In June 2025, @Biocon_FDN, in partnership with @BeSTCluster and @NCBS_Bangalore, launched BioWISE (Bio Women in STEM Empowered)—an initiative to expand access, participation and retention of women from Tier 2 and 3 institutions across Karnataka in the life sciences.
Today, that vision is translating into on-ground impact.
On April 2, 2026, the first cohort of 15 postgraduate scholars was formally onboarded at the Biocon Campus, beginning a six-month internship and mentorship journey across NCBS, IBAB, IISc and Biocon. The program creates a structured pathway for academic talent to transition into scientific careers. In addition to the postgraduate cohort, 10 undergraduate students are set to join the program in the coming months.
Through scholarships, industry exposure, lab immersion, mentorship and structured career guidance, BioWISE aims to equip young women with the skills, confidence and professional networks they need to thrive as future scientists.
We look forward to sharing more stories and milestones from the BioWISE Cohort 1 experience as their journey unfolds.

Happy Birthday, @kiranshaw#Celebrating your journey shaped by trust, purpose, and belief to make lasting global impact. Going beyond milestones achieved, it’s the inspiring moments that define your lasting legacy.
Wishing you good health, happiness, & continued inspiration!
Some journeys are measured not in years, but in what they make possible.
She believed that purpose could change the world and then she went ahead and proved it.
She built a global enterprise, from the very beginning, for a healthy world — rooted not in ambition alone, but in the conviction that science must serve everyone.
She ensured that affordable, life-saving medicines reached the people who needed them the most, not as a privilege, but as a right. Because breakthroughs change science, but access changes lives.
She led not from a distance, but with empathy, with inclusion, and with the quiet strength that lifts everyone around her.
Growth builds business. Hope nurtures lives. She never lost sight of either.
Today, as we celebrate her 73rd birthday, we honour not just what she has built, but the values she built it on.
Purpose. Excellence. Hope.
Happy Birthday, @kiranshaw. May you continue to inspire the world, one belief at a time.

This year, International Women's Day asks us to #GiveToGain. Here's what that means to us.
Somewhere out there is a woman who wasn't given the chance.
A company that probably wasn't built. A cure that probably wasn't found. A record that wasn't broken.
Because the woman who would have done it was told that it wasn't really a "girl thing."
We'll never know her name. We'll never know what she would have created.
This International Women's Day, we're not just celebrating the women who made it through. We're thinking about what the world lost every time one didn't.
The ideas that never took flight. The voices that were never heard. The futures that were never built.
When a woman gets her chance, she isn't the only one who wins. The whole world does. 💙

Over 1 billion people worldwide are living with obesity today. By 2035, that number could be 4 billion — half the world's population.
Effective treatments exist. Yet for millions, access remains the barrier.
That gap is exactly what drives us. At Biocon Group, our commitment has always been simple: Develop complex therapies for chronic conditions and make them available to all who need them — not just the few who can afford them.
On #WorldObesityDay, we stand with everyone to help them fight obesity.
