Hi Bharathan,
Clinical Research Industry has grown around the world at an unparalleled rate in the past few years. India is home to more than one billion people, including 30 million with cardiovascular diseases, 25 million with type-2 diabetes, and 10 million with major psychiatric disorders. India's pharmaceutical market is the second largest in Asia, growing by more than 9% annually. The Indian pharmaceutical industry is estimated at US$ 5.40 billion and projected to grow up to US$ 7.40 billion. India has become a signatory to TRIPS. Consequently, a new patent law has come into effect from January 2005. The new keyword for the pharmaceutical industry is innovation and to introduce new drugs, clinical trials are mandatory. They are to be conducted as per ICH GCP norms. Data from clinical study in India have been successfully filled with international regulatory agencies. India is increasingly being recognized as a hub for global clinical trials. Having said this, we acknowledge the fact that a data manager plays a crucial role. Without him the sanctity of the research does not exist, hence there are ample growth opportunities. Following are names of few Pharmaceutical Companies and CROs Operating in India: Asian Clinical Trials, Astra Zeneca, Dr Reddy's Lab, Eli Lilly & Co, Reliance Crs, Pfizer etc.
Hope this helps. All the best.
