Rodec Pharma IPO

Company Overview

Rodec Pharma is a veterinary pharmaceutical and animal nutrition company engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of veterinary drugs and animal feed supplements across India.

Founded in 1997, the company began as a distributor of veterinary formulations and evolved into a fully integrated manufacturer after commissioning its Fami-QS and ISO-certified facility in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, in December 2022. This transition enabled Rodec to bring manufacturing in-house, improve margins, enhance quality control, and expand production capacity.

The company’s core business is divided into two segments:

  • Veterinary Pharmaceutical Drugs – covering therapeutic categories such as antibiotics, analgesics, antipyretics, hormones, anthelmintics, steroids, herbal formulations, and vitamins.
  • Animal Feed Supplements – targeting nutritional balance, reproductive performance, and overall animal productivity.

Rodec serves veterinarians, livestock farmers, and animal healthcare providers through a nationwide distribution network comprising:

  • 13 consignee agents
  • 401 stockists
  • 416 veterinary sales representatives (VSRs)
    operating across 15 Indian states, including major markets such as Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Assam.

Strategic Partnerships & Growth Initiatives

Rodec Pharma recently entered into a alliance with Bluejais B.V., Netherlands, becoming its exclusive Indian distributor for poultry health products—Moistal and Acidro-H.
This partnership marks Rodec’s entry into the poultry segment, an emerging high-growth market in India, which ranks second globally in egg production.

The company’s future strategies focus on:

  • Expanding into under-penetrated geographies,
  • Strengthening its consignee agent and stockist base,
  • Enhancing cost efficiency through digitalisation and procurement optimisation, and
  • Diversifying its portfolio further into poultry nutrition and feed therapeutics.
