Key leadership changes
Indian industrialist Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw who transitioned from the role of Non Executive Chairman to Executive Chairman from April 1 onwards, said she is pleased to have taken the role at a pivotal moment in the company’s growth journey. “I look forward to working with the new leadership team to shape our next phase of expansion, as we continue to benefit from the rising global demand for outsourcing across the life sciences sector. While biotech funding remains discerning and largely concentrated on late-stage assets, Syngene’s diversified end-to-end business model—from discovery and development to manufacturing gives us both resilience and strategic agility in navigating these market realities. We are also focused on building new business lines, strengthening our differentiated service offerings, and investing in AI and digital capabilities that will enhance speed, productivity, and value creation for our clients,” she said.
Syngene International’s Managing Director and CEO Peter Bains meanwhile said that Syngene’s full-year revenue from operations grew 3%, and with an EBITDA margin of 25%, performance was in line with its revised full-year guidance. “The overall numbers reflect the specific impact from a single large-molecule biologics client, with the underlying business showing steady momentum. During the year, we continued to invest in new capabilities and emerging modalities such as peptides and ADCs, further strengthening our integrated offering and positioning us for long-term growth,” he said.Notably, Syngene announced that Siddharth Mittal has been appointed Managing Director and CEO of the company, effective from July 1, 2026, for a five-year term. He will succeed Peter Bains. Mittal earlier served as the Managing Director and CEO of Biocon.“Q4 reported growth at 2% and 13% sequentially reflects the ongoing product impact in our largest biologics customer, resulting in full year growth of 3%. Operating EBITDA margin at 25% for the year reflects this impact and additional operating costs as we bring the new biologics manufacturing facility in India into operations. We generated Rs. 521 Cr of cash during the year, post capex investment, strengthening our balance sheet,” said the company CFO Deepak Jain.Notably, Maninder Kapoor Puri will take over as the company’s Chief Human Resources Officer from May 1 onwards. She previously led the human resources function at Biocon.
