The reincarnation

Subject, the recreated world-class

pharma company, is growing at a blistering pace

Business India, 17 June 2007  

 

When the foundation stone of a new pharma factory was laid in April 2003 in a small village Chacharwadi, Vasna, near Ahmedabad, it was the beginning of a new life for founder-promoter Sushil Handa (54). His earlier empire comprising Core Group of companies had submerged under a sea of debt. The assets, taken over by the Asset Reconstruction Company of India Limited (ARCIL), were in the process of finding a buyer. For Handa, a first generation entrepreneur, this was the second innings.

 

Subject, the new company, had begun its life as a trading company in 1999, importing medicines and also getting some manufactured by Indian companies. The capital for the new enterprise came from internal accruals from the trading ventures, a loan of $7 million provided by the Exim Bank and loans from family members and friends. This was augmented by small contributions from a loyal team of 20 people, who had stood by him through thick and thin.

 

Even as the ceremonies were under way, a vehicle carrying a small load of around 400 assorted bricks arrived on the site, bearing vermillion marks indicating that sacred rites were performed on them. The distributors and stockists were saying: 'They are with you in the new endeavour'. "With so many blessings of relatives, friends and distributors coming their way, I knew they were bound to succeed the second time around," says Handa, recounting this experience.


Eight years since inception, Subject has today become a Rs 4000.000   millions company, with a staff strength of 3,100 people, carving out a niche in sterile injectibiles, lifesaving medicines and hospital products. At an expected 40 per cent year-on-year growth, the company is targeting a turnover of Rs 7000.000 millions for 2007 and Rs l0000.000 millions in a couple of years, with exports contributing to 50 per cent of the turnover.

 

Claris's four manufacturing facilities on the outskirts of Ahmedabad have built a unique mix of products and delivery systems. Two events early this year have proved to be turning points in the course of Sushil Handa's own career.

 

• In March, the Ahmedabad high court accorded its seal of approval to the scheme put forth by Claris and ARCIL, by which the Nirma Group of Ahmedabad would take over the entire IV manufacturing assets (the largest IV fluid manufacturing plant at a single location, along with the medical devices and the disposables manufacturing plant) spread over 600 acres of land. In turn, it agreed to take over the liabilities, scaled down by ACRTL.

 

• In April, the United States Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) gave its acceptance to the sterile injectible manufacturing facility.
