive Vice-Chairman of the Company. Additionally, three of our Directors, Mr. S. Radhakrishnan, Mr. Ashok Sinha, and Mrs. Punita Lal have retired from the Company’s Board last year and we wish them all the very best in their future endeavours.
As we celebrate 90 years of Cipla, I would like to acknowledge the strategic leadership of our Company’s Senior Management Team under our CEO, Mr. Umang Vohra, as also that of the Cipla Board of Directors. Many thanks to all our partners and suppliers, the medical profession, and the pharmacies for their continued support. Above all, I thank you, our shareholders, for your trust and faith in our Company. To one and all, I extend my personal appreciation. Together, we will continue to expand our access to innovative, high-quality healthcare and at the same time, uphold Cipla’s values of compassionate care to society and humanity.
Thank you.
