In November 2024 the National Company Law Tribunal gave approval to Strides Pharma for the spinning of OneSource.

In September, Strides Pharma had said that it will spin off its CDMO and soft gelatin business under Stelis and call it OneSource. OneSource is India's first specialty pharma pure play CDMO, according to the company. The company includes three arms, biologics and high-end drug devices combination, which was under its unit Stelis, oral technologies and sterile injectables.

The move will result in the integration of synergies and enable better supervision of the business, the company had said in an exchange filing. In addition, it would help achieve growth and sustain value creation for the shareholders, the company said.
