Mumbai, July 19

Nicholas Piramal India (NPIL) Director, Dr Swati Piramal, has been conferred the Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite (Knight of the Order of Merit) by the French Government.

One of the highest civilian honours given by the French government, the award was for Dr Piramal's contribution towards the development of Indo-French relations in medicine and trade. The award was conferred by the Ambassador of France Mr Dominique Girard, here on Wednesday.

Dr Piramal said NPIL had a strategic alliance with Pierre Fabre, France's second largest pharmaceutical company. It manufactures, markets and distributes Pierre Fabre products (dermatology and oncology) in India.

The Mumbai-based drug-maker also has partnerships with French companies, Sanofi-Aventis in the diabetes segment, Mundipharma and Ethypharm.Ipsen.
