How will
Indian companies fare in the dynamic environment?
-
“People
of Indian work for leading Multinational Companies
for Innovations in Medical Technology in their R & D
operations in India. These scientists and Engineers
are doing “world class work”.
-
Though
they work for multinationals, their talents are
available in India.
-
In
California, the leaderships and R & D manpower of
the Medical Device Companies comprise of Indian
Talent in a big way. People of Indian Origin are
rare resource and creators of Intellectual Property
(IP) for their Companies.
-
Based on
the capability of India for Innovations and ability
to create value for the day-to-day requirements
(like T. B. Diagnostics), it is possible to find
such solutions right in India and for this market is
not limited to India, (but could be extended to)
Africa, Latin America, Middle East etc.
-
Such
opportunities are far bigger and far more immediate
and hence it is better for Indian Companies to look
at them rather than waiting for Government of India
to change this rule or that rule.
-
We need
to work with Global minds. We need to have more
“Tata Nano's coming out from the Medical Device
Business.
-
We see
success coming only from Innovative Companies,
focused on manufacturing.
-
Like
“Taiwan” and “Korea” has done in Electronics, Indian
Companies can do for medical device market globally
and create far more value and far more market
capitalization than what we have seen till today.
-
There is
tremendous value in creating Intellectual Property
which in the long run would serve India very well.

Overview :
Regulatory, Market and Cost Pressures are transforming
the global medical device industry. Impending changes
in American healthcare payments systems, accentuate
the pressures in the boardrooms at any company who is
dependent on American revenues. At the same time the
demands of the next “2 billion people” beyond the
developed countries are an opportunity and a
challenge. How will Indian companies fare in the
dynamic environment?
What
are the opportunities for medical device engineers in
India to collaborate with or compete with their
Western brethren?
“Trends & Challenges
in Global Medical Device Business and India’s Changing
Role”
Elaborating on the
above, Mr Gunjan Bagla explained the following :
-
Got
motivated to know more and understand the current
scenario on “Innovations In Indian Medical Device
Industry ” after his first visit to Sree Chitra
Tirunal Institute Of Medical Sciences about 7 years
back.
-
Indian Companies V/s Indian Engineers : are not
necessarily same. “People of Indian work for leading
Multinational Companies for Innovations in Medical
Technology in their R & D operations in India. These
scientists and Engineers are doing “world class
work”. Though they work for multinationals, their
talents are available in India. These people are not
going to work for those companies for their entire
lives. Compared to 20 years ago, India now has
access to such talents.
