Some of the key sectors of the Indian pharmaceutical business include generic drugs, over-the-counter medicines, bulk meds, vaccines, & manufacturing bio pharmaceuticals Industry, and biologics.  As pharma industry emerge from two years of intensive firefighting, this fresh focus on operational strategy couldn’t come at a better time.
