The evolving science in the Biotech sector is leading to a demand for high-skilled jobs in India. However, a wide gap currently exists between the quality of human capital available and the needs of the industry. Through Biocon Academy we aim to address this talent deficit by developing Industry ready human capital for the Biopharma sector and enable global competitiveness of the sector.

If India is to emerge as a Bioeconomy by 2025, we will need to ensure that we have the right quality of talent in the country. The Biotech graduates in India need to be trained effectively to make them industry ready where they can partake in the journey of transforming India through the power of biotech.
