India is ranked in the top 10 biotech destinations in the world and is one of the fastest growing knowledge-based sectors in India today. According to an industry survey, the biotechnology industry in India grew by 18% during 2008-09, earning revenues of $2.67 billion (Association of Biotech Led Enterprises, 2009). This compares to U.S. growth of 10% in the same period.
In 2008-2009, the biopharma segment accounted for 65% of India’s biotech industry’s revenues. Bioservices ranked second with 31%.
With such growth, the challenge for Indian biotech companies is to staff with proven talent. That’s where Oryx-India comes in.
