The Biggest Indian Pharma Deal of the Decade

Mankind Pharma has announced it will buy biotech company BSV for a whopping Rs 13,630 crore. The deal brings together a master of mass market products and an intrinsic innovator in the high entry barrier spaces of the healthcare market. It’s an expensive buy and Mankind has gone for broke, raising equity and debt and stalling other planned purchases. Why is the deal so important and how will it transform Mankind Pharma’s position in the industry?

Host Anirban Chowdhury, ET’s pharma expert Vikas Dandekar, Sheetal Sapale from Pharmarack, and Mankind co-founder Rajeev Juneja weigh in.
