Success stories: Bharat Biotech's contributions to Make in India
Bharat Biotech's indigenous vaccines, including COVAXIN®, have not only played a vital role in the country's fight against COVID-19 but have also been exported to several countries, demonstrating India's manufacturing prowess.
In addition to vaccines, Bharat Biotech has made significant contributions to the development of therapeutic products and biotech-based solutions for various infectious and neglected diseases. These achievements have not only improved healthcare outcomes but have also fostered job creation, skill development, and economic growth.
How Make in India and biotech will shape India's growth
Looking ahead, both, ‘Make in India' and the biotech industry will continue to shape India's growth trajectory. The government's continued support for innovation, research, and manufacturing in the biotech sector, coupled with the industry's commitment to excellence, will pave the way for transformative advancements.
Bharat Biotech, with its strong R&D pipeline, is actively pursuing the development of future vaccines for malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, and others, after delivering 9 billion doses of indigenous vaccines in over 125 countries over the last two decades. The company's expansion plans, international collaborations, and path-breaking research initiatives will further strengthen India's position as a global leader in biotechnology and manufacturing.
