In the pursuit of India 2029—a vision encompassing prosperity, progress, and inclusivity—the trajectory of the nation’s pharmaceutical and healthcare sector in the next five years holds profound significance. This period not only has implications for India but also resonates on the global pharmaceutical stage—with our status as the ‘pharmacy of the world’. Our steps forward, therefore, must be taken with the great responsibility we bear.
