Biotech Drugs

The shift towards biotech-derived products represents a significant therapeutic shift, according to Evaluate Pharma. Evaluate also forecasts that over 50 percent of the top 100 drugs in 2014 will be biotech medications, which marks a significant shift from 28 percent in 2008 and 11 percent in 2000. It explains why Big Pharma has been pursuing biotech relentlessly.

India has nearly four times the number of women CEOs as the US. A recent survey by EMA Partners International revealed that around 11% of Indian publicly held companies have women CEOs. However, it must also be considered that many of these leaders are from the families of the promoters. The true test of success will be when women are allowed to break the glass ceiling and rise up from the ranks into the boardroom.
