India—July 10, 2023: Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited (Dr. Reddy’s), is an Indian multinational pharmaceutical company based in Hyderabad. It was established in 1984 and it’s mission is to offer access to affordable and innovative medicines. It offers a portfolio of products and services including APIs, generics, branded generics, biosimilars and OTC.

The pharmaceutical major was looking to accelerate the development of new healthcare applications and grow its digital platform. It aims to serve more than 1.5 billion global patients by 2030, and enable healthcare providers to better track the progress of patients.

Dr. Reddy’s aims to reduce application development time by 30%, improve internal operations, accelerate improvements in generic drug manufacturing processes, and drive new areas of innovation. It wanted to accelerate the delivery of high-quality digital products, transform customer service, and deliver on its sustainability goals by making its supply chains greener.
