Weakness-Revenue  is solely dependent on India. Rivalry from other pharmaceutical firms. The company has to incur a huge expense in R&D. It has a limited market share due to high competition from local as well as multinational pharmaceutical companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunity- The company is constantly expanding in the domestic and international markets. It is focused on developing new products.
