Mumbai: Singapore-based drugmaker Invida Holdings said on Wednesday, it has acquired personal care and formulations brands made by New Delhi-based unlisted firm Shalaks Pharmaceuticals for an undisclosed sum.
The acquired brands had annual sales of about ₹ 40 crore, the source said.
The products are expected to register high growth rates in the coming years, driven by rising disposable incomes, improved access and increased public health awareness, Invida said in a statement.
“This is an important strategic move for Invida, expanding our presence in the rapidly growing Indian pharmaceutical market," John Graham, chief executive, Invida, said.
“The acquisition of Shalaks’ products positions Invida among the top dermatology companies in India - with the significant potential to increase this position in the coming years," he said.
