About Me

Yusuf Hamied is the non-executive chairman of Mumbai-based generics maker Cipla. Cipla was founded in 1935 by his father Khwaja Abdul Hamied, a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi. After the patriarch passed away in 1972, Cambridge-educated Hamied and his brother Mustafa inherited the business. Hamied took on big pharmaceutical companies, offering low-cost generic drugs for diseases such as AIDS, earning the label of drug pirate. At the annual shareholders' meeting in 2023, Hamied called reports of a potential stake sale in Cipla by the family to a private equity firm as "speculative."
