You are a global leader today; tell us about your career journey?
I have been working with the same company for 25 years and recently celebrated my 25th work anniversary at Novo Nordisk. Such a long time in a single organisation might sound boring to many, but at Novo Nordisk, I have worked in different functions including sales, marketing, finance, and production across different geographies - North and South Europe, the US, Japan and now in India where I am heading the Global Shared Services in India for the last two years. I feel 25 years have flown away quickly but I also feel that I got a lot of opportunities during my career. I never imagined I would be here for this long. Whenever I tried to explore opportunities outside Novo Nordisk, I have always come back with the feeling that the opportunities at Novo Nordisk are much more challenging and exciting. The company has since been on a wonderful journey in 25 years, expanding its services and reaching out to many more patients across the world. Today, we are among the top 10 pharma companies in the world. I feel my journey is closely linked with Novo Nordisk which itself has been very inspirational and interesting.

PROSOLV® 730: Directly compressible carrier for lipophilic ingredients
Nearly 90 % of molecules in the discovery pipeline and 40 % of drugs with market approval are poorly water soluble. Poor aqueous solubility can lead to low bioavailability resulting in insufficient plasma levels. Oil-based preparations of these APIs, as well as oily APIs in general, present challenges in terms of solid dosage form manufacturing. PROSOLV® 730 was designed to provide a solution to the formulation of BCS class II and IV APIs. It enables the formulation of lipidic APIs or API-loaded lipid systems by facilitating the adsorption of oil, creating a free-flowing, compactible system that can be further formulated.
