BioTecNika Magazine - June 2015

In this issue

EditorBiotechnology sector is quite infamously famous for often receiv-ing the new comers into the industry quite coldly. Be it in terms of infrastructure, getting required approvals or even fetching investors, a bio-preneur’s tale has many villains to overcome before they could actually celebrate a success story. The June issue is dedicated to all the start ups in the industry who have tried hard to make a mark and to those who are still in the rising. The cover story revolves around the ‘hide and seek’ between biotech start ups and the investors and how compatible do they stand out compared to other sectors. Though biotech sector stays ambitious in terms of reaching a top spot in the charts but do we have enough opportunities for its people? We talk about the profit, but is there patience to wait for the returns? Quite sadly, no. Investors, who are mostly in a jiffy of looking for short term benefits often neglect on the huge profits that biotech could bring. There are a lot of strategies and improvements which if adopted could drastically change the scenario. Although in bits and pieces, we are heading towards that layout which is supportive of bio-preneur taking its step smoothly into the sector. Give a definite read to this biotech entrepreneur and investor relationship existing in India in the ‘BT start up special’ issue.
