Biocon among top 5 biotech employers globally

Biocon Executive Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw said, "We are delighted to be ranked among the Top Five Global Biotech Employers by Science Magazine. The ranking is a recognition of the passion that our employees bring to the job, which allowed us to run essential and critical manufacturing, quality and supply operations with reduced staffing despite the severe disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, thus minimizing the impact on patients and partners. Their commitment also enabled us to rapidly develop novel therapeutics for the deadly coronavirus and serve humanity by fighting COVID-19."

"We will continue to build on Biocon's employee-friendly culture that promotes ideation, experimentation and collaboration as we aspire to create future leaders who will revolutionize healthcare through innovative products and services," she added.

The Top 5 global players in this year's list are Regeneron, Alnylam, Incyte, Syngenta and Biocon.

For the companies that emerged in the top 20, remarks from respondents reflected their pride and gratitude in the fact that the organizations they represented had continuously invested in their well-being while still putting science and patients first. When employees see meaningful action by their employers that is designed to empower and support them in every way possible, they respond in kind: They produce their best work. And in the arena of pharma and biotech, that easily translates into better patient outcomes, The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) said.
