History

In 2009, Indegene signed a master service agreement with 6 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the world.[1][9] The following year, Indegene acquired Canada-based Aptilon, a multichannel marketing firm, for $4 million.[10] The company expanded its reach further into North America by acquiring Atlanta-based Total Therapeutic Management in 2014.[11]

In 2011 and 2012, The Economic Times named Indegene one of the best companies to work for in the Professional Services industry.[12][13] In 2012, Indegene had 900 employees in offices in India, the United States, the European Union, and China.[13] By 2015, the number of employees at Indegene increased to 1,200.[4]
