From pharmaceutical manufacturing to healthcare services to medical devices and even related new age areas like ITES and financing all of these areas need to develop with increases in income levels, population, and life expectancy. Given the need for investment and managerial talent in this promising area, GIM chose to create a specialised programme that focuses on making available a tailored management cadre to the sector.
