- BUSINESS OUTLOOK:-
Dr. Datsons Labs Ltd, we believe that nothing toughens like the tough
times. 2013-14 was a tough year as input cost continued to rise and key
segments faced competitive pressures.
The rupee devaluation on account of fiscal challenges in the country
resulted in further pushing up the costs. Delay in financial
commitments led to deferred timelines and low capacity build-up.
We have undertaken steps to raise equity through sale of Stake so that
the company gets in required funding for its Working Capital & Capex
Program. We are looking for long term investors who can take forward
the legacy of the company
We chose not to stop, but to carry on; not be withered but to persist.
Rough seas make better sailors.
At Dr. Datsons we continued to wade through multiple challenges
diligently, patiently and persistently. Our investments made over the
years into an integrated business model also stemmed the decline.
In wake of growing competition and increased inflation, cost control
emerged as the biggest challenge during 2013- 14. We focused on
critically analyzing each process and product to clearly identify
avoidable elements in the cost structures. This enabled us to improve
efficiency, process time and capacity utilization without any
compromise on the end product/process quality. We continued to add new
clients across all our divisions. We utilized the blend of our
competitive cost structures with our global standards in R&D and
synthetic chemistry skills to partner large pharma companies for
long-term product development. Presently, we have forged four long-term
partnerships for our products and derive 37 per cent of our total
revenues from these partnerships.
- RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT:-
A large investment in R&D could dent the bottom line especially when it
does not create fresh revenues.
Risk mitigation
The Company created a strong R&D team dedicated to creating new
products. The Company filed for more than 20 patents across different
countries. Through R&D, the Company pioneered various oral lozenges in
India. The Company''s R&D centre has been recognised by DSIR.

practices in line with international benchmarks; each team member is

Business Outlook
Under challenging conditions the Company has stood up well. We
recognized that we need to step up to the plate, build and cement our
relationships with customers and were reassured that our customers were
supportive of our efforts to enhance our deliverables. We are
particularly satisfied when our team responded as a unit to proactively
become a learning organization, improve the quality management systems
and processes. Aanjaneya has set itself a goal to become a zero-defect
company in the foreseeable future. This to our mind was the most
reassuring aspect of our journey into maturing as a leading player in
the industry. . Many changes stemmed from looking inward at our
execution capabilities and examining our service deliveries, and in
particular the due date performance. Supply chain initiatives reduced
the lead time for delivery from receipt of orders, which in turn
lowered the inventory and ultimately made significant improvement in
customer relationships. We were on a learning mode and examined
processes, costs, yields and productivity. We invested in underlining
quality in whatever we do.
Today, Aanjaneya is respected by its customers for our large
infrastructure for both APIs and formulations. They also recognise our
ability to develop new products and regulatory expertise. They see our
potential and appreciate our confidence to compete with the best in the
business. They see a large base of competencies and believe that we are
capable of becoming a partner of choice, a preferred supplier and a
capable collaborator who works for mutual benefit.
Dollar-rupee parity is creating an opposite impact on our financials. A
stronger dollar adds to our income and cash. This conundrum needs to
be addressed. We shall aggressively drive up the revenues, pare costs,
enhance productivity, improve the business mix, lower the gearing and
take several other actions to improve the profit after tax. We shall
strive to make Aanjaneya the Company of choice for all our
stakeholders.

