By 2010, India is expected to generate $5 billion in revenues from biotech. The sector will create more than one million jobs in India in the next five years. Top global companies now look at India as the partner of choice.

However the concept of “ bioentrepreneurship” is fairly new in India. Scientist in our country still follow the traditionalresearch culture, they have not completely moved out from their safe zone yet.

Although the need for academic excellence is understandable, but right now the need of the hour is to provide safe, affordable healthcare solutions that can be used to save millions of lives. This is the major work on the shoulders of the bioentrepreneurs today.
