I meet a lot of people in the Biopharmaceutical industry ( some very reputed manufacturers as well). I am amazed at their archaic practices in screening, charactrization, early stage development and QC measures practiced which is critical in this industry. Their general lack of clarity in the required workflows even for some very critical biomolecules is clearly evidant and a very scary prospect.

I now view the locally manufactured " cost effective alternatives" very suspeciously. These guys are happy to work the way they are becouse they cater to only Domestic (Indian) and Third World markets and are happy to be meeting the minimum requirements set by WHO.

We are a decade or two behind the quality standards adopted by Western manufacturers. When is the Indian Biopharma industry going to be globally competitive?

Archaic practices adopted. No clear guidelines in place for the industry to follow. India just follows the old guidelines set by West ( which is currently being renewed by them). Not familiar with recent tools and techniques adopted by industry in West.

Current quality of products offered in India is acceptable to developing markets-No one is complaining!!

Rather than taking moralistic or ethical stance on this issue, why does one not recognize the fact that science is all about inquisitiveness, invention and discovery. If life can be created by this, so be it. Kudos to the ones who dare to dream about it.
Forecasting is all hogwash. The accuracy is less than 50% ( Worse than flipping a coin). Forecasting is usually done under duress and sales people do it becouse they have to. Resultantly, they forecast every opportunity that comes to their mind...
