Pharmaceutical major Lupin Limited has selected Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to modernize its private cloud infrastructure with the HPE Private Cloud Enterprise solution. The deployment aims to accelerate innovation, strengthen data security, and reduce overall cloud expenditure, while enabling Lupin to repatriate key workloads from public cloud to on-premises infrastructure.
Announced on April 23, the partnership builds on Lupin’s existing engagement with HPE GreenLake and reflects a strategic shift toward cloud-native solutions with cost visibility, regulatory alignment, and operational control.
“HPE Private Cloud Enterprise is perfectly aligned with our business objectives,” said Ramesh Swaminathan, Executive Director, Global CFO & Head of API Plus SBU, Lupin. “It offers the flexibility, security, and efficiency needed to facilitate our growth and consistently deliver high-quality products.”
Key Benefits Across Core and Edge Operations

The infrastructure will host core enterprise applications, including SAP S/4 HANA, and integrate network and security services under HPE’s managed services model. The approach gives Lupin end-to-end visibility and ensures alignment with stringent industry compliance requirements.
“Our partnership with Lupin reinforces HPE’s leadership in private cloud and our commitment to enabling enterprise innovation,” said Som Satsangi, SVP and Managing Director, HPE India. “As more Indian enterprises prioritize security, control, and efficiency, we are proud to support their transformation with future-ready infrastructure.”
