Dear Jahnavi, AstraZeneca is one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies.
Even I was surprised when I had checked the list, but as the list is prepared using single source there may be chances of some discrepancies. The list I have presented is India's top ten companies.
AstraZeneca is a good company and has good scope for R&D; also it has its international presence. What is exactly that you wanted to know? If you want to know company details you can visit their website or contact the company people.

Dear Lakshya,
I appreciate your efforts in bringing this news of top ten pharma companies in India. One thing i would like to emphasise regarding these ratings and i hope you would take my words in right spirit.
The list of top companies varies from year to year and it is basically done on the basis of total sales revenue generated throughout the year. One company may have rough patch during the year and may slip in rankings in one year and may climb in rankings the next. In addition the top ten at the end of the year are calculated according to their cumulative average sales per month during the respective year.
In India, a professional body named ORG-MARG - AC Neilson carries out the study through select retail outlets and the results are extrapolated. They publish ORG reports everymonth based on the sales of each company, their product sales, sales according to therapeutic segment, subsegments and top products, top brands, top therapeutic segments and most of the big companies subscribe to these ORG reports. Even the Indian government at times refer to ORG reports to frame any policy regarding pharmaceutical products.
Further there are many ways to categorize a company in top league for eg. a company can be in top ten on the basis of market share, growth, total sales revenue, expenditure on R&D and so on.
Companies like Ranbaxy and Wockhardt have January to December as Financial year whereas other companies follow regular finanical year i.e. from April to March and it is required that these differences are taken into account when you list top 10 companies.

Dear Sir, It was really nice to see you back. I am happy that you have told here, the actual procedure & the means by which the top companies are ranked. In fact I should accept that I was not aware of this procedure, but now by the details given by you I know about it a bit. This blog was meant just to give a simple source for all, but now onwards I'll try n get the actual process & right details before I post such topics.

Dear Lakshya,
It is natural that a person cannot know about all the things. I have highlighted a few points that i know so that readers would be well oriented to what they study. Your blog coupled with the procedure described would give them the best idea of how companies are ranked.
This is called teamwork. :) What you say?

Yes sir, I fully agree with you... A person cant know about all the details available...One cant be 'omniinformatic'... However, if he gives the best to find all the details regarding that context, then he must definitely deserve the appreciation; just as lucky has done in informing us... He has tried his level best to inform us and also because the information is in great depth reflecting his hard work definitely makes him deserve the appraisal...

Dear Shubhranshu,
I did not mean that lakhsya has not put in hard work. I do not want to demean him nor take away credit for his hard work and providing the in depth knowledge about top 10 pharma companies.
He is a hard worker and it is seen from his blogs and the innovation that he brings to blogging.
I just reflected what i felt.

Dear Shubhranshu,
You need not be sorry. Sorry for what? This is a platform where we share our ideas and everyone is contributing in his or her humble way.
And i never felt bad about what you have said. So no need to think that i have taken your point otherwise. :)
