0 | Chairman's Speech (Bliss GVS Pharma) | Year : Mar '12 |
Dear Shareholders, Welcome to Bliss GVS Pharma Limited. Your company was formed through the merger of two business groups, the GVS Labs family that had a growing exports business and Bliss Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals India Limited which had a high potential domestic franchise. What connected the dots was a perfect symbiotic relationship in what our products, markets and the opportunities it represented. And that continues to remain our essence. On one hand, at a cursory look we might appear as just another pharmaceutical company with domestic and exports presence. And on the other, we are a uniquely positioned organisation. Your company is different. What makes us different is the Uniqueness. In products. In opportunities. And in the way we continue to scale up because of that. In 2011-12, your company continues on its growth trajectory. Revenues grew by 28% to Rs.282.87 cr and profit before tax grew by 50% to Rs.79.71 cr. We are segment leaders in the branded generics anti-malaria) market in Africa. Rather than focusing on traditionally popular institutional business, we chose to build our own brand in the generics space and have our own marketing in Africa. This ensured growth, longevity and consistency, besides higher margins, better cash flows and more than anything, creation of brand equity and value for your company We are also leaders in suppositories and pessaries. It''s a different dosage form with a niche market. The technological edge in this can be estimated from the fact that there are limited number of other manufacturers of this dosage form across the globe. This means that we can grow the market and keep growing with it too. This also means that margins are relatively higher and gives us enough cash flows to fuel our further growth. Besides, there are already some large pharmaceutical companies who want us to do contract manufacturing for them, thereby, opening another business segment and revenue generation stream for your company. But we are not resting. In fact, we are getting prepared to grow even faster and better. Having reached a certain scale, we want to take the company into the next zone of growth. This will entail new products, new markets and new approach. New products Our R&D is working on new products with suppositories and pessaries. We will expand our share in anti-fungal market, which is as big as anti-malarial market, if not more. With our anti-malarial range. We will enter the Institutional tender market. New markets We are still in the process of covering entire Africa. We will take suppositories and pessaries to European markets where there is a growing need and acceptance. India will also see a fresh focus and thrust. New approach We are also working on a collaborative approach to grow. One of our newest ventures namely Bliss Indasi Life Science Pvt Ltd. for powder filling adds new products, markets and opportunities to the existing one. We are also investing in R&D lab to support new product development. As I look ahead I feel confident. The efforts put in by our entire team of 200 people have begun to pay dividends. We see a long period of strong and consistent growth for your company. I take this opportunity to thank every stakeholder - customers, government, employees, vendors, bankers, Board members and investors - for having trusted us along the way. I assure you, every member of Team Bliss GVS will continue to give their 100% and deliver superior performance. Look forward to meeting you at the AGM. Sincerely, S. N. Kamath Managing Director |
