Lupin enters into strategic collaboration with Eli Lilly

01 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Lupin and Eli Lilly India have entered into a strategic collaboration to promote and distribute Eli Lilly’s Huminsulin range of products, including Huminsulin RTM, Huminsulin NPHTM, Huminsulin 50/50, Huminsulin 30/70 and Humapen Ergo II. Lupin’s India formulations business will promote and distribute the range of products in India and Nepal, virtually doubling the number of sales representatives behind the diabetes care product. This collaboration will double the current customer base; about 45,000 doctors will now be called on as a result of the new partnership.  

For Lilly, a company whose history in insulin production dates to 1923, caring for diabetes patients in India is clearly a priority.  The country has an estimated 51 million people with diabetes currently and will have an estimated 85 million by 2030, or nearly one-fifth of all patients with diabetes globally. Lilly hopes to increase access to Huminsulin products through its relationship with Lupin India, bringing one of the most basic and proven therapies for diabetes treatment to more patients. 

Lupin’s India formulation business will deploy a sales force of 300 medical representatives to provide education and resources to physicians and patients. Lupin has a vibrant presence in the Indian pharmaceuticals market and has over the past several years made major strides in expanding its therapy portfolio. Lupin has a robust promotion and distribution setup along with a strong presence in various therapeutic areas, including the fast growing diabetes market. This strategic collaboration will achieve major synergy arising from the strength of the product portfolio of Lilly and the promotion and distribution capabilities of Lupin.
