This week, SpeakPharma interviews Girish Chovatia, Chairman and Managing Director of Ami Lifesciences. Since its inception in 2006, Ami Lifesciences has emerged as one of the fastest-growing API manufacturers from India, delivering high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to global partners across more than 60 countries. With a portfolio of 80+ APIs and strong regulatory accreditations, including those from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM), and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), the company has built a reputation for innovation, reliability, and customer-centricity.Ami Lifesciences’ ability to combine chemistry expertise with forward-looking strategies such as backward integration, custom synthesis, and a growing focus on platform technologies for next-generation therapeutics sets it apart. The company’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, emphasis on regulatory compliance, and quality culture built from the development stage enable it to serve as a trusted partner to leading pharmaceutical companies worldwide.In this interview, Mr. Girish Chovatia shares key milestones in Ami Lifesciences’ growth journey, its approach to sustainability and innovation, and vision for expanding into new therapeutic areas and technologies to strengthen their global presence.Ami Lifesciences has grown rapidly since it began API operations in 2006. What have been the key strategic decisions or turning points that have fueled this growth?When we started API operations in 2006, we knew we were entering a highly competitive, globalized market. The key turning points in our journey were rooted in making bold but carefully thought-out strategic decisions. The first was building a quality-first culture from day one. We invested early in strong regulatory systems, which allowed us to secure approvals from agencies like FDA, EDQM and, PMDA, opening global markets.Another major factor was our focus on complex chemistry and high-barrier molecules. Instead of competing only in crowded, generic APIs, we decided to differentiate ourselves by developing technically challenging products where our chemistry expertise could shine.We also expanded our global footprint quickly, entering over 60 countries with a diverse product portfolio. Partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies gave us both credibility and growth momentum. Each milestone—from our first CEP approval to our first FDA clearance—strengthened our foundation.Most importantly, we built a team that believes in long-term value creation, not shortcuts. That culture of quality, innovation, and customer trust continues to fuel our growth.HIGHLIGHTS// Building quality-first culture/focus on complex chemistry/expanding global footprint/belief in long-term value creationWith 80 APIs and a presence in more than 60 countries, how does Ami Lifesciences ensure regulatory compliance and maintain quality standards across such a diverse global footprint?For us, regulatory compliance is not just a requirement—it is the backbone of our credibility. We’ve built a quality culture that starts from the development stage itself. Our dedicated DQA (Development Quality Assurance) and DRA (Development Regulatory Affairs) teams are involved right from early R&D, ensuring that every molecule is designed with regulatory expectations in mind.All our facilities operate under stringent cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) conditions and are routinely audited by leading authorities, including the FDA, EDQM, PMDA, and multiple global partners.
