Kiran Mazumdar Shaw
Biocon is a well-known name in the biopharmaceutical sector. Established by Kiran Mazumdar Shaw in the garage of her rented home with a mere investment of 10,000, it has evolved from an enzyme-manufacturing company into a fully integrated biopharmaceutical enterprise. It is the first company to manufacture and export enzymes to U.S. and Europe and the first to receive U.S. funding for proprietary technologies. Its fully integrated business model spans the entire drug value chain, from pre-clinical discovery to clinical development and through to commercialization.
