- The company produces around 120 products and the API business generates substantial revenue. According to Religare Broking, Glamark Life Sciences has strong associations with leading generic pharma companies across the world through which the company has expanded its product portfolio. This has increased the presence of the company in many countries. In such a situation, Religare Broking has also considered the company’s IPO worth investing in from a long-term perspective.
