starting December 6th.
“India is one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of pharmaceutical products by volume globally. We see a significant opportunity to accelerate the shift to digital and process automation across manufacturing and quality for the Indian pharma industry,” said Snehal Srikrishna, senior director, strategy – manufacturing and quality, Veeva Systems.
