Keynote address: Transforming pharma with disruptive technologies
Shaunak Dave, CEO, OptelAsia gave a rousing keynote address on the first day of Pharma CXO Summit 2019 which centred on the potential of Indian pharma industry. Pointing out that India Pharma Inc has come a long way to become the Pharmacy of the World, he highlighted that its future progress would be dependent on the shift from volume to value.
Informing that management guru Michael Porter gave the concept of ‘Value Chain’ in 1985 and brought three important strategies: cost leadership, differentiation and focus, he opined that India too needs to adopt these strategies. He said, “India is great with production (volume) but this is the lowest value chain. We will have to focus on innovation, branding and unique way of new marketing to reach to consumers! ”
He further said that to retain our leadership in global generics business, cost leadership strategy is applicable. And to increase product value, we must develop an innovative mind set. Disruptive technologies can help attain both!
