These words sum up the efforts of the Torrent
group, which integrates people, processes and
potential towards the betterment of mankind.
It all began with the toil of one enterprising
individual, Shri. U N Mehta, when he ventured
on his own to create history in the Indian pharmaceutical
industry by implementing successfully the concept
of niche marketing. His journey, characterised
by ups and downs, reached a milestone in 1970,
with the launch of Trinicalm Plus, an effective
tranquilizer in the niche segment, central nervous
system (CNS).
The foundations for Torrent were laid when 'Trinity
Laboratories' began operations under the able
guidance of Shri Mehta whose efforts are worthy
of emulation.
'Trinity' was renamed 'Torrent' and with this
not only did the company get a new name, it also
focused on establishing its own manufacturing
facilities in the early 80s. Torrent augmented
its efforts with the expansion of its manufacturing
capacity, emphasis on marketing and creating business
opportunities through focus on exports. Torrent
Pharmaceuticals Limited recorded a quantum leap
in the year 1994. It has also been rated India's
ninth best company among capital intensive companies
in terms of ROCE in a study by ETIG-BCG in 2001.
In recognition of the consistent performance
Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited has been receiving
accolades from various quarters, such as the President's
award for highest pharmaceuticals exports of Rs.
1570 million in 1991-92. The Company that had
a humble beginning has now grown to become one
of the leading players in pharmaceuticals.
It has ambitious plans for the years ahead. The
emphasis is on Post-2005 opportunities with greater
focus on the international market, in particular
the lucrative North American market.
