INDIAN SCENARIO

INDIA

CONSTRAINS IN TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGIES

• Lack of interactions at the initial stages of technology processdevelopment.

• Market need & techno-economic feasibility not conductedseriously

• Lack of funds/facilities at inventor level to upscale bench levelprocesses

• Entrepreneurs – do not take risks with unproven/untriedtechnologies.

• Procedural delays in various approvals.

INDIA

BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTH (INFECTIOUS DISEASES)

FOUR DISTINCT ROUTES:

•Diversification from chemical manufacturing to use of

Biotechnological tools/tie up with MNC.

•Start up on indigenous production of first generation

recombinant therapeutics/vaccines.

•Investing profits in discoveries (R&D set up).

•Utilising / grafting biology onto IT – Bioinformatics & genomic

companies.

INDIA

OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIAN PHARMA

A) Global Partners Tie Up With Indian Pharma

- Low cost of innovation in India

- Chemical capabilities – Cheap & World class

- Drug discovery: 80-90% cheaper in India

- Alliance of upstream & down stream activities.

B) Positioning to partners to enter American & European markets.

INDIA

BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR HEALTH (INFECTIOUS DISEASES)

SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS:

•Complicated regulatory system.

•Uncertainty about Intellectual property protection

•Slow pace of integration between academic and pharma companies.

INDIA

TO OVERCOME BARRIERS

•Government – Environment for innovation & entrepreneurship

•Strong patent protection

•Predictable regulatory mechanism(s).

•Create more business friendly environment.

� Several lessons have been learnt.

� Great opportunities for public/private partnership.More successes with mid level and start uppharmaceuticals companies.

� Need to create business friendly environment.

� Indian industry is looking out for global partnersfor joint innovation research.
