INDIAN PHARMA MAKES AN INROAD INTO JAPAN

The collaboration between Japanese firms and the Indian Pharma industry will eventually provide an opportunity for Indian companies to tap into global research networks and to gain access to new technologies, as well as a platform for big Pharma to leverage Indian scientific talent. However, Indian companies have to remember while approaching the market that the Japanese are fastidious when it comes to safety and quality.
