Drug maker Ranbaxy Laboratories said on Thursday its president and chief financial officer Omesh Sethi has resigned from the services of the company.

"Omesh Sethi, president & chief financial officer has resigned from the services of the company, with effect from January 25, 2011," Ranbaxy Laboratories said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
