PharmaLytica 2017 is being held at a time of vital transformation for the pharma sector. Currently, the National Pharma Policy is being drafted by the Government to ensure, much like its far-sighted ‘Pharma Vision 2020’ campaign, that India emerges as a true global leader in drug manufacturing. Issues of affordability and availability of medicines through the Drug Price Control Order & the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority are being aggressively addressed, along with a reduction of approval time for new facilities, to boost investments. Besides, the pharmaceutical industry is under continuous pressure to discover and develop new drugs to combat complex diseases, and ramp up R&D, innovative technologies, manufacturing & analytical capabilities while being competitive and compliant. PharmaLytica 2017 will help the pharmaceutical community network, engage in significant levels of market intelligence and voice the combined opinion on these trending subjects.

Speaking on the announcement of the 4^th edition of PharmaLytica, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said, “We are delighted to announce the 4th edition of PharmaLytica at Hyderabad. The event gives us an opportunity to reach out to a global audience by showcasing products, and solutions to the decision makers in the industry. With India likely to be placed among the top 3 pharmaceutical markets by incremental growth, and 6th largest market globally in absolute size by 2020, it has truly adhered to the 'Make in India' proposition. But now, the stage could well be set for 'Design, Develop and Make in India’. Comprehensive industry platforms like PharmaLytica act as catalysts, transforming India to an end-to-end, research & innovation-driven biotech manufacturer, with an increasing predisposition towards the analytical technology domain.

He further added, “The Telangana government’s plans of setting up a Medical Devices Park and a Pharma City has recently been announced and will complement the existing well-settled pharma industry in Hyderabad. PharmaLytica intends to add even greater value to this ecosystem, and become one of the primary market places for products and services in the city, along the entire value chain in niche segments within the Pharma industry such as Analytical Technology, Laboratory Equipments, Machinery and Packaging.”
