As Prime Minister @narendramodi completes a decade in office, @kiranshaw, Founder & Chairperson, #Biocon, reflects on the #leadership journey that has sought to reshape India’s development trajectory and redefine its place in the world.
“Scientific capability is not merely an academic pursuit. It is a strategic national asset. It underpins economic competitiveness, technological sovereignty, healthcare security, energy resilience and long-term national prosperity.” @PMOIndia@MIB_India
Twenty years ago, Europe changed the course of global healthcare by approving the world’s first biosimilar medicine. Since 2006, biosimilars have proven to be a vital tool in supporting healthcare systems’ resilience, while offering more treatment options for chronic and high-impact diseases.
Over the past two decades, biosimilars have supported nearly 7 billion days of treatment for patients and generated €56 billion in cumulative savings across Europe.*
But the need ahead is even greater.
As the burden of chronic disease continues to rise, placing increasing pressure on healthcare budgets, and more biologic medicines approach patent expiry, the role of biosimilars in helping the healthcare system and expanding patient access will only grow.
At Biocon, we are driven by this mission. Biosimilars remain a fundamental and invaluable asset for patient care, healthcare system resilience, and broader access to life-changing treatments.
Let’s continue building this journey together.

Melanoma is one of the most serious forms of skin cancers, with global cases projected to rise by more than 50% by 2040 according to a study published in JAMA Dermatology.
However, the Skin Cancer Foundation states melanoma is highly treatable when detected early, with survival rates exceeding 90% in many early-stage cases. Advances in treatment are also improving outcomes for many patients.
Melanoma can begin with subtle changes in the skin. Dermatologists recommend paying attention to the ABCDE signs of melanoma: asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven colour, diameter larger than 6 mm, or an evolving shape or size, itching or bleeding.
These signs can help support earlier detection and timely medical attention.
Listen to your skin. Notice the changes. Early awareness can help ensure better outcomes.

Persistent abdominal discomfort is often overlooked, yet for many people it may signal a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
On World Inflammatory Bowel Disease Day, we recognize the importance of greater awareness, earlier diagnosis, and timely care for conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
As IBD is increasingly becoming a global concern, expanding access to affordable therapies remains essential to improving long-term outcomes for patients.
At Biocon, we are committed to working with healthcare communities to help make this possible.

At the Panhellenic Conference on Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) in Rhodes, Biocon Greece engaged with gastroenterology experts on the evolving future of IBD care.
Between 2018 and 2022, the proportion of Greek IBD patients using biosimilars increased from 33% to 67%, reflecting the growing role of biosimilars in improving healthcare sustainability and access to care.
As the burden of chronic autoimmune diseases continues to rise, expanding access to sustainable, long-term IBD care is more essential than ever before.
Our teams discussed treatment optimization, disease management strategies, and the critical role biosimilars can play in supporting both healthcare systems and patients across Greece.
At Biocon, we are committed to advancing access to affordable therapies and improving long-term outcomes for people living with IBD.

In the May cover story of @FortuneIndia, @kiranshaw reflects on over four decades of building Biocon — from pioneering industrial enzymes to becoming a global biosimilars leader. A journey defined by reinvention, innovation, and the courage to take bold bets where others saw uncertainty.
As Biocon looks ahead to its next chapter, the focus is clear: high-value biotech innovation, powered by emerging technologies such as AI.
In the same feature, Shreehas Tambe outlines the three strategic priorities shaping Biocon’s next phase of growth: integrating technology platforms to unlock scale and efficiency, embedding augmented intelligence – AI amplified by human intelligence – to accelerate innovation and enable smarter decision-making, and transforming Biocon into a stronger global market-facing organisation.
With the launch of Office of Augmented Intelligence and enterprise-wide investments in data digitisation, Biocon is building an ecosystem where human expertise and AI work together to unlock new possibilities in biotech innovation.
As Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and Shreehas Tambe share in the story, the future of biotech will belong to those who can combine scientific ambition with technological intelligence.

#Biocon #ViksitBharat #WomenInLeadership #SAHIT
Honouring 𝗠𝘀. 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘇𝘂𝗺𝗱𝗮𝗿-𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘄 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗜𝗧 Global 𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰-𝟮𝟱
Two years ago, we started Sahit with one ambition: create a platform that facilitates equality, equity and inclusion.
Supported by Indian National Science Academy - INSA @insa_academy , Miranda House, @UnivofDelhi and ASSOCHAM, our first goal: getting more women in the formal workforce. This is crucial to competing with large global economies and achieving ambitious growth targets. We need female heroes and role models to drive systemic change, challenge structural barriers, inspire the next generation, and redefine what leadership looks like in India. That is why we celebrate women leaders, achievers and changemakers who are not just breaking barriers, but building pathways, reshaping systems, and paving the way for the next generation.
It gives me immense pleasure to recognize Dr. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw (@kiranshaw) as a 𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗜𝗧 Global 𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 for her extraordinary leadership, pioneering spirit, and transformative impact as a trailblazing entrepreneur in India’s biotechnology sector. As the Founder and Executive Chairperson of @Bioconlimited, she has not only built a globally respected enterprise but also redefined the role of Indian innovation in advancing affordable healthcare solutions.
She has created thousands of jobs, nurtured countless startups, and put Bengaluru on the global biotech map. Her leadership extends far beyond the boardroom, through the Mazumdar Shaw Medical Foundation, she’s made world-class cancer care accessible to all, embodying the spirit of seva (service) alongside enterprise.
As a fearless pathbreaker, she didn't just build a company; she built an industry. When the world said India couldn't manufacture complex biologics, she pioneered the country's first indigenous insulin and slashed cancer drug prices by over 90%. In doing so, she transformed India from a dependent consumer into a global hub for affordable, life-saving healthcare, proving that commercial success and social impact are not opposites but allies.
A vocal advocate for women in #STEM, she has consistently used her platform to mentor the next generation of female scientists and entrepreneurs, urging them to “think big, fail fast, and never settle.”
@Sahit_Platform honours Ms. Shaw not just as a nation-builder who seamlessly blends profit with purpose, innovation with inclusion, and ambition with empathy. Her unparalleled contribution to India’s biotech sovereignty, unwavering commitment to affordable healthcare, and her role as a torchbearer for women-led development, we proudly confer upon her the SAHIT Global Icon Award.
She was formally recognized on the 27th March, 2026, by @DrJitendraSingh, Union Minister of State (Independant charge) Department of Science & Technology, Government of India (@IndiaDST) and Earth Sciences & me at the SAHIT Summit & Awards, Delhi.
Many congratulations Dr Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, and thank you for inspiring an entire generation.
