History
Ranbaxy was started by Ranjit Singh and Gurbax Singh in 1937 as a
distributor for a Japanese company Shionogi. Interestingly the name Ranbaxyis a portmanteau word from the names of its first owners Ranjit and Gurbax. Bhai Mohan Singh bought the company in 1952 from his cousins Ranjit Singh and Gurbax Singh. After Bhai Mohan Singh's son Parvinder Singh joined thecompany in 1967, the company saw a significant transformation in its business and scale. In 1998, Ranbaxy entered United States, the world’s largest pharmaceutical market and now the biggest market for Ranbaxy, accounting for 28% of Ranbaxy's sales in 2005. Ranbaxy is also one of the world's top 10 in that pharmaceutical category as well. Yet, with India's agreement to apply international patent law at the beginning of 2005, Ranbaxy has begun converting itself into a full-fledged research-based pharmaceutical company. A major part of this effort has been the establishment of the company's own research and development center, which has enabled the company to begin to
enter the new chemical entities (NCE) and novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) markets. In the mid-2000s, the company had a number of NCEs in progress, and had already launched its first NDDS product, a single daily dosage formulation of ciprofloxacin. Ranbaxy is a truly global operation, producing its pharmaceutical preparations in manufacturing facilities in sevencountries, supported by sales and marketing subsidiaries in 44 countries, reaching more than 100 countries throughout the world. The Company has
clocked sales of USD 286 Mn (2006) registering a growth of over 17%.Growing ahead of the market the Company has enhanced its competitive position in the domestic market through its focused approach. Ranbaxy views its R&D capabilities as a vital component of its business strategy that will provide the company with a sustainable, long-term competitive advantage. The robust R&D environment within the company for both drug discovery & &
development and for generics is designed to bring into sharper focus, theneeds of both equally.

History
Tata Motors launches its first truck in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz
Tata Motors is a part of the Tata Group manages its share-holding through Tata Sons. The company was established in 1945 as a locomotive manufacturing unit and later expanded its operations to commercial vehicle sector in 1954 after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz AG of Germany. Despite the success of its commercial vehicles, Tata realized his company had to diversify and he began to look at other products. Based on consumer demand, he decided that building a small car would be the most practical new venture. So in 1998 it launched Tata Indica, India's first fully indigenous passenger car.Designed to be inexpensive and simple to build and maintain, the Indica became an instant hit in the Indian market. It was also exported to Europe namely the UK and Italy. Since then it has never looked back. In 2004 it acquired Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle and in late 2005 it acquired 21% Aragonese Hispano Carrocera giving it controlling rights of the company. It has formed a Joint Venture with Marcopolo of Brazil and introduced low-floor buses in the Indian Market. Recently it had acquired British Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business, which also includes the Rover, Daimler and Lanchester brand names

Expansion
The first generation Tata Indica
After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle. After the launch of three more vehicles, Tata Estate (1992, a stationwagon design based on the earlier 'TataMobile' (1989), a light commercial vehicle), Tata Sumo (LCV, 1994) and Tata Safari (1998, India's first sports utility vehicle). Tata launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully indigenous passenger car of India. Though the car was initially panned by auto-analysts, the car's excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-favourite. A badge engineered version of the car was sold in the United Kingdom as the Rover CityRover. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South Africa.The success of Indica in many ways marked the rise of Tata Motors. [8]
