The pharmaceutical industry and life sciences industry is undergoing a period of profound transformation. Many analysts agree that the Industry is moving from the era of the “blockbuster drug” to a new operating model known as personalized medicine. While achieving success in research and development continues to define those who will be the industry’s winners and losers, other issues are increasingly demanding the attention of the top management. They include navigating the challenges of global regulatory compliance, optimizing the supply chain, achieving the marketing excellence and effectively managing organizational complexity on a global scale. These issues along with increased scrutiny of the industry’s business practices and difficult Questions over the safety of marketed drugs have created substantial tension s between the Industry and the stakeholders.

The Summit will deliberate critical topics of tremendous significance confronted by the industry. The Summit will witness the participation from the bigwigs of the Industry, Pharma academia, government bureaucrats, trade and professionals. All sponsorship and Registration money raised in the Summit, will be handed over to The Akshaya Patra Foundation for charitable purposes.
