Glenmark becomes the first company to launch Remogliflozin + Vildagliptin fixed dose combination, at an affordable price for adults with Type2 diabetes in India

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited (Glenmark), a research-led global pharmaceutical company has launched a fixed dose combination (FDC) of its novel, patent protected and globally researched Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter Inhibitor(SGLT2i) – Remogliflozin Etabonate and another widely used DPP4 inhibitor (Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 inhibitor)– Vildagliptin, in India. The fixed drug combination is indicated for the management of Type 2 diabetes. The combination will contain Remogliflozin (100 mg) + Vildagliptin (50 mg) in a fixed dose and must be taken twice daily to improve glycemic control in patients. Glenmark has launched the same under two brand names Remo V and Remozen V.

Glenmark is the first company in the world to launch Remogliflozin + Vildagliptin fixed dose combination and India is the first country to get access to this FDC drug. Glenmark received approval from the DCGI (the drug approval authority in India) for manufacturing and marketing Remogliflozin + Vildagliptin combination in late November 2020.

Globally, SGLT2 inhibitors & DPP4 inhibitors are emerging as the preferred treatment option for the management of Type 2 diabetes. Glenmark has been at the forefront in providing access to the latest treatmentsat a low cost for patients with diabetes in India.

In chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, patients are required to consume multiple anti-diabetic drugs for prolonged periods of time. Moreover, in India, patients have to bear the drug cost on their own and so the price of the drug becomes a major factor that impacts treatment adherence. While the average daily cost of therapy of existing brands in the same drug category is Rs. 78, Glenmark’s Remogliflozin-Vildagiptin combination has been launched at a breakthrough price of Rs. 14 per tablet, to be taken twice daily; which amounts to Rs. 28 as the per day cost of therapy. This cost is 65% lower than the other available SGLT2 & DPP4 combination drugs in the market.

Glenmark’s Remogliflozin + Vildagliptin combination will significantly improve access and bring a world class and well researched combination product at an affordable price to patients in India. This combination has been approved by the DCGI, the drug regulator in India for adults aged 18 years and older with Type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control when metformin and one of the mono-components of fixed dose combination do not provide adequate glycemic control, or when already beingtreated with separate doses of Remogliflozin & Vildagliptin.

“Glenmark has been a pioneer in providing access to the latest treatment options to diabetes patients in India. We are glad to introduce this innovative fixed dose combination, which is cutting-edge, extensively researched and at an affordable costfor patients in the country. Diabetes is a key area of focus for Glenmark and the launch of this product will enable us to improve access to diabetes treatment by providing an effective, high quality, world-class and affordable treatment option to patients in India,”said Mr. Alok Malik, Group Vice President & Business Head, India Formulations.

In 2015, Glenmark revolutionized the diabetes market by launching its DPP4 inhibitor – Teneligliptin at a price that was approximately 55% lower than the other DPP4 inhibitors available in India at that time. Continuing the legacy, Glenmark launched its globally researched, innovator molecule Remogliflozin in 2019, at a price around 55% lesser than other SGLT2 inhibitors available in the Indian market at that time.  According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF),the prevalence of diabetes in India is 8.9% with around 77 million adults living with diabetes as of 2019.

Our customer centric dedication is the major source of motivation, Says Experts at ASSOCHAM’s ‘Wisdom Series’

New Delhi: The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), one of the apex trade associations of India in association with ITC Sunfeast concluded the sixth edition of its Wisdom Series lecture titled ‘Interaction on Mumbai’s Model of Service Excellence’ on the theme of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat – Vocal for Local – Moving towards Self-Reliant India’. The event saw an expert panel consisting of representative from Mumbai Dabbawalas Shri Ramdas Karvande, President, Mumbai Dabbawala, Shri Ulhas Muke, President, Mumbai Dabbawala and Shri Ritesh Andre, Spokesperson, Mumbai Dabbawala and Mr Anil Rajput, Chairman, ASSOCHAM FMCG Brand Promotion and Protection Council holding an insightful interaction on one of the best case studies on supply chain management.
Presenting their Model of zero-defect delivery, Mr. Ritesh Andre said, “The Mumbai dabbawalas constitute a lunchbox delivery and return system that delivers hot lunches from homes and restaurants to people at work in India, especially in Mumbai. The lunchboxes are picked up in the late morning, delivered predominantly using bicycles and railway trains, and returned empty in the afternoon. Mumbai Dabbawalas is made up of three word i.e. Mumbai (because we operate only in Mumbai) Dabba (Which means Tiffin Box) and walas (Person carrying the Tiffin Box)”.
Talking about the coding system that they are using, he said that “Lunch boxes are marked in several ways i.e. Abbreviations for collection points, Colour code for starting station, Number for destination station and Markings for handling dabbawala at destination, building and floor. A colour-coding system identifies the destination and recipient. They have a coding system and proper distribution flow to maintain their impeccable service. Multiple colours and alpha numerics are used to generate the codes for each lunchbox and takes 3-4 months to understand. The name of dabbawala receiving the lunch box the pickup and drop station code, the code for dabbawala delivering the lunch box the building code as well as the floor code is included in the whole code. There are different codes for the mumbai east and west areas meaning different codes for the similar station example VP and VLP are both station codes for Vile Parle station in mumbai. As per Columbia University, they are the founders of the hub and spoke system.
Various CSR activities are also being done by Mumbai Dabbawalas including “roti bank” and “share my dabba” that are engaged in feeding not only their customers but the hungry and the poor kids on street as well.
Mr Anil Rajput, Chairman, ASSOCHAM FMCG Brand Promotion and Protection Council while moderating the discussion presented insightful questions before the panellists to understand the various challenges they faced in day to day operations. “Mumbai dabbawala operation is widely recognized as an outstanding example of excellence in supply chain management. Supply Chain is an important part of every organization, to maximize customer value and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. Intelligent coding system and use of bicycle, hand pulled cart as well as local train is what remarks the successful journey of an efficient time management to fall in line with six sigma quality service standards by the Mumbai Dabbawalas. The dabbawalas of Mumbai have proven that high degree of commitment and dedication can build a robust seamless logistics chain. Challenges like heavy monsoon, flood, terrorist attacks, did not deter their determination to service their end users.

