Biotechnology in India has remained in infant stage for over a decade. Though the institutional research in Biotechnology never ceased to happen, the job prospects in this industry have only followed a downward trend. Much of it might be attributed to the flooding numbers of Biotechnology graduates/postgraduates every year, with no increase in demand at the level of limited number of "good" Biotechnology Companies. Under such a scenario, any lack of enthusiasm and determination to move against the odds can prove fatal for the future.
Jobs are always there for the deserving, bright candidates, but for that one needs to search them actively and apply to the company concerned, within stipulated time to make a mark!
So, here in this article, my focus is on enlisting some of the companies of repute in India, which are actively pursuing "good" candidates:
1. Biocon
It's the dream destination for most Biotechnology professionals. Ranked among the Top 20 best Biopharma Employers Globally, Biocon can change the entire anatomy of one's struggling career!
2. Dr. Reddy's
Another Global Pharma giant! working on Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients, Global Generics and Proprietary Products.
3. Wockhardt
Another Global Biotechnology Organization manufacturing high quality therapeutic drugs.

Their innovative fermentation techniques and expertise has caught the attention of the industry and research, making them a sought after company both for job seekers and outsourcers.
