===Formation===
Ranbaxy was started by Ranbir Singh and Gurbax Singh in 1937 as a distributor for Japanese company [[Shionogi]]. The name Ranbaxy blends the names of its founders: '''Ran'''bir and Gur'''bax'''. Bhai Mohan Singh bought the company in 1952 from his cousins Ranbir and Gurbax. After Bhai Mohan Singh's son Parvinder Singh joined the company in 1967, the company saw an increase in scale.

In the late 1990s, Ranbaxy formed a US company, Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc., in order to support its entry into the pharmaceutical market in United States.<ref>{{cite journal | url = https://www.pharmacytimes.com/publications/supplement/2013/generic-supplement-2013/ranbaxy-ranbaxy-continues-to-add-value-and-utility-to-us-product-portfolio | publisher = Pharmacy Times | website = pharmacytimes.com | title = Ranbaxy: Ranbaxy Continues to Add Value and Utility to US Product Portfolio | series = Generic Supplement 2013 | date = 23 July 2013 | quote = ''Ranbaxy [..] entered the U.S. generic pharmaceutical market in 1995 introducing its first product under the Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc. label in January 1998'' | access-date = 11 August 2018 | archive-date = 6 August 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200806135011/https://www.pharmacytimes.com/publications/supplement/2013/generic-supplement-2013/ranbaxy-ranbaxy-continues-to-add-value-and-utility-to-us-product-portfolio | url-status = dead }}</ref>
