The biotechnology industry in India has been on a steep rise in the recent past and has evolved to be among the most vibrant industries in the country. They have been expanding due to supports from the government, growing investments, and a strong and talented workforce. One of the major reasons for this growth is the support from the government through different programs that fund new companies as well as research organizations. Besides, the Make in India initiative and the focus on a self-reliant healthcare sector have also contributed towards the growth of the biotech sector. Biotechnology in India is a broad concept that includes biopharmaceuticals, bio services, bio agriculture, bio industry and bioinformatics. Of these, the biopharmaceuticals are most popular and take a lion’s share of the market. This segment’s expansion is driven by the need for vaccines, biosimilars, and new drugs in the marketplace. The pandemic was especially useful in highlighting the role of biotechnology in responding to various public health issues, therefore pushing for quicker development and manufacturing. Furthermore, India has a strong pool of talent in scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs who actively contribute to the biotech industry in the country. This makes the country’s manufacturing cost more affordable and its regulatory policies friendlier to global biotech investments. Foreign investments and strategic partnerships are also important in this process of the sector’s development. Multinational linkages have enabled technology acquisition, use of development products, and opportunities to penetrate international markets. For example, joint ventures between the Indian biotech firms and other international pharmaceutical companies have resulted in the advancement and marketing of state-of-the-art products.
