Dilip Shanghvi News
Dilip Shanghvi Networth: Dilip Shanghvi, the visionary founder of Sun Pharmaceuticals, has extensive industrial experience in the pharmaceutical industry. Starting the company with just two employees focused on marketing and distributing medicines under his leadership, Shanghvi transformed Sun Pharmaceuticals into India’s most valuable listed pharma enterprise.
Today, the company generates nearly two-thirds of its reported $5.3 billion annual revenue from international markets. In 2023, Sun Pharma marked a significant milestone by completing a $576 million acquisition of the US-based Concert Pharmaceuticals, further solidifying its global footprint. Shanghvi’s business empire now generates an impressive $5.4 billion (approximately Rs 44,971 crore) in annual revenue reportedly.
When he started his pharma company in 1983 with 5 products and 5 people, hardly anyone could guess the success he will achieve. In 1987 when the company began selling on a national scale, it was ranked 108th. Now it ranks 6th, which is nothing short of mind-blowing.
