This came in as an added celebration, while we were still basking in the glory of being awarded as the ‘Best Company of the Year 2018’. We remain focused in achieving our key goals and realizing our vision of serving humankind simultaneously. We appreciate your continued commitment and support to HiMedia and our growth with the trust and confidence of making this association mutually rewarding. Our pursuit to keep the interests of our readers alive makes us come up with insightful topics in every upcoming issue. The guest article in ‘Science Galaxy’ section of the current issue has been contributed by Dr. Sanjeev K. Gupta, Sr. General Manager and Head, Advanced Biotech Lab (R&D-Biosimilar), Ipca Laboratories Ltd., wherein he addresses how the shortfalls of first generation biologics are dealt with by waves of next generation bio-therapy through focus on various other disciplines. Dr. Gupta has developed and contributed for over twelve recombinant molecules till date, of which, eight Biosimilar products have already been launched in the Indian market and rest are in developmental or clinical phase. While we keep moving and growing our businesses, it also feels humbling when we are able to be conducive in attempts by the younger generation to achieve excellence, particularly in the fields of science and technology. Sponsoring the renovation of Institute of Chemical Technology’s (ICT) food engineering and technology department laboratory was one such initiative by HiMedia since it is our belief that a small step has the ability to bring in transformational changes to the future of biosciences. Additional to the above mentioned, we also bring to the fore few interesting topics from team HiMedia along with CSR and other recent news. On behalf of my entire team, I thank you for your interest and welcome feedbacks. 1 2 4 6 7 9 10 12 13 15 16 19 20 Message from CEO The Science Galaxy Technology Advances in.....
