It was 1997, when Dr. Vadlamani
embarked on her entrepreneurial journey
with the establishment of Murli Krishna
Exports Pvt. Ltd. Initially functioning
as an indenting operation, the company
facilitated trade in pharmaceutical
products. Sensing the potential for growth,
in 2003, she transitioned the company
from indenting to trading, a strategic move
that proved instrumental in its expansion.
Under her visionary leadership, Murli
Krishna Exports flourished, specialising in
the export of bulk Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (APIs) and semi-finished
formulations, specifically in pellet form.
Leveraging her profound understanding
of the pharmaceutical landscape, she identified an opportunity to further
capitalise on the industry’s demands. In
2004, she ventured into a new endeavour,
by establishing MKPPL–a 100% export-
oriented unit. This innovative enterprise,
commissioned in 2005, focused on
the manufacturing of semi-finished
formulations.
Starting as a Regulatory Compliant
prefinished formulation intermediates
facility in 2004, the company evolved
into a finished dosage firm specialising
in FTF formulation. Initially, MKPPL
focused on leveraging microencapsulation
as a drug delivery system. However, the
company constantly evolved and focused
on innovation. Today, it has expanded its
capabilities to encompass cutting-edge
technologies such as nanoparticles and
nano encapsulations. Its expertise extends
to diverse therapeutic areas, including
ophthalmology, corticosteroids, oncology,
transdermal applications, and oral solid
dosage products. The transformational
journey showcases its relentless pursuit of
progress.
Dr. Vadlamani further highlights
the company’s focus on research
and development that has helped it
amass a significant number of patents,
underscoring its prowess in intellectual
property. Moreover, its emphasis on
aqueous-based technologies has further
propelled its advancements.
The entrepreneur envisions MKPPL
as a formidable force in the domains
of nanoparticles, niche developments,
and niche delivery systems. She wants
MKPPL to attain global recognition as
a leading provider of innovative drug
delivery systems. She emphasises that the
organisation’s aim is to establish itself at
the pinnacle of the field worldwide. Rather
than competing with others, the focus is
on surpassing its own achievements.
