As India struggles to cope with the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus shifts from discovering what works to delivering what works.

From the challenges of procuring active ingredients and manufacturing equipment from across the globe, to scaling up the process in line with regulatory compliances and then tracking the products thought the supply chain as they move from factory gate to patient, pharma companies are ramping up their operational processes.
