<br />
Patel was born at [[Kathor]] in South [[Gujarat]] and studied [[chemistry]] at [[Gujarat University]]'s L.M. College of Pharmacy before becoming a lecturer there. With [[Indravadan Modi]] he founded Cadila Laboratories in 1952.<br />
<br />
Among the early achievements of Cadila Laboratories were the production of Isopar, a formulation of the anti-[[tuberculosis]] drugs [[Isoniazid]] & [[Para-amino salicylic acid]] in 1957, and Neuroxin-12, a single-vial mixture of [[vitamin B1|vitamin B<sub>1</sub>]], [[vitamin B6|vitamin B<sub>6</sub>]], and [[vitamin B12|vitamin B<sub>12</sub>]], in 1959. In 1973 the firm developed process technology to make the anti-[[diabetes|diabetic]] drug [[glibenclamide]], while in 1977 the firm launched Dexona-20, which was a concentrated form of the [[anti-inflammatory]] drug [[dexamethasone]].<br />
<br />
In 1995, after a disagreement between Patel and Modi, Cadila Laboratories was restructured with the business being split two ways. [[Cadila Healthcare]] was set up to take the Patel's share of the business and Cadila Pharmaceutical took Modi's share. Patel was chairman and managing director of Cadila Healthcare until his death. Cadila Healthcare [[Initial public offering|went public]] on the [[Bombay Stock Exchange]] in 2000. His son [[Pankaj Patel]] (born 1951) is the current Chairman and Managing Director of Cadila Healthcare.<br />
