Pranay Godha, Managing Director and Chief Executive, Ipca Laboratories, said the collaboration would help accelerate the development of “affordable biologics for people battling cancer and autoimmune disease worldwide.”

Surya Pai, Chief Executive and Co-Founder, BRL (a 12-year-old biotech company), said the partnership was designed to make patient care convenient, affordable and safe.

Akhil Shah, Director and Chief Executive, WeTranslate, said that world-class innovation deserved worldclass commercialisation pathways. “BRL has built a differentiated formulation technology platform, and Ipca brings the scale, expertise, and global reach required to unlock its full potential.”
