Talk Abstract

"Anti-infectives is one of the largest therapeutic segment in India, and antibiotic consumption is the highest among all the countries. It is growing at a fast pace in the country. At the same time, India is also struggling with resistance problems due to multiple reasons. There is an increasingly urgent need for new antibiotics. Keeping in view the challenges unique to India, my talk focused on addressing the question - Is India a viable market for the new antibiotics?," Mr. Anmol Aggarwal, Lead, Strategy, Venus Medicine Research Centre.
