Incredible Pharmaleaders 2013, Billion Dreams - Pushing India's Growth Agenda - is the theme at the historic edition of the the 6th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Pharmaleaders Business Leadership Awards 2013

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, December 26, 2013 -- (Business Wire India) -- In an era where Healthcare in India is the most neglected as Politicians & Policy Makers are busy scoring their political points, Pharmaleaders attempt to raise the uncomfortable questions ignored by other media houses as we believe that healthcare is key to the nation development & India cannot be a mute spectator where policy reforms in healthcare has taken a backstage over political issues. "We need reforms. We don't need false promises. The nation needs affordable medicines with quality care & not empty & unreasonable claims. India needs enough doctors, working public healthcare centres, nurses & a robust policy, not just unrealistic & populist measures. We are sick of this", said Satya Brahma, Chairman & Editor-In-Chief Pharmaleaders.

Pharmaleaders believe that while the industry today is at the loggerheads with the Government & various statutory authorities including the regulators such as the Drug Administration, Market watchdog SEBI & host of other organizations, there is a lack of meaningful dialogue & interaction between the Industry & the Government leading to the bigger uncertainty of the overseas players coming to India with the basket of products & investments in the absence of a weak law & virtual policy paralysis. The issue of Pricing is the biggest factor leading to the discontentment of the Pharma Companies. The unavailability of medicines seen across the country is the major challenge as well the declining research & drug discovery, Clinical trials are seen as major deterrents". The Pharmaleaders platform therefore attempts to build these crucial gap of trust deficit & infuse the sense of confidence of the country's drug makers, policy makers & the government. Pharmaleaders is an independent Media that aims to ventilate the views of the common man through its magazine & digital version. Pharmaleaders is India's first opinion based & research driven Healthcare Communication media & has a decade of relentless reporting in Pharma Journalism in an unbiased, fearless & independent way.

Announcing the Nomination categories of Pharmaleaders Business Leadership Awards 2013, Satya Brahma, Chairman & Editor-In-Chief of Pharmaleaders said " Pharmaleaders attempt is to bring out the best of the companies & Individuals who have been performing under tough conditions following global economic slowdown, pricing policy of the drugs, regulators strict vigilance & host of other healthcare issues, while every care is taken to include the best companies based on their performances, Pharmaleaders do not make a fixed set of rules as per ranking, big or small in size & revenues, it is innovations & trendsetting, that are the mantras of selection.
