India has scientific talent.
Do we have the training to convert it into drug discovery capability?
What’s the most underrepresented skill in Indian drug discovery teams today?

India produces ~20% of global generics but <1% of new drugs, highlighting a major innovation gap. Drug discovery takes 10–15 years, from target ID to approval, with high failure rates only ~10% entering Phase I reach market.
Understanding the full pipeline is critical.

India makes ~20% of the world’s generic medicines.

But in drug discovery, our contribution remains limited.

AI is beginning to change this, rapidly.

The question is:
Will Indian innovators lead this shift?

[Federation of Asian Biotech Associations (FABA) @bio_faba]

India makes ~20% of global generics but <1% of novel drugs. The manufacturing, discovery gap, driven by limited industry-linked training across medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, ADME, and translational biology, is a major challenge we aim to address
