History of NN India

Novo Nordisk India story

The genesis of Novo Nordisk India goes back to 1990 when a liaison office of Novo Nordisk A/S, was set up in Mumbai. Prior to this Novo Nordisk A/S products were marketed in India through various other companies. Even then, Novo Nordisk was involved in creating awareness in diabetes care with the help of healthcare professionals in India.

On April 1, 1994, Novo Nordisk (I) Pvt. Ltd. was set up with its headquarters in Bangalore with 26 employees. It has now been rechristened as Novo Nordisk India Private Limited.

In 1998, recognising the intense need to provide awareness and education in healthcare in  India, the Novo Nordisk Education Foundation (NNEF) was founded. NNEF is a non-profit organisation, with a mission of "Enhancing healthcare through awareness and education".

Novo Nordisk India's portfolio of products and services deals with therapy areas in Diabetes, Human Growth Hormone and Haemostasis Management.
