About Sai Pharma

To save people, we work
Established in 2006, Sai Pharma mainly imports raw materials (APIs) and finished products/formulations from different countries and distributes them domestically. These pharmaceuticals are majorly sold to the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) and other private entities. Our biggest suppliers are Mylan/Viatris, Lupin & Divi’s Labs. The company provides technical marketing support to the customers and acts as a bridge between them and the foreign suppliers, guaranteeing efficient distribution of the products.

  • Lifestyle diseases are increasing like allergies, depression, CNS, CVS, GI etc.
  • Advancement in Medical Treatments have increased the age of the people, hence they want tools to stay healthy and disease free
