About the Event

With India’s pharma sector at a pivotal juncture, the focus must now shift to sustainable leadership, impactful innovation, and strategic global collaborations. As regulatory frameworks tighten, competitive dynamics shift, and healthcare needs become more complex, Indian pharma must chart a strategic course toward global excellence.

Therefore, Express Pharma intends to organise pharma summits at key pharma hubs across the country. The aim is to set the course for the next decade of growth, ensuring India Pharma Inc’s continued dominance in the international market. Under the overarching theme 'Pathways for global excellence' this year’s Pharma Summits will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators to chart India Pharma Inc’s trajectory and transformation into a high-value, research-driven, and globally competitive powerhouse. They will highlight the industry’s need to evolve beyond cost-competitiveness to focus on quality, innovation, compliance, and supply chain resilience. Experts will also discuss and deliberate on R&D strategies, next-gen manufacturing, regulatory harmonisation, and sustainable practices to elevate India’s standing in global healthcare markets. Some of the key locations identified for this year’s summit are Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Bengaluru, Visakhapatnam and Indore. Read more
