Leveraging Rising’s extensive product portfolio to become vertically integrated with our already world class API and finished dose manufacturing capabilities will enable us to better serve U.S. customers,” said Venkat Jasti, CEO & Chairman of Suven Life Sciences.

We have an exceptional generic pharmaceutical management team ready to facilitate a smooth transition while maximizing the value of these assets. We look forward to working towards a successful closing,” said Vimal Kavuru, who will serve as CEO of Shore Suven Pharma.
