Pharmaleaders to Host “Incredible Pharmaleaders 2013, Billion Dreams, Pushing India’s Growth Agenda

6^th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Pharmaleaders Business Leadership Awards 2013 to focus on Indian Healthcare Sector’s Growth Agenda & Policy Reforms

Wednesday,30^th December 2013, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

: Indian Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Industry’s most awaited & eagerly awaited annual pharma leadership event, the sixth annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Pharmaleaders’Business Leadership Awards 2013 ( www.pharmaleaders2013.com )  is set to be host in Mumbai, India, at Hotel Hilton Mumbai International Airport on 27^th December 2013 under the theme Incredible Pharmaleaders, Billion Dreams – Pushing India’s Growth Agenda by Asia;s biggest & most analytical news media Pharmaleadrs ( www.pharmaleaders.tv ). Widely perceived by the industry’s experts, the historic sixth edition of the summit will address & deliberate on the most compelling issues the industry is confronting over the last one year by the Industry veterans, Policy Makers, Pharma Academia, Politicians & leading medical experts.

The platform is expected to raise the key questions rather the issues that will grapple the Indian pharma companies as to what are the drivers of the Indian pharmaceutical industry in an era  where Healthcare in india is most neglected as the study reveals 28 percent of the country's population accounts for 31% of all doctors in the country with Delhi leading  the chart with 40,500 doctors alone for a population of 1.6 crore and Haryana has the highest density of 2.3 doctors per 1,000 population.But this does not mean that residents from these states are healthier, that distinction goes to Kerala, which ironically has the lowest doctor density of 1 per thousand amongst the 120 cities. It is equally important that as the industry shrinks to fit a more challenging competitive set, hence the industry  must steer their own way through an obstacle course of opposites that we characterize as "growing to be small." Today, it's all about expanding the business while avoiding bloat, the traditional by-product of success: staying externally focused; eliminating internal barriers to faster decision-making; collaborating with others to defray risks; getting close to the customer, who often wears many hats; and creating dominant therapy positions in multiple niche markets that, when combined, produce equivalent blockbuster results, at lower fixed costs and less hassle.

Announcing the date & theme of the Pharmaleaders’s 6^th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Business Leadership Awards 2013, Satya Brahma, Chairman & Editor-In-Chief of Pharmaleaders said “ While the industry today is at the loggerheads with the Government & various statutory authorities including the regulators such as Drug Administration, market watchdog SEBI & host of other organizations, there is a lack of meaningful dialogue & interaction between the Industry & the Government leading to the bigger uncertainty of the overseas players coming to India with the basket of products & investments due to a weak law & virtual policy paralysis. The issue of Pricing is the biggest factor leading to the discontentment of te Pharma Companies. The unavailability of medicines seen across the country is the major challenge as well.The declining research & drug discovery, Clinical trials are seen as major deterrents”. The Pharmaleaders platform therefore attempts to build the gap of trust deficit & infuse the sense of confidence of the country’s drug makers.

The 6^th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Pharmaleaders Business Leadership Awards will also confer the prestigious annual awards to the rising healthcare leaders & top performing companies.  

Corruption is the biggest Challenge to India’s Growth Story - His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Corruption is the biggest Challenge to India’s Growth Story - His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Friday,23^rd August 2013 : In what could be termed as the biggest message to the business community of 250 odd business tycoons from india & middle east who had gathered at Indo-Arab Chamber of Commerce (IACC)’s Connecting SME’S to the Middle East mainly Investors and entrepreneurs from 23 Arab states planning to build an exclusive investment region near Bangalore with world class facilities for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in diverse sectors of the economy, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said “ What the Nation needs at this point is the elimination of corruption from the top to button which has spread as a disease to the country & the solution lies in cleansing the system with good governance & able administrators” in an exclusive interview to the editorial Chairman Satya Brahma of Network 7 Media Group which runs Asia’s biggest Media Property like Indian Affairs, Breakfastnews, Pharmaleaders, Odisha Affairs & a host of other trade & digital media properties.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is known as a great humanitarian leader, spiritual teacher and ambassador of peace. His vision of a stress-free, violence-free society has united millions of people the world over through service projects and the courses of The Art of Living. The message of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in the sideline of the meet assumes greater significance in view of the current scams the country is grappling leading to policy paralysis.

Investors and entrepreneurs from 23 Arab states plan to build an exclusive investment region near Bangalore with world class facilities for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in diverse sectors of the economy."We plan to build an Arab Investment Region (AIR) in about 400 acres of land near National Highway seven (NH7) and closer to the Bangalore international airport at Devanahalli as investors and entrepreneurs from Arab states are keen to set up MSMEs for exports," Indo-Arab Chamber of Commerce (IACC) chairman S. Krishna Kumar said Friday on the margins of a trade meet here.

The IACC will soon approach the Karnataka government for regulatory approvals to build the region with an integrated township and an ecosystem that will also facilitate local investors to set up MSMEs that will export primarily to Arab states."If the state government is unable to provide land for the region, we will purchase it (land) from private parties at market rate and request the government to provide connectivity, power, water and other facilities to ensure faster turnaround of products for exports," Kumar, who was a former central minister, said.

Earlier, about 40 delegates from the Arab states, participating in the day-long conference on 'Transcending Arabian Borders' (TAB 2013), organised by the IACC, expressed willingness to invest in the region."The Arab investors and entrepreneurs are interested in setting up MSMEs, which ill cater to their respective states in diverse sectors spanning information and communication technology (ICT), biotechnology, agriculture, civil engineering, pharma, power, manufacturing and food-processing," Kumar asserted.Though there is no dearth of funds in the petro-rich Arab states, absence of agro-climatic conditions, lack of natural resources, shortage of skilled manpower and want of domain expertise in the new sectors of the economy have put paid to their efforts to become self-sufficient in foodgrains production, manufacturing and services."Over the years, India has been participating in the economic development of the Arab world by supplying manpower, increasing trade and making a breakthrough in construction and project exports," IACC executive director Asif Iqbal said.

MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region director general Shahran Bin Ahmed said Al Bariz Trading firm from Abu Dhabi would set up a joint venture with the Imen Agro Production Agency to grow food crops in India for consumption in the Arab world."As we do not have agriculture production on the scale it is here (India), we are entering into a tie-up with Imen Agro to cultivate food products under captive farming and develop nurseries that can be replanted in our country to grow similar crops in controlled weather conditions," Ahmed told IANS at the conference.With offices in Dubai and Muscat in Oman, the IACC has about 330 members, including 130 from Arab states, who jointly generate about Rs.100 crore trade comprising merchandise, engineering goods and services.The participating Arab and African states include Bahrain, Brunei, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and UAE."Our Indian members and entrepreneurs, especially in the MSME sector can also explore investing in the Arab world through the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council), as the sector plays a vital role in improving the quality of life in both societies," Iqbal observed.Union Minister of State for SMEs K.H. Muniyappa inaugurated the conference.
