Career Opportunities in the sector

In India, two main sources of employment are medical biotechnology and agricultural biotechnology. Medical biotechnology, is an emerging sector in India, and accounts for nearly 70% of the total revenue of the biotech sectors. The companies that populate this sector could be divided into three broad categories.  One is that of small startup companies that have indigenously developed biotech products, e.g., Shantha Biotech and Bharat Biotech. Then there are large pharmaceutical firms which have began responding to the biotech wave and have incorporated biotechnology in their strategy like Dr. Reddy&rsquos Laboratory (DRL), Ranbaxy Laboratories and Wockhardt Ltd. The third group has start-ups, which are all set to emerge as contract research organisations (CROs), who mainly work for transnational corporations.
