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

Mr. Saha also spoke about the wonderful opportunities available at Biocon to start our career. Recruiting students and working professionals for internships and placements is an important part of the company’s culture. At Biocon, interns are generally assigned real time projects to reap tangible benefits from the whole exercise. Interns get projects/assignments in all key business units in Biocon covering R&D, Operations, Quality, Marketing and support functions like HR & Finance. Though the company is primarily looking for graduates with a degree in bio-technology/pharmacy or professionals having relevant work experience, the management is always ready to welcome individuals who can be a cultural fit into Biocon, work efficiently in teams and display good inter-personal skills. Statistics at Biocon indicate that almost 8 % of their hires are interns-converts which means there is a great opportunity to grab a PPO (Pre Placement offer) after the internship period.

In his vote of thanks for Mr. Amitava Saha, Mr.Sumant Bakshi, (Career management Advisor, MYRA)) rightly said, “If I were to start my career all over again, Biocon would be the company to join.” There are no two ways about that. Mr. Saha mentioned in his speech about certain employees having stayed at the organization for more than 30 years. This speaks volumes about Biocon as an organization that has always been growing with its employees. Students from the MYRA School of Business who have applied for internships and placements would indeed benefit from the lucrative opportunities available at Biocon.