Research & Development
R&D is dedicated to achieve two primary objectives; foster quality
product development which meets market demand, and contribute to the
bottom line of the Company. The focus areas are:
- Quality by design: In line with regulatory expectations, R&D teams
have embraced a quality-by-design approach in product and process
development;
- Cost effectiveness: In line with business expectations, R&D
emphasises cost consciousness in the increasingly competitive generic
market
The R&D teams are integrated into the operations of the business units,
both in marketing and manufacturing interface, ensuring product
development oriented to market requirements and Customer needs. The
time-to- market, the short time it takes between product developments,
submission for regulatory approval and post-approval product launch, is
a major competitive advantage for Aanjaneya. In a bid to sharpen the
focus and lead the business by introducing new processes and products,
the R&D function has been consolidated with establishment of a new
state-of-the-art Centre for Chemical Research dedicated to API research
with additional resources aimed at strengthening the product basket and
leading the CRAMS initiative, all under one roof at Mahad.
The existing R&D Centre supplemented with fresh talent is already
ramping up oral and lozenges research for formulation products. We
therefore have two Centers of Excellence leading the way forward.
Research teams are dedicated to identifying opportunities for the oral
solids and the Lozenges portfolios. The Ointments & Gels portfolio team
has been created for focus on hormonal formulations. Many new products
in these categories have been developed and filed or are ready for
filing.
The Company now has products ready to be filed in the Lozenges segment.
The core strength of the Company is the ability to convert knowledge
into complex chemistry and Molecules and be date driven in building a
product portfolio. The team's strength can be better appreciated by the
successes in the selection process for products with potential growth
in the market, search for synthetic routes which facilitate create non
-infringing processes and patents, design processes and purification
methods that meet ICH guidelines, ensure regulatory compliance while
launching high value products with entry barriers.
The existing approved product portfolio is spread across several dosage
forms including tablets, Hormonal gels, Hard Boiled Lozenges, Codeine
based Syrups, Ointments Dental creams.
In addition, more than 75 novel formulations in lozenges gels ointments
& tablets are under various stages of active development.
During 2011-12, the Company filed more than 60 dossiers in various
emerging markets like Haiti, Dominican Republic, Ivory Coast, Kenya,
Tanzania, South Africa, Costa Rica, Belize, Peru, Bolivia, Cambodia,
Vietnam, Philippines amongst others.
Our R&D team has a long-term perspective and shall continue to sharpen
our competitive thrust by working on technologies required to develop
new products and processes and ensure that Aanjaneya stays on course to
becoming one of the admired regulatory-compliant pharmaceutical
companies.
Environment & Safety Outlook
At Aanjaneya, operating profitably is as important as safeguarding the
ecological basis of life and achieving a balance. The cornerstone of
sustainable business development in the long-term includes the
competitive creation of value in manufacturing as well as preservation
of natural resources in a responsible and human-friendly work
environment. The Company has pursued forward- looking environmental
policies involving foresighted and prudent use of available natural
resources in its operations.
The product portfolio is comprised of products manufactured from safe
raw materials with high utilization and low wastage. There is
considerable effort made to recycle materials and save water, energy
and fuels.
To create a more secure work environment for our employees, a few
concrete steps were initiated to proactively identify process safety
issues and resolve them, including the following:
- Process risk analysis in API units;
- Re-HAZOP of all processes in API units;
- Activity-based risk assessment for non-process activities
(warehouse, engineering, QC) in both API and formulation units;
- Devise specific handling procedures for hazardous chemicals with
training on those procedures;
- Process safety testing: determination of thermal conductivity of
all powders and flammability of powders which are not conductive;
- Review of layouts and P&ID for new projects before finalization.
Presently, the following steps have been initiated to improve our
review and auditing process:
- Examination of processes involving hazardous raw materials and
critical chemistry by senior management;
- Inter plant safety audits - where safety personnel from one unit
audits another unit
- Monthly review of EHS along with the operations team;
- Appointment of a world-class consultant to evaluate the safety
management system and give directions to bring about a cultural and
attitude change towards safety;
- Creation of departmental safety committees to ensure participation
of employees in lower cadre in safety communication and propagation;
- HS alert system, in which significant EHS incidents and learning
from those are shared across all units of Aanjaneya.
Improving our environmental performance and raising awareness of our
commitment is a key element of our value chain. We believe higher
standards in providing safety, ensuring protection, reducing wastage;
minimizing consumption of natural resources and caring for the future
are all as much good economics as they are in adding to our sustainable
growth. Better relations with the customers and society and earning
their trust should ultimately reflect in the balance.