TAYALS’ TAKE INSOLVENCY ACT FOR A RIDE

The Tayal ‘s, the erstwhile promoters of The Bank of Rajasthan Limited are also the Promoters of several Listed and unlisted Textile Companies of the country. They have garnered immense wealth by duping the Banks and diverting public money for accumulating wealth for themselves. Resultantly, the topmost Regulators of the country be it RBI as the banking sector regulator of the country or SEBI as the capital market regulator of the country have held them accountable for flouting the regulatory framework of the country. They have always denied any non – compliance from their end and even approached the Appellate Authority(ies) but the entire Regulatory framework of the country is aware of their misdeeds and has clearly upheld their non-compliant attitude towards the law of the land and their non-co-operation towards the Regulatory Authority(ies). Even when they approached the Securities Appellate Tribunal, pleading their innocence in the violation of the SEBI guidelines, the Appellate Tribunal took a stern view against their non-compliant attitude and clearly established vide its Order dated 11th February, 2014 how the Tayal Group of Companies had acted in concert and were in gross violation of the SEBI Guidelines both in letter and spirit. Even the Enforcement Directorate and the Serious Fraud Investigation Office are trying to dig into the fraudulent transactions of the Tayal Group of Companies.

Presently, there are Eight Companies of the Tayal group which are in Insolvency Process viz. JayBharat Textiles And Real Estate Ltd, KSL & Industries Ltd, Actif Corporation Limited Global Softech Ltd, K-Lifestyle & Industries Limited, Krishna Knitwear Technology Ltd, Asahi Industries Limited and in Eskay K’N’IT (India) Ltd. In these peculiar cases, the applications of the Secured Financial Creditor (the Banks) to the Adjudicating Authority have been opposed for more than one year by the Corporate Debtor but the applications of the Unsecured Financial Creditors which appears to be filed at the behest of the  Corporate Debtor itself have been admitted unopposed resulting in the appointment of Interim/Resolution Professionals who are acting in connivance with the Promoters of the Corporate Debtor . The petitions of Unsecured Financial Creditors were admitted in NCLT on the ground that the Corporate Debtors have admitted the financial debts on affidavit. Thereby, it seems that the Applicants (Unsecured Creditors) and the Corporate Debtors are Related Companies. As a result of such nexus and the admission of such Applications, the Committee of Creditors constituted in the Insolvency Process of these Companies, the Secured Financial Creditors have been put into minority and the entire Insolvency Process is controlled by the Unsecured Creditors and the Resolution Professionals nominated by them. These Unsecured Creditors are charging a heavy rate of Interest to the Corporate Debtors and the  Directors of these Unsecured Creditors are the employees of the Tayal Group of Companies. It has also been observed that the Unsecured Financial Creditors, which have Paid- Up Share Capital of merely Rs. One Lakh but have given Unsecured Loans to the tune of Rs. 300 Crores. Moreover, if any Resolution Plan is submitted in any of these Companies, the Secured Financial Creditors will have to take a heavy hair cut not only on the basis of reduced share in the Committee of Creditors but definitely, preference in repayment would be given to these Unsecured Financial Creditors. There is also uniformity of Auditors in all the Unsecured Financial creditors and the Corporate Debtor.

In the Companies in which the Tayal’s are facing problems and are not able to control upon the Committee of Creditors and/or the Resolution Professional , they are approaching the Appellate Authority(ies) to ensure that they have entire control over the Insolvency Process of the said Companies .Hence, it can be clearly seen that in all the Companies. wherein they are able to dictate their terms on the Resolution Professional and the Committee of Creditors , they are not approaching the Appellate Authorities and wherein they are not able to do so , they are approaching the Upper Court(s) and leaving no stone unturned to set aside the Insolvency admission Order by presenting distorted facts and information forth the Court.
