Sun Pharma recently stepped into the spotlight with a national corporate branding campaign that underscores its quiet yet significant impact across the globe. Once a modest venture in the 1980s, Sun has grown into India's No. 1 pharmaceutical company, as per the AIoCD AWACS MAT March 2024 report*. Today, the company operates in over 100 countries, backed by a network of more than 40 manufacturing facilities and six research & development centres worldwide. At the core of the campaign lies an interesting fact: every minute, 1,000 prescriptions for Sun Pharma's medicines are written around the world. It's a simple data point, but it tells a powerful story of trust, care, and human connection. 'The campaign reflects who we are and the meaningful impact we make, touching 1,000 lives every single minute across the globe,' said Kirti Ganorkar, CEO of India Business, Sun Pharma. 'For over 40 years, people in India have trusted us. Being the No. 1 pharma company in India is a responsibility to care and to serve better. We are proud to play a key role in improving people's health and wellbeing.' Developed by Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai, the campaign spotlights Sun Pharma's contribution to the lives of patients, caregivers, doctors, pharmacists and communities. The film highlights that healthcare is not just about science—it's about people. Watch the campaign film here: 1000 Lives Touched Per Minute | Sun Pharma – India's No.1 Pharma Company (Director's Cut) The campaign's 360-degree rollout ensures broad visibility.

The campaign was also featured during high-profile IPL matches, including the final, on JioCinema, tapping into one of the most-watched events in India. SunPharma has also leveraged outdoor media for a corporate branding campaign to amplify its message, with prominent placements across six metro cities, including Mumbai and Delhi airports and metro trains. To deepen local engagement, the campaign has been released in nine Indian languages. As the campaign continues across platforms, its message remains both universal and deeply personal: healthcare is about moments of hope, trust, and healing—happening quietly, every minute, around us. In an industry often defined by clinical language, Sun Pharma's campaign is a powerful reminder that behind every prescription lies a story—and that meaningful healthcare starts with a human connection.

Youth Congress workers storm Sree Chithra Institute over surgery delays amid equipment shortage
Thiruvananthapuram: Youth Congress activists of Kerala on Monday stormed the prestigious Sree Chithra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) in the state capital, protesting the postponement of critical surgeries due to a severe shortage of surgical equipment. SCTIMST, a centrally-run institute known for its excellence in cardiology and neurology, is a lifeline for thousands -- particularly the poor and underprivileged -- seeking advanced medical treatment. However, the hospital has recently been grappling with disrupted medical services after contracts with suppliers of key surgical instruments lapsed and were not renewed. The issue arises from a directive mandating that all purchases be made exclusively through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal, which primarily features Indian-made products. According to hospital sources and protesters, many essential surgical items -- especially those sourced internationally -- are not available on the portal. Earlier, the institute was allowed to float tenders and negotiate directly with suppliers, a process now discontinued. Angered by the delay in surgeries, a group of Youth Congress workers managed to bypass the hospital's tight security and reach the office of the Director. Shouting slogans against the BJP-led Central government, they accused it of jeopardising the lives of poor patients. Tensions escalated as protesters clashed verbally with police personnel inside the hospital premises. 'The poor depend on this hospital for life-saving treatments. The Centre's rigid policies are disrupting care and delaying surgeries. This is unacceptable,' said one of the protesters. Later in the day, newly appointed Union Minister of State for Tourism, Suresh Gopi, who hails from Thiruvananthapuram, visited SCTIMST for discussions with the hospital administration to assess the situation. 'I came here in my role as liaison minister. We had a constructive discussion with officials, and the matter is being taken seriously,' Gopi told reporters. 'We will now approach the Union Finance Minister and other concerned authorities to expedite a resolution. I am confident the issue will be resolved soon,' he added.
