1. At a Glance (50 words)
Dr. Reddy’s just dropped a cool ₹565.4 Cr into its Russian arm, DRL Russia, for a 45.19% stake. This isn’t vodka money—it’s working capital infusion to keep the pharmaceutical engine running in Russia. A move from boardroom to borscht that’s less about risk, more about reach.
