Pharma Leadership and Innovation Conclave 2025

India's pharma industry is at a critical inflection point. Our traditional strengths, cost-effective manufacturing and reverse engineering, are no longer enough to maintain a competitive advantage in an increasingly complex and volatile marketplace.

Today’s challenges—increasing global competition, heightened regulatory scrutiny, stringent IP regulations, narrowing profit margins, price controls, and the push for sustainability—need tough decisions and forward-thinking approaches.

This, in turn, calls for leaders who can think differently to navigate challenges, foster collaboration, inspire innovation to seize new growth opportunities.

Therefore, Express Pharma is launching its Pharma Leadership and Innovation Conclave 2025, a brand-new platform to empower pharma leaders, across organisations and functions, with the vision and tools needed to drive meaningful change.

It aims to propel India Pharma Inc into its next phase of leadership through conversations and ideas that can create solutions that set new benchmarks for the industry.

Leadership for the next leap

Under the theme, “Leadership for the next leap”, the The inaugural edition, to be held in Mumbai, on 21st February, 2025, will convene the pharma industry's leaders to forge strategies that balance innovation with responsibility, growth with sustainability, and profit with purpose.

Join us for this event to unlock the industry's true potential and steer it towards global leadership.
