“This is a unique position to work from where the two entities will leverage their strengths and add value...With this, I have signed up for a bigger role at Eris and look forward to making notable contribution to the industry at large,” UTH Healthcare Chairman A. K. Khanna said.
Shares of Eris Lifesciences were trading at Rs 580 per scrip on BSE, up 0.42 per cent from its previous close.
