‘India's #biotech boom! From $10B in 2014 to over $130B today, #biotechnology sector is skyrocketing. Projections show it reaching $300B by 2030. #India’
“India is not only a leader in biotechnology but is now at the centre of a global biotech boom, which will foster innovation, create jobs, and strengthen environmental commitments,” said Dr. Jitendra Singh. He emphasised the pivotal role of biotechnology in India’s future, particularly as the country continues to embrace innovation, technology-based interventions and startups.“PM Modi’s vision has consistently prioritised innovation and technological advancement, driving India’s evolution into a global biotechnology powerhouse,” said Dr. Singh. India currently accounts for 60 percent of global vaccine production and is home to the second-largest number of USFDA-approved manufacturing plants outside the US.
Dr. Singh further compared the ongoing “bio-revolution” in India to the IT revolution driven by the West, highlighting that the country’s rich natural and biodiversity resources are key to its biotechnology success. He also praised the efforts of Indian startups leveraging biotechnology to create innovative solutions such as non-human milk and other sustainable products.
