The CMO Leadership Awards are based on industry leading research conducted by Nice Insight
. Nice insights surveys over 11,000 industry executives – buyers of outsourced services annually, to determine perception and awareness scores of CMOs for five different attributes (i.e. innovation, productivity, quality, regulatory, and reliability). The four categories in which the pharma solution division has won are:
Reliability for Big Pharma
Reliability for Mid-Size and Specialty Pharma
Regulatory for Mid-Size and Specialty Pharma
Quality for Emerging Pharma
Companies achieving top 20 percentile perception scores across these five attributes are recognised for their achievement.
For 2015, the research respondents were broken in to five categories; Big Pharma (BP), Mid-Size and Specialty Pharma (MP), Emerging Pharma (EP), Biotech (BT) and Emerging Biotech (EBT). The top 10 per cent in each of these above categories were chosen as winners of CMO leadership awards. Unlike other industry awards, which are given based on a subjective voting or nomination process, the only votes that count towards the CRO/CMO Leadership Awards are those of the pharma and biopharmaceutical companies using CRO/CMO services. The research respondents of all categories voted Piramal Enterprises’ Pharma Solution division to be amongst the top 10 per cent in these categories.
Vivek Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, Piramal Pharma Solutions said, “We are delighted to receive this prestigious award and to be recognised in multiple areas and categories. The award serves as a validation of our efforts to keep the customer as the focal point, while emphasising on project ownership, time delivery and commitment towards quality. This recognition from our clients will further motivate our team as we drive towards becoming the ‘partner of choice’. Receiving these awards also showcase our company values of entrepreneurship, expertise and trusteeship.”
