Zydus partners with Pinkathon to boost breast cancer awareness

Zydus Lifesciences Limited is partnering with Pinkathon, India's largest women's run, for its 10th Mumbai edition on December 21, 2025, at MMRDA Grounds, BKC, as part of a nationwide breast cancer awareness campaign. The "Zydus Pinkathon" initiative will extend across six Indian cities throughout 2025-26, aiming to engage over 30,000 women and raise awareness about women's health and early detection of breast cancer.

The initiative highlights the "Easiest Exam" campaign, encouraging women to perform a 3-minute self-breast examination monthly. The second edition of this campaign, launching in October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, will feature awareness campaigns, podcasts, and on-ground events, dispelling myths and sharing stories of breast cancer warriors.

Categories for the Mumbai event include 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, and ultra-distances of 50 km, 75 km, and 100 km, including a 100 km relay under the "Invincible Women" initiative. Zydus Lifesciences employs over 28,000 people globally, with 1,500 scientists dedicated to R&D, focusing on innovation in healthcare therapies, particularly in cancer.
