AstraZeneca launches clinical data, insights division in India

Commenting on the launch of the CDI division in India, Siva Padmanabhan, Managing Director, AstraZeneca India Private Limited, said, "The role of GCCs in the overall growth of the parent organisation is witnessing a shift. Over the last decade, GCCs in India are undertaking more strategic and transformative work critical to the success of the organisation. India has seen a constant uptick in investment in areas such as Business Services, Engineering, Digital, IT, R&D and Product Development from global Fortune-500 companies. AstraZeneca in India is no different – since its inception, AZIPL has supported the global organisation with various services spanning IT, Business Services and R&D from our centres in Chennai and Bengaluru, on transformative projects. AstraZeneca's decision to set up the CDI division in India is only a natural progression of this, to further capitalise on the extensive talent pool in the country."

Commenting on setting up a CDI division in India, Natalie Fishburn, Vice President, Global Head of Clinical Data & Insights, AstraZeneca, said, "Clinical data and insight solutions enable pharmaceutical organisations such as ours to gain in-depth visibility into the patient's journey by extracting actionable insights from disparate data sources. The establishment of the CDI division in India is key to our strategic vision of being industry leaders in this space. The way in which we manage data is evolving, and we are growing and expanding our capabilities to be ready for the future. In addition, the fact that the Indian market has grown significantly by offering a large talent pool, many of whom have over 10 years of experience, has further motivated us to set up this division in India."
