My vision when founding Biocon was to curb the brain drain and create rewarding opportunities within India.
Today, that vision is realized as we have established a global brand lauded for its research prowess, world-class manufacturing, and affordable life-saving medicines. Biocon is more than just a workplace; it’s a community that grows, dreams, and triumphs together. Let us renew our pledge to continue making a global health impact, touch lives, and forge a healthier planet,” concluded Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw.
