Dr. Cyrus Poonawalla, Chairman of Poonawalla Group which includes the privately owned Serum Institute of India, India’s top biotech company and the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer by number of doses produced and sold globally (more than 1.3 billion doses). In 1966 Dr. Poonawalla founded Serum Institute of India (SII) which launched its first therapeutic anti-tetanus serum within two years, and began producing the anti-tetanus vaccines.

VACCINE KING CYRUS POONAWALLA, who made his fortune in the second half of the twentieth century, best exemplifies the continued success of Parsi entrepreneurship. Cyrus is today the richest Parsi in India. His company, the Serum Institute of India (SII), is the largest producer of vaccines in the world in terms of dosages and has been in the global spotlight because of the coronavirus pandemic. Cyrus is the chairman and managing director of the privately owned company and his son Adar is the CEO. Politico magazine described Adar last year as ‘Perhaps the most important figure in the global vaccine race who isn’t working in a laboratory.’ Because of SII’s reputation for selling quality vaccines at relatively low prices and its huge production capacity, international vaccine developers lined up for a possible collaboration with the group from early last year, as the coronavirus spread rapidly around the world. SII had to choose from nearly a hundred vaccine candidates, settling for five, most notably the vaccine developed by the British Swedish company AstraZeneca and Oxford University which was rolled out in India in January, this year, as Covishield. Adar struck a deal to produce a billion doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine for developing countries, including India. The world anxiously watched the Covishield trials, since it hoped the vaccine could prove to be the silver bullet to deal with the pandemic. It was not just one of the first vaccines to be granted approval...
