| MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, MR. RANJIT SHAHANI, OPPI |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Academia and Industry are like two sides of the same coin. They cannot exist and thrive in isolation. For this to be of value, there has to be a synergy between the two sides.I am happy to learn about the initiative taken by National Science and Technology Management Information System (NSTMIS) a division of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, to bring about a Academia / Industry linkage in Pharmaceutical sector. Organisation of Pharmaceutical Producers of India (OPPI) which is a premier industry association of research based international and large Indian Companies has already initiated steps for industry I academia linkages in the form of a Research Report on “Corporate Social Responsibility of Pharmaceutical Companies in India” prepared in collaboration with S.P. Jam Institute of Management & Research. We have also commenced a “Healthcare and Pharmaceutical — Elective” course for MBA students at Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, a premier management institute in Asia. Several such initiatives are at conceptual stage. With Intellectual Property Rights (lPRs) regime now in place, innovation and research are going to be key strategic drivers for the growth of India’s knowledge economy. Academia which is a fertile ground for such creative and innovative minds, can play a significant role with the Industry to realise the full potential of this great opportunity. I fully support your efforts to develop a National Database and forge academia industry partnership all over the country and across industries and send my best wishes for its success. |

The Journey of mind to market involve many challenging intermediate steps. Whereas in our academic institutions, where minds are mentored, individual enterprises are engaged in competing globally in the market place for both share and accruable income. The conversions of knowledge into know-how, know-how into show-how, show-how into do-now into use-how call for mutually gainful partnership among various tiers of academy and industrial groups. The development of an effective mind to market chain is all about the building a powerful knowledge platform. In the emerging global knowledge economy, Nations like India with a tradition for distancing knowledge from wealth creation, require new models to link the knowledge infrastructure with that of wealth creation. This is best achieved by designing and development of an innovation infrastructure based on Public-Private- Partnership. Therefore, there is now a call on both public and private bodies to mount a viable innovation infrastructure, which will meet the growth aspirations of this great Nation.
