MYRA - Corporate ConneXion Talk by Amitava Saha, HR Head, Biocon

“I faced a number of challenges whilst I built Biocon. Initially, I had credibility challenges where I couldn't get banks to fund me; I couldn't recruit people to work for a woman boss. Even in the businesses where I had to procure raw materials, they didn't want to deal with women”, said by one of the most powerful women in the world, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw describing the toil and sweat behind creating a bio-pharmaceutical giant, Biocon. After 37 years of its inception, Biocon is India's largest and fully-integrated, innovation led bio-pharmaceutical company largely due to the vision and efforts of its founder, Mrs Shaw. We were very privileged to have the HR head of Biocon, Mr. Amitava Saha who introduced us to the company, the transition made by the company from enzymes to bio-pharmaceuticals and valuable information on careers in the biotechnology industry. This session was held on 16th October 2015 in the Athena Auditorium at the MYRA School of Business, Mysore.

‘Forward looking business strategies in the current context of disruptive innovations’ by Mr. Arijit Sen, Global Head Strategy & Market Intelligence (Sr VP), Swiss Singapore Overseas Ent - An ABG Company

If there’s one thing that all Indian kids from the late 80’s and the early 90’s can most easily relate to, it is how technology has transformed their lives and even outpaced their own growing up with time. From the days of having no choice beyond Doordarshan to the days of the coloured cable TV and now fast-forwarding to a time when about everything is getting streamed online; or from having that one landline phone in the family (or sometimes in the neighbourhood) to seeing even the ‘average Joes’ own mobile phones equipped with video calls, technology is making product and service life cycles shorter by the day.
