History
editConcord Biotech was founded in 2000 by Sudhir Vaid, a former director at Ranbaxy Laboratories.[4] It was the first company in India and the second in the world to develop an anti-immuno suppressant tacrolimus.[7]
In 2004, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala acquired around 14% stake in the company. In 2005, Hyderabad-based Matrix Laboratories acquired 55% stake in the company, by buying partial shareholding of Vaid and Jhunjhunwala.[8] After Matrix Laboratories was acquired by Mylan, the latter sold back its stake in Concord Biotech to Vaid and Jhunjhunwala in 2009.[9][4]
Quadria Capital acquired a 20% stake in Concord Biotech in 2016.[10][11] Jhunjhunwala's Rare Enterprises holds 24% stake in the company.[12][13] Quadria Capital sold its entire stake in Concord Biotech's 2023 initial public offering.[3]
