Biocon Academy - Biocon's new Venture
#1
Biocon the biggest Asian conglomerate has unveiled its new venture Biocon Academy on 11th November 2013 with the key objective to groom the science talents (graduates) in India enabling them to work in the field of Life sciences efficiently.

The state of the art center of Excellence for Advanced Learning in Applied Biosciences is a joint collaboration of Biocon and Keck Graduate Institute (KGI), USA.

Biocon is privileged to be associated with KGI in preparing skilled professionals to serve the Biotech industry of India.

Biotech industry in India is growing constantly recording a 20% rate of increase over a decade and the worth of India’s Biotech industry is estimated to be about 11 billion dollars. As a result the demand for human resources by the life sciences industry in India is increasing with the growth of the industry. In the present scenario there is lack of efficient hands to serve the biotech industry needs which triggered the projection of Biocon Academy by Biocon. The team Biocon observed that in spite of 40K students being graduated in Biotech every year in India majority of them struggle to build a successful career in biotechnology. The reason for this condition is ruled out to be insufficient practical skills (the most desired trait to excel in a biotech industry) and lack of industrial knowledge and exposure.
