statutory compliances and putting something back into society. In sync
with this, 'giving back to society' has always been a key mandate for

Surya is committed to developing its business towards ecological,
social and economic sustainability. The Group rather sees Corporate
Social Responsibility as a new business strategy to reduce investment
risks and maximise profits by taking all the key stakeholders into
confidence. All activities and initiatives are planned specific to the
needs of the target stakeholders. The ultimate objective is to see that
each business decision takes into account its social impact and
accordingly plans an intervention to mitigate the impacts arising out
of that decision. Accordingly, we installed at Surya's manufacturing
facilities the most advanced anti-pollution devices to keep the
environment in and around the manufacturing facilities clean and green.
Actioning its CSR mandate and realising skills and education as
critical to catalyse the growth of society, Surya further ventured into
Education and set up an academic institution under the aegis of Surya
World Educational Research & Charitable Initiative. Ideally located

markets and other regulated markets leveraging over strength of Action.

Corporate Social Responsibility
In India as in the rest of the world, there is a growing realisation
that capital markets and corporations are, after all, created by
society and must therefore serve it, and not merely profit from it.
And those consumers and citizens' campaigns can make all the
difference. Surya, thus, sees corporate social responsibility as a new
business strategy to reduce investment risks and maximise profits by
taking all the key stakeholders into confidence. We also recognise the
fact that from an eco-social perspective, social and environmental
stability and sustainability are two important prerequisites for the
sustainability of the market in the long run. Accordingly, we at
Surya's manufacturing facilities installed the most advanced
anti-pollution devices to keep the environment in and around the
manufacturing facilities clean and green.
From the rights-based perspective on corporate responsibility, we
stress that consumers, employees, affected communities and shareholders
have a right to know about us and our business. We therefore stress
upon ourselves accountability, transparency and social and
environmental investment as the key aspects of corporate social
responsibility.
EXPANSION/GROWTH PLANS AND OUTLOOK
During the year, Surya Pharmaceutical Ltd (hereinafter referred as
"SPL") and its group companies identified particular segments and
invested in new product development in ethical formulations, generic
formulations, consumer personal care and consumer healthcare (OTC).
In order to provide new and hitherto unavailable alternatives to the
Indian consumer, the Company entered into exclusive, international
alliances to market and distribute the therapeutic footwear of Crocs,
where the footwear is not only recommended by doctors to diabetic
patients for preventive and curative purpose but to any profession that
demands long standing hours. The therapeutic footwear comes in various
designs for male and female wear and in various colours, and is
available across all major cities in India.
Similarly, the Company entered into a tie-up with US-based company,
Palmer's, for the cocoa butter-based beauty care products that will vie
with the premium brands and will provide "value for money" in the
markets upper segment. Another alliance with Thailand-based Royal
Industries for baby feeding products and accessories and range of
products is based on superior design and material, and is well-accepted
by the market. Our fourth tie-up was struck with the Belgium-based QNT,
one of the leading global companies in sports nutrition and dietary
supplements. This market is emerging stronger as people everywhere have
started taking control of their exercise regimen and food habits.
The three existing formulations divisions of the Company, namely Alexus
(for ethical formulations), Aegis (for generic formulations) and Altair
(for medical devices and diagnostics) became available pan-India,
launched new products and consolidated and grew market share during the
year. The Company also launched the gynaecology-focused division,
Adonia with 15 major products. Further, new therapeutic- specific
divisions are due to be launched this year. We expect to emerge among
the leading formulations players in India in next 3-5 years.
During the year under review, your Company achieved new milestones for
cost improvement and technology leadership. The state-of-the-art
cGMP-compliant, Jammu plant commissioned two units in 2009-10,
underwent further validation trials and commercial production started
in two new units during 2010-11. The Jammu plant can manufacture
sterile and non- sterile cephalosporin APIs and formulations for the
regulated markets. Among other developments, your Company's Banur
plant, the largest plant location among the six locations, underwent
successful audits with Korean FDA as well as large Indian buyers. The
cephalosporin formulations plant in Baddi also successfully and
deservedly underwent the CDSCO inspection. Many technological
improvements were implemented in the plants to secure efficiency and
compliances. Your Company will continue to invest in modern technology
in the plants.
Within pharmaceuticals, the regulatory filings in terms of marketing
dossiers and drug master files gained momentum, and during the year,
the Company obtained drug master files for Cefaclor and CPDP. New
regulatory filings for Europe and the US are in the pipeline. In
menthol and mint derivatives, the Company continues to enjoy the
confidence of some of the world's largest buyers in consumer goods and
flavours and fragrances. The R&D division continued to focus on process
improvement, product development and added new dimensions in the form
of R&D formulations during the year. Phytochemicals and CRAMS plan to
exploit their strategic advantages in the future.
Talent acquisition and retention has become one of the top priorities,
given that new businesses have been started with experienced
professionals, and your Company strengthened the middle management
ranks during the year. We aspire to become the first choice employer
for all professions in the Indian economy. Your Company also moved its
registered office from Himachal Pradesh to New Delhi in order to
acquire and retain professionals from more diverse backgrounds.

customers across 90 countries in the last nineteen years, the Company

M&A opportunity and we acquired ActivOn, the leading topical analgesic
brand in the US and four other brands, HeadOn, FirstOn, RenewIn and
