On the tragic afternoon of June 12, 2025, the world witnessed one of the darkest days in aviation history. Air India Flight AI171, operating from Ahmedabad to London, met with a devastating accident just moments after takeoff. As a company rooted in Gujarat and connected deeply with our people, Ocean Pharmaceutical mourns the irreplaceable loss of 269 lives – passengers, crew members, and civilians on the ground.
This incident, which occurred when the aircraft tragically crashed into the B.J. Medical College hostel building, shook not only the city of Ahmedabad but the hearts of millions around the globe. Among the victims were families, professionals, international citizens, and students – each with dreams, hopes, and futures that were suddenly and painfully cut short.
We are especially moved by the resilience of emergency services, hospital teams, and volunteers who rushed to the site and did everything in their power to save lives and minimize further tragedy. To the lone survivor of this heartbreaking event, we offer our deepest support and prayers for a full recovery.
At Ocean Pharmaceutical, we stand in solidarity with every family and individual impacted by this tragedy. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the bereaved families. Words can never fill the void created by such a loss, but we hope the collective prayers of a grieving nation offer some comfort.
We also salute the efforts of the government, aviation authorities, and investigative teams working tirelessly to uncover the cause of this crash so that such tragedies can be prevented in the future.
As a company committed to health, life, and well-being, we promise to keep humanity at the core of everything we do. In honor of those we lost, Ocean Pharmaceutical will contribute to local emergency and relief organizations working directly with the affected families.
Let us come together, not just in mourning, but in strength, empathy, and action.
Rest in peace, to all the souls we lost. You will never be forgotten.
