The top management of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries is going to see a lot of changes. The company has appointed Kirti Ganorkar as the new managing director. He will take over this responsibility from September 1, 2025, replacing Dilip Sanghvi. The pharmaceutical company said in a statement that the entire business and all functions will work under the supervision of Ganorkar. At the same time, Dilip Sanghvi will continue to chair the company’s board as executive chairman.

Ganorkar’s appointment as MD is subject to shareholder approval at Sun Pharma’s upcoming annual general meeting. Ganorkar has been leading the India business at Sun Pharma since June 2019. Under his leadership, the company’s India business has grown steadily, further increasing its market share.

According to Sun Pharma, Ganorkar has played a key role in the company’s entry into the specialty sector by acquiring rights to innovative products like Ilumya. He led the company’s entry into Japan and laid the initial base for its entry into Europe. Ganorkar, who holds a degree in chemical engineering and an MBA, joined Sun Pharma in 1996. He also supported the US business along with steering several large generic projects from concept to commercialization. The company said Sanghvi will focus on strengthening the company’s specialty portfolio.
