Hepcinat

THE TRAILBLAZER IN PHARMACEUTICS

Believing in the dictum that the right direction towards achieving corporate sustainability is finding answers to medical problems that have long been considered as not affordable, NATCO has always tried to find solutions to address issues faced by a large patient pool. No wonder, it was amongst the first companies in India to launch a highly effective generic medicine for curing Hepatitis C, which is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) that primarily affects the liver. The enormity of this disease can be estimated by the fact that in the year 2015, about 100 million Indians were infected with it. Until mid 2015, there was no oral treatment available in India that offered high cure rates of Hepatitis C and the treatment options were limited to Pegylated Interferon / RBV which had a cure rate of about 55%, with a lot of side effects.

The Much Awaited Launch

Hepatitis C was being considered as almost equivalent to incurable disease in India as the high cost of the treatment, equivalent to around USD 1000 per tablet, was prohibitive for most of the patients. Thus, for an efficient treatment of this disease, the doctors were anticipating a brand of Sofosbuvir with quality, affordability and accessibility. Fulfilling these unmet needs successfully, NATCO recognized the opportunity and positioned itself at the right market timing, and become a pioneer in manufacturing and selling of generic Sofosbuvir under the brand ‘Hepcinat’ in India. Today, the Company holds over 60% of the Indian market share for its leading brand Hepcinat, as per AWACS data.

Healing Effectively

Facilitating a paradigm shift towards affordable treatment of Hepatitis C, Hepcinat is truly an evolution and revolution in the treatment of HCV. Further, with the affordable pricing of NATCO, the therapy benefits are now accessible to all economic strata and even the semi rural and rural areas of India and the company has a provision for free medicines for the poor & needy.

Today, Hepcinat is the Number 1 Brand for treatment of Hepatitis C disease in India & is the youngest brand in the top 50 brands in the Indian Pharmaceutical market & holds the 14th Brand position (AWACS data, July 2017).

VTP REALTY

THE TURNAROUND SPECIALIST

Backed by three decades of legacy, VTP Realty is today Pune’s top real estate developer and a winner of several national and international laurels for its excellence in the business. The company reinforced its market dominance last year by delivering an impressive 36 lakh square feet in a single financial year.

Apart of the multi-business VTP Group, VTP Realty was established in 1985 under the able guidance of Vilaskumar Thanmal Palresha. With his tireless efforts, he has created a long standing legacy business beginning from a kirana shop to turn into a trusted company dealing in construction material supplies. The organisation then steadily became the largest realty business in the west-Indian city of Pune. On the course, it has also become the second-largest supplier of cement in Maharashtra and the largest in Pune.

VTP Realty started as the sole real estate arm of the group in 2008, and since then has worked on multiple award-winning projects, including schools, malls, residential and commercial properties, and hotels, among others. Some of its most successful projects include VTP Urban Space, VTP Alpine, Landmark, The Marketplace, VIBGYOR Schools, and Eden International School, to name a few.

Last year, VTP Realty reinforced its market dominance by delivering an impressive 36 lakh square feet in a single financial year. Brand VTP currently has 3 crore square feet under construction.

THE STRONG FOUNDATION

It is impossible for any business to survive in today’s overly competitive world. If one wants to succeed, it is really important to have a strong vision and unified mission within the team that everyone collectively focuses on. For VTP Realty, too, the secret sauce behind its success has been its unwavering commitment to its core values, which lay in its aim to be one of the most admired real estate brands in the country.

With innovation, trust, and care at the fulcrum of its business, VTP Realty is reimagining the power of strong infrastructure for a country’s growth daily. It has built a strong team of like-
minded and passionate individuals who strive continuously to deliver unmatched product quality, attention to detail and transparency.

VTP Realty understands the modern consumer landscape – how homes have transformed into a melting pot for the personal and professional lives of individuals, how shopping centres have become safe havens and chill-out zones as well, and how educational institutions are now all about the holistic development of an individual. Therefore, it keeps introducing all the modern touches, backed by futuristic technology, and strong material in its projects.

When it comes to realty in Pune, no one can match the expertise and hold over the market that VTP Realty has. Its popularity is only increasing by the way it delivers timely, ultra modern, and savvy townships, residential properties, and commercial outlets.

THE MANY LAURELS

When any business is tirelessly striving for excellence, laurels follow naturally. VTP Realty’s most noteworthy feat has been its success in hosting the single largest Gruh Pravesh event on Gudi Padwa, one of the most auspicious days for new beginnings in the Hindu calendar,
this year. The event saw 1,778 families conduct Gruh Pravesh ceremonies on the same day across five projects. This extraordinary accomplishment has shattered all previous records in the Pune real estate market and perhaps the Indian market as well.

Additionally, it has won many awards for its projects, including but not limited to, Developer of the Year 2022, SAP Dare to Dream Awards 2022, Best Campaign of the Year for VTP Euphoria, Best Township Project of the Year for Pegasus, and multiple awards at the Asia-Pacific Property Awards for its various projects. It has been ranked the Real Estate Company of the Year three times in a row. With several of its outstanding projects under construction, it will not be a surprise if VTP Realty continues to win many awards in the future as well.

MatriDerm

MatriDerm® is an acellular dermal matrix which is a unique combination of native collagen and elastin. Its porous three-dimensional structure encompasses Type I, III, and V collagen fibers and elastin with a structure very similar to the human dermis. The elastin – a protein that provides flexibility and structural integrity to body tissues used in MatriDerm® – is sourced from bovine nuchal ligament by hydrolysis. MatriDerm® serves as a scaffold for tissue regeneration and reduces the formation of scar tissue. It has excellent hemostatic properties and, thus, reduces the risk of sub graft hematoma supporting orderly healing in complex, hard-to-heal wounds with good functional and aesthetic outcomes. The absence of chemical crosslinking during collagen production ensures exceptional biocompatibility and minimises the risk of adverse effects following application.

This versatile biomaterial serves as a dermal substitute, effectively preventing premature tissue adherence, especially in tendon cases, and can be applied to open and closed mucosal wounds.

INNOVATIVE TISSUE REGENERATION

MatriDerm® enhances cell invasion, elongation, proliferation, and limits myofibroblast formation and contraction, thanks to the company’s Advanced CryoSafe® Method that preserves the native structure without chemical crosslinking. Mr. Sanjeev K Sawhney, Country Head and General Manager, Medskin Solutions Dr Suwelack AG, India Liaison Office, emphasises the organisation’s unwavering commitment to maintaining product quality and safety from production’s outset. Specialising in refining and preserving active biomaterials’ native properties, the company substantiates product efficacy through scientific evidence, ensuring a positive impact on user experience.

ENSURING SAFETY AND QUALITY

The brand’s MedCare Division formulations use native biomaterials in their most active form. Their proprietary methods allow them to ensure efficient material utilisation and optimal ingredient delivery to the skin using diverse ways to increase infiltration. The quality of the ingredients is crucial and begins from choosing the suitable raw materials for the best quality. During manufacturing, the company adheres to the highest hygiene standards. Its quality department controls each produced lot, and each product undergoes safety testing by an independent institute. MatriDerm® has a quality system, certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and MDSAP.

In the words of Diana Ferro, the Chief Executive Officer of the organisation, “The company has a clear vision to be a partner of choice in advancing regeneration with science one can feel, by adding years to life and life to years.”
