Pharma Sector in any country is a relatively stable sector. As with every stable sector, the growth slows down a little after a long time. The same thing has happened with the Indian Pharma Sector in the last few years. Growth was comparatively lower than was expected. A want of organized skilled workforce has led to the bankruptcy of the industry.
In recent times, the pharma industry is gaining its glory. With the government introducing new schemes, the pharma sector is set to develop at a rapid pace. But the challenges lying ahead are many. One such arena is the lack of updated skill sets among the workers working in the Industry.
The existing skill sets in the workers are outdated. Some of them update knowledge and keep abreast of the progressing trends. That is why there are a few who could be termed as experts and it is they who serve the industry.
While this should not go on in an important sector like the pharma sector, it requires a major overhaul so that the whole medical industry gets a boost in becoming in the same page with its foreign counterparts.
