Sudeep Pharma works in two main areas: making basic mineral ingredients for medicines, food, and supplements (like calcium and zinc), and developing more advanced, customized mineral systems. They sell to companies that make vitamins, nutritional drinks, and even food products.

In the last quarter (Q1 FY26), 66.43% of their sales came from the mineral ingredient business, and 33.57% from the specialized ingredient systems. A significant portion of their sales (41.32%) come from India, with exports accounting for the remaining 58.68%.

Before the IPO, the company secured Rs 268.49 crore from “anchor investors.” These are big investors who buy shares ahead of the IPO to show confidence. They purchased 45.27 million shares at a price of Rs 593 each.

For the period ending June 30, 2025, Sudeep Pharma reported a profit of Rs 30.81 crore and total sales of Rs 124.92 crore. This demonstrates a stable and profitable operation.
