Divide by Zero is the manufacturer of FDM machines, specifically the Accucraft 3D printer.

While the technologies SLA and SLS were first to appear, FDM / FFF was able to grow in South Asian / Indian market due to the low price and better marketing. Even today they remain cheaper as compared to other technologies, both on the initial and running cost. After expiry of the key patents, FFF/FDM became available to anyone, which has led to its further reduction in price and availability as an open source machine. With more patents expiring, more technologies would move into this category.”

 “SLA, SLS and DMLS are all excellent production-worthy technologies which help build precise parts due to lower Z-heights. They are expensive as of now, and are growing in essential areas such as aerospace, automotive and medical industries. The game changer for these technologies will be the ability to reliably and efficiently manufacture end usable parts in medium size batches. DLP technology is young, but could be very disruptive. It has 3 main advantages of Price, Precision and Speed. DLP has only one limitation; that is its build size. There has been a rapid increase in the number of new machines using DLP, and we are looking out for the best performers in this space.”

Both Economic Times and Times of India carried news items on this smart phone. They expressed doubt on how the company can supply at this low price. The other manufacturers request Ministry of Electronics to investigate and find out if there is any foul play in the offer.


Strategy to Sell Freedom Smart Phone at Rs. 251


How will the company manage to sell it at that price?

Ringing Bell claims it will be able to achieve this feat through four strategies.

Rs 2,500, is present cost of the device.

One, the benefit excise duty cuts by assembling handsets domestically would be Rs 400 or 16 per cent of Rs 2,500.

However, they are expecting from the government, which is at 13.8 per cent or Rs 55 lower than Rs 400.


Two, as it starts manufacturing in huge quantities (at least 500,000 units a month), it would be able to cut costs by a further Rs 500 a unit.

Three, online sales will help it cut costs by another Rs 500.

Four, it will have a specialised online platform, and earn additional revenue which is going fund the sasles of Freedom 251.

7.35 Crore Freedom 251 Phone Booked.
30,000 persons paid the full amount.
The company owner claimed that he will get the phone made at Rs. 220.  Shipping charges are collected separately. So there is margin for him. The present market price of the phone is Rs. 1719. But they decided the pricing because they wanted India to become Digital India Country

Monoclonal Antibodies in India

mAbs in India


Biocon was the first Indian company to come up with its mAbs product, BIOMAb-EGFR (Nimotuzumab). The product was granted regulatory marketing and manufacturing approval in India in September 2006. The product is a therapeutic monoclonal antibody-based drug for treating solid tumors of epithelial origin, such as head and neck cancers.



 “In 2007, Dr Reddy's Labs came out with the novel concept of producing the biosimilar version of Rituximab, a version of Roche's cancer therapy, which could allow a greater access to the drug at half the price of the original. Reditux is the second product from Dr Reddy's Biologics Division, which is developing treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The company has also launched the generic version of Amgen's Neupogen, and named it Grafeel.

Pune-based Serum Institute has entered into another agreement with Akorn of the US in 2007  for definitive development and exclusive distribution rights for rabies mAb.

Intas Biopharmaceuticals has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Government of Gujarat in 2009 for setting up a separate manufacturing facility for MAbs, a recombinant mammalian platform product. The company will invest Rs 160 crore towards setting up a manufacturing facility at Sanand near Ahmedabad. The facility, fully-dedicated for mAbs, will undertake large-scale manufacturing of the recombinant product with a capacity of 5000L in phases.

 Daftary group promoted Bharat Serums and Vaccines and Bangalore-based Avesthagen are some of the other notable companies that have chalked our serious plans for mABs.



“MAbs business involves patents and for navigating through these patents requires skills,”

Future prospects
By 2015 ,  the sales of mAbs is expected to reach Rs 3 lakh crore ($67.6 bn), with a CAGR of 13.8 percent between 2008 and 2015. The biotherapeutic market would be dominated with mAbs in next five years as most of the blockbuster molecules are going off-patented.

All the pharma majors have mAbs projects in their R&D portfolio. Introduction of newer monoclonal antibodies will greatly expand the market. Globally, the FDA had approved four new mAbs and EMA had approved seven new mAbs in 2009. There were at least six new mAbs under regulatory review, 26 mAbs (32 in 2008) are in phase III and over 100 are in phase II clinical trials. There are more than 150 mAbs molecule awaiting regulatory approval. I



Compared to India, China is a big market for mAbs. Some notable  companies include Union Stem Cell and Gene Engineering and Biotech pharmaceutical. In a serious effort towards innovation,China is moving towards areas like stem cells, mAbs, cancer and HIV development and vaccines with investments being pumped in both by the Government and foreign sources.
