Key Highlights:
[1] India pharma must move from volume to value, driven by R&D, technology, strong infrastructure, and a growth mindset.
[2] Patient-first thinking is non-negotiable. Every medicine must be safe, effective, and accessible.
[3] Safety is the common thread, be it of the product, the patient, or the industry itself.
