Kiran Mazumdar Shaw
56, Chairman & MD, Biocon
Once again in the BT Power List. Does it still enthuse you?
Yes, very much.
Your definition of power has it changed over the years?
It has gone from a feeling of recognition to a sense of an important national responsibility.
New lessons learnt in 2009.
The absence of even the semblance of National Health System in India, which compelled me to work with Dr Devi Shetty to develop the first private sector micro-health insurance system.
New frontiers conquered in 2009.
Backed a scientist-entrepreneur in the US to develop next-generation mono-clonal antibodies for cancer and promoted a company IATRICa to pursue this innovation.
What next?
To transform Biocon into an innovative and global biopharma giant. - Rahul Sachitanand
