The US move to impose a 100% tariff on imported branded medicines is a challenge, but also an opportunity. In my latest The Economic Times article, I share how this shift could strengthen India’s manufacturing backbone, accelerate self-reliance, and push innovation in biologics, biosimilars, and advanced drug delivery systems.

Requesting 4 Candid Feedback : 💊 The Business of Conferences (India’s total CME market at ≈ $1.6 billion (~₹13,280 crore) in Indian – Boon, Bane, or Both? Dark Currency to White ? Every year, the Indian pharmaceutical industry spends crores of rupees sponsoring, organising, and attending high-profile doctor conferences — from ANCIPS, MediConclave, APICON, AIOC, PEDICON, IOACON, FOGSI Annual Conference, to CardioCon, DermaCon, and many more. What Really Happens at These Conferences? For Doctors 🩺 . Barring a few committed academicians who deliver lectures, present research papers, and share genuine scientific updates with slides, a large portion of attendees treat the event as… well… a networking getaway. . For many, it’s about meeting peers, exploring the exhibition stalls, and yes, enjoying the gala dinners, wines & cultural nights. . In between sessions, there’s often a mix of catching up with old friends and meeting new company representatives. For Senior Pharma Managers 👔 . Zonal, Regional, and National Heads attend to ensure their company’s visibility is maximised. . They meet key doctors, negotiate future business opportunities, and build relationships over coffee tables or banquet dinners. . Many also supervise the execution of sponsorship commitments — from ensuring the brand logo is visible on banners, to making sure the sponsored symposium runs as planned. For MRs, ASMs, and RSMs 🚶♂️ . Medical Representatives (MRs) usually manage stall activity, greet doctors, and distribute literature or samples. . Area Sales Managers (ASMs) coordinate the flow of visiting doctors, handle last-minute arrangements, and act as a bridge between field teams and the head office. . Regional Sales Managers (RSMs) often focus on higher-value relationship building — escorting key opinion leaders (KOLs) to sponsored events, facilitating introductions, and ensuring smooth logistics for VIP doctors. Pros of Conferences ✅ . Knowledge Sharing: Platform for genuine academic exchange (when it happens sincerely). . Relationship Building: Helps pharma teams strengthen trust with key doctors. . Brand Visibility: Strategic placements and sponsorships enhance recall. Networking: Facilitates doctor-to-doctor and doctor-to-pharma connections. Cons of Conferences ❌ . High Cost, Questionable ROI: Sponsorships run into lakhs or crores, but measurable returns are often vague. . Distraction from Core Purpose: Entertainment sometimes overshadows academic goals. . Overcrowded Branding: With dozens of companies vying for attention, differentiation is tough. . Fatigue Factor: Doctors & pharma teams attend multiple such events a year, reducing the novelty. The Bigger Question 🤔 💬 I’d love to hear from doctors, MRs, managers, and conference organisers — What’s your take on the real value of these conferences? #IndianPharma #PharmaMarketing #MedicalConferences #ANCIPS #APICON #FOGSI #CardioCon #Dermacon #PharmaIndustry #DoctorEngagement #PharmaSales #HealthcareMarketing
