Speaking on behalf of IML, Mr. Mahendra Bajpai, Hon. Director IML said, “We are very happy that a professional of a high caliber is joining us to lead the organisation.

We are a premier MedLegal company and intend to expand quickly, both in our offerings and extending our foot-print globally.”

I intend to launch more products and services for hospitals as well. Shortly, we will also extend our portfolio to the international market.”

Mr. Ravindra Mangal, Managing Director said, “Mr. Sunder Rajan in the past has led a Wolters Kluwer company, in open access publishing, in medical research to become one of the largest in the world.
