Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) will commemorate its 140th anniversary today with activities at Lilly locations worldwide, including a ceremony to unveil a statue dedicated to founder Colonel Eli Lilly at global headquarters in Indianapolis.
Over 14 decades, the organization has contributed more than 100 medicines and significant medical advances, such as the first commercially available insulin, manufacturing and global distribution of the Salk polio vaccine and mental health breakthroughs such as anti-depressant Prozac® (fluoxetine). Today Lilly continues to progress its most robust pipeline in history with dozens of potential new medicines in mid- to late-stage development for cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disease, pain and Alzheimer’s disease.
“As Lilly celebrates 140 years, we’re keeping the vision of our founder alive – from our dedication in the lab to our impact in the community,” said John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Lilly chairman, president and chief executive officer, who began his career at Lilly as a chemist in 1979. “Colonel Eli Lilly started this company to put science to work fighting disease and encouraged his successors to ‘take what you find here and make it better and better.’ That vision pushes us daily to honor Colonel Lilly’s legacy and continue in our quest to discover new medicines to help make life better.”

Consumers today value both the convenience of shopping online & the assurance and expertise that a trusted retail chain has to offer. In India 14% people who need vision correction end up not buying eyewear because they find the buying journey very complicated & inconvenient. Keeping this in mind, Titan Eyeplus has launched a strategic partnership with the country’s E-commerce giant – Flipkart. During the upcoming Big Billion Day, a customer buying a frame on Flipkart can walk into any of the 500+ Titan Eyeplus stores and get a lens free.
This winning combination will allow the customer to choose from a wide variety frames from the comfort of his home, and walk into an Eyeplus store to complete the purchase. Choice of frame is driven by style which is more personal and does not need technical help. On the other hand, lenses are more technical and need to be customized by a customer’s lifestyle. Intervention of an optometrist ensures the best solution. With this partnership both the players are together ensuring best optical shopping experience.
