PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate dissemination
Alivus Life Sciences announces acquisition of majority stake in IQGenX
Mumbai, August 18, 2026: Alivus Life Sciences Limited (formerly Glenmark Life Sciences Limited), a leading
developer and manufacturer of select, high-value, non-commoditized, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
(APIs) in chronic therapeutic areas, today announced the acquisition of 76% stake in IQGenX Pharma
Private Limited for a consideration of INR 91.2 million.
Founded in October 2016, IQGenX Pharma Private Limited is a custom research organization which
operates in formulation development of oral solids, sterile injectable and ophthalmic solutions for US, EU,
Latin America, Middle East and other highly regulated and semi regulated markets.
While APIs anchor everything that Alivus does, this acquisition enables the company to leverage its core
portfolio selectively into advanced formulation development. The resultant integrated end-to-end
platform will deliver deep scientific expertise across complex delivery formats, including oral solids,
complex injectables and ophthalmics. Through the IQGenX platform, Alivus extends its operational
footprint to include rigorous bioequivalence and stability studies, thereby enabling comprehensive
regulatory filings tailored for diverse global markets. This will help significantly to expand the company’s
global customer base in the generic pharmaceutical segment.
Additionally, Alivus is significantly scaling up its value proposition for global CDMO customers through
this expanded service platform which will cover pre-formulation studies, prototype development, process
optimisation, seamless scale-up, clinical supplies and full-scale commercial manufacturing. These will be
complemented with analytical development, methods validation, stability programmes and complete
regulatory submission support.
Furthermore, Alivus will strategically leverage IQGenX’s specialised platform alongside its own world-
class API portfolio, with primary focus on Oncology, to curate a high-impact basket of differentiated, niche
assets. Backed by validated, commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities, these assets are primed for
strategic out-licensing across multiple geographies.
The acquisition is subject to customary closing condition precedents and is expected to close by the end
of the current calendar year.
