Rubicon Research Limited, formerly known as Rubicon Research Private Limited specializes in pharmaceutical formulations, providing a range of specialty pharmaceuticals and drug-device combination products for regulated markets, particularly the United States. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, Rubicon Research Pvt. Ltd.
focuses on pharmaceutical formulations. In April 2026, Rubicon Research Pvt. Ltd. , a portfolio company of General Atlantic, agreed to acquire an 85% majority stake in Arinna Lifesciences Ltd.

Rubicon Research’s revenue streams expanded to include domestic sales of CNS‑focused branded formulations across India, supported by Arinna’s portfolio of 60+ chronic therapy brands and a network of over 4,000 prescribers.
The recent investment of INR 10 billion from General Atlantic will be utilized to support these initiatives, enhancing their research capabilities and accelerating the development of innovative pharmaceutical solutions. This strategic funding is expected to bolster their efforts in expanding into targeted regions and launching new products, thereby driving future growth.
