Could you tell us about your journey from being the CEO and presently to CMD of Ecobliss India?
The transition to CMD is not a significant milestone as it is business as usual. However, personally, it is a moment of pride, reflecting the trust and faith my team and stakeholders have in me.

Patient Consent - How is it different under medical ethics and data protection?
In the ethical and legal framework of medicine and law, consent has always existed. Within healthcare, it signifies the individual's right to be informed and to choose. However, in the digital era, consent assumes a broader function; it becomes the foundation for lawful processing of personal data. For the pharma and clinical-research sectors, this distinction carries significant implications. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), has redefined how personal and health-related data must be managed. This article explores why consent under data-protection law differs from medical consent, drawing lessons from the irregularities uncovered in the Ahmedabad clinical trials, and outlines the emerging compliance responsibilities under the DPDPA.
