Next Big Leap for Indian Pharma | Innovation & Growth

Indian Pharmaceutical Industry: Strength and Future

The Indian pharma sector, often hailed as the “Pharmacy of the World”, has achieved global recognition for supplying affordable and high-quality generic drugs. However, the industry is now preparing for its next big leap—transitioning from a generics-driven model to one focused on innovation, advanced therapies, and digital transformation.

A major focus area is strengthening domestic research and development, supported by increased investments, global partnerships, and government initiatives like boosting self-reliance in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and reducing dependency on imports. Digital technologies such as AI and machine learning are transforming the industry with applications in drug research, clinical trials, and patient-centered healthcare delivery.

Enhance regulatory compliance and build a system that balances affordability with world-class innovation. The pharmaceutical industry is well-positioned for redefining its worldwide role in next-generation healthcare solutions. At SGT University, the Faculty of Pharmacy empowers students with advanced knowledge in drug development, research, and digital healthcare.
