Pfizer in India

Pfizer in India is just as old as India is as a republic, having begun its operations in the country in 1950. Over the years, we have introduced many of Pfizer’s global breakthrough and innovative treatments in several major therapeutic areas, while also developing one of the country’s leading local brands portfolios to benefit millions of patients and consumers.

Pfizer operates in India through three legal entities: Pfizer Limited (listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange); Pfizer Products India Private Ltd (a 100% Pfizer Inc. subsidiary); and Pfizer Healthcare India Pvt.

With over 5500 colleagues across these entities, covering commercial operations, global manufacturing, R&D, and other functions, we are committed to providing therapies to prevent, treat and cure some of the most important diseases that impact India and the world today.
