Message from Leadership

Eisai Pharmaceuticals India Pvt. Ltd. was established in India 20 years ago as a subsidiary of Eisai Co., Ltd., Japan, and is a research and development-oriented pharmaceutical company.

Our corporate philosophy is to give first thought to patients and the people in the daily living domain, contribute to enhancing the benefits they receive, and fulfilling the diverse healthcare needs of people around the world. In every decision we make, we place patients and people in the daily living domain at the center of our thinking. Human Health Care (hhc) serves as the starting point for all our actions and decisions.

This commitment is also reflected in our Articles of Incorporation, which state: "The Company's mission is to increase the satisfaction of patients and the people in the daily living domain, and to empower them to realize their fullest lives through an hhc ecosystem developed in collaboration with other industries. As a result of fulfilling this mission, sales and profits are generated, and we believe that maintaining the proper order of mission first and results second is of fundamental importance."

Guided by the hhc philosophy and committed to maintaining the proper order of mission and results, we strive to address healthcare challenges and reduce healthcare disparities across India. One of the unique strengths of Eisai Pharmaceuticals India, seldom seen among global pharmaceutical companies, is our fully integrated presence in India. We possess comprehensive capabilities across the pharmaceutical value chain, including Drug Substance production, Research & Development, Drug Production, and Commercial Operations.

As one example of this commitment, in March 2026 we commenced the distribution in India of Lemborexant, an innovative treatment for insomnia discovered by Eisai and manufactured at our own facility in Vizag. We believe this milestone represents a key step toward improving access to innovative medicines and benefiting a greater number of patients across India. Looking ahead, we will continue to uphold the hhc philosophy by putting patients and people in the daily living domain first. We remain committed to addressing healthcare challenges and reducing healthcare disparities in Indian society. Through innovative medicines and solutions, we aspire to be a company that helps people realize their fullest lives and supports them in living life to the fullest.
