Our new M Lab is at our site in Peenya at Bangalore, where we had a small laboratory earlier for customer support. It’s now expanded manifolds to bring it in line with the international standards. M Lab is essentially a customer support laboratory where we bring in customers in order to train them on latest technologies in biopharma manufacturing. Our scientists at M Lab have previously worked in these industries and have an understanding of the challenges faced by the industry. The M Lab is an offering of the Life Science business to the industry we support. The training is not charged and our commitment to our customers is a long term association for sustainable growth.
