patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahayan. Dr.B.R.Shetty
was born in an agricultural family in Kaup, India. A graduate in Pharmacology,
Dr.B.R.Shetty’s meteoric rise to the top is an awe inspiring testimony to what
hardwork, passion and dedication can achieve. Over three decades after its
inception, under Dr.B.R.Shetty’s dynamic leadership, NMC has flowered into a
multi-activity conglomerate encompassing a diverse spectrum of businesses like
Oil Field Supply and Oil Related Business, Healthcare, Financial Services &
Money Remittances, Hospitality etc. Dr.Shetty is today considered a pioneer in

range of healthcare services which cover the entire gamut of medical diagnosis and
treatment under a single umbrella. Today, the NMC Healthcare family consists of
six healthcare facilities in the UAE Dr. Shetty has acquired a hospital in
Alexandria, Egypt which operates under the name of Alexandria New Medical
Centre. Dr. B. R. Shetty’s clear vision and focus, indefatigable spirit and
unflagging enthusiasm, has made him an active partner in the progress of the
UAE. Dr. Shetty is committed to the cause of well being and health of its

It takes originality and a strong will for a woman to first
study brewing, and then to turn to a nascent industry when hurdles in the
brewery business prove insurmountable. Kiran
Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairman and Managing Director of Biocon, India's first
biotechnology company. Biocon, today a billion-dollar company and Asia's
largest biopharma concern, started in the garage of Mazumdar-Shaw's rented home
in Bangalore, with seed capital of Rs10,000 (around Rs4 lakh today). When she
set up what is now one of the top 20 biotechnology companies in the world,
banks wanted her father. Her vision for the
company has evolved from the goal of improving India's scientific record to the
dream of "a made-in-India novel drug". When she talks about Biocon's
plans to take insulins global and move from cancer care to cancer cure, her
enthusiasm seems almost childlike.
5th
Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit 2012 will also debate on crucial topics
of the healthcare industry on Brand India theme by the veterans of the
industry. The much awaited Event will be represented by many corporate tycoons
& overseas healthcare experts.
