The Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance has appointed industry veteran and ex-Abbott Healthcare Solutions head Sudarshan Jain as its new Secretary General from April 8. The appointment follows the demise of DG Shah late last month.
Jain has 40 years’ experience in healthcare sector with leadership positions in top Indian and multinational companies, an IPA note said.
For an industry faced with a range of price and regulatory challenges it remains to be seen if Jain will pick-up from where Shah left off or whether he will chart an entirely new course.
