India's Pharmaceutical Success
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 кві 2022
- The Indian economy is largely a service-based one. And the past few years has only seen that trend intensify. With one big exception: Pharmaceuticals.
India has the third largest pharmaceutical industry by volume and the 11th largest by value - as of 2020. And it is growing extremely fast. India is the world's largest provider of generic drugs. The United States relies on India for 40% of its generics.
In 2020, they exported $16 billion more of pharmaceuticals than they imported. These exports meet the strict standards and regulations of many countries around the world. India's pharmaceutical industry is legit.
The story of how this industry came about is an interesting one. In this video, we look at how the Indian pharmaceutical industry started out as mere copycats, but then evolved throughout the value chain to become a global leader.

Big time was When India Produced Generic drugs for HIV at $2.
Earlier it's cost was $7000.
It helped Majorly African countries & also India.
Thank you for appreciation. With love from India :)

Ask the African nations how beneficial Indian drugs mattered when the Aids epidemic was waging , the western drugs were so expensive none could afford it , enter Indian generic 's suddenly the price plummeted , the entire contingent was able to fend it off effectively helped by WHO who r the biggest proponents of Indian drugs .

Congress succes story

It breaks my heart that the big pharma industries of Western nations have a stranglehold over the most crucial life saving drugs, in India maybe were poor but even the poorest of poor have access to all the life saving drugs for free (at government facilities) or at a fraction of the cost (few cents).
Apply a Band-Aid to your heart and open up your eyes a little. Nobody in the west dies because of lack of medicine. Lacs die in India every year from diarrhea, pneumonia, TB etc. Easily preventable diseases if there was anything resembling basic health care.
It’s not that much cheaper. I work in pharma. Cut it out.
@@otiszoff8079 do you work in pharma for India
@@otiszoff8079 huge difference in price between generic and branded
The fruits of capitalism
Insulin vial costs less than $10 in India. Some of them are even as cheap as $5. Exactly same vial costs about $300 in USA . Saving lives of people is far more important than filling pockets of big pharma.
Na. Just demand and supply at work
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 no not really... There are literally stories of people crossing into Mexico or Canada to buy insulin and then return back. The price of insulin, like many other life saving drugs has been artificially inflated in the US. I really recommend John Oliver's 20 min episode on the pharmaceutical industry in the US

India is cheaper because all the research and development and legal liability is on western countries. Especially, the USA and Switzerland
@draftee the white tr@$h f@ggot actually the average total compensation is about 300000. With the highest paid ceos, including stock options is over 20 million. It takes an average of 12 years and 2 billion dollars to bring a drug to market. Then you add that only 10 percent of drugs pass clinical trials. That’s 90% failure rate once a drug makes it to the clinic. That does not account for the drugs that fail before even making it to human trials. So from start to finish only a fraction of a percentage make it to markets. Usually a new chemical entity is granted a 20 year patent. So they usually have less than 10 years left on the patent to make all that money back, before generics can be made. So the ceo salary is a drop in the bucket. The USA and some other western nations (particularly Switzerland) take the brunt of these costs. India and other Asian countries don’t have to robust research so they rely on the west

As a pharmacist working in Canada, I can tell you that we have begun to feel the impact of Indian pharmaceutical exports locally. They have left local generic drug manufacturers in the water when it comes to competitive pricing and landing on provincial drug formularies. They are competitive and we are becoming more and more reliabt on India's generic drugs and in turn on China's APIs. Many of these molecules have become "single supplier molecules" as there exists no other healthy competitor.

The best thing is that India has several different companies instead of a monopoly of a few large conglomerates.

In this time of war in Ukraine, sanctions on Russian super-rich oligarchs and India's stance on Russia - you may be interested in this historical story about how Britain's industrial revolution and wealth was directly correlated with the British looting, pauperization and deindustrialization of India which I have been telling the British [where I live]:
Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' [the Hindi word for plunder] as the richest [non-monarch] man in Europe (Open University online estimates his 'loot' at £100 million at today's rates). His East India Co. mafiosi henchmen became the new super-rich 'nobs' (from nawabs/'nabobs') and often bought up parliamentary seats - the Pitt family made their fortune looting India. Meanwhile, 1/3 of the population of Bengal Province [inc. modern Orissa and Bihar] - some 10 million died in the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 due to the rapacity of the Brits. Richard Becher [relative of William M. Thackeray] had predicted this 'Ruin of Bengal' which had been the richest province in Mughal India [which had 27% of global GDP before British occupation]. The Ruin of Bengal also led to economic crisis in Europe as dozens of banks collapsed in days as looted Indian wealth dried up for a while and Adam Smith had to delay his 'Wealth of Nations'.
As research published by Columbia UP showed in 2018, the British stole some US$45 Trillion from India over two centuries which financed the Industrial Revolution and much else in Britain and its white settler colonies [see Jason Hickel's article on Al Jazeera online which also discusses how Britain lies about this history]. They also killed tens of millions of Indians by exporting India's foodgrains for British Food Security and profit including the setting up of Death Camps which gave less starvation rations than Buchenwald for hard labour to victims of the 1877 Madras Famine killing 94% of inmates - 7 million in total died [whilst record amounts of exports of Indian foodgrains lowered prices for Westerners]. George Orwell wrote (The Road to Wigan Pier) that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live the way that they do.
The British also deindustrialized India which had dominated manufacturing exports in textiles. H.H. Wilson wrote in 1853 that Manchester and Paisley could not have risen, even with steam power without the systematic elimination of competition from cheaper and superior Indian handloom cottons. This included the breaking of weavers' fingers and the cutting off of thumbs of weavers of Dhaka Muslin [a highly-prized elite cloth which which cost many times the price of silk] as well as tariff barriers and creating a Captive Market for British goods. Governor General William Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. In the 1790s English experts declared Indian Wootz the best steel in the world and Sheffield copied its techniques but Indian steelmaking was stifled to suppress competition. India had been a major shipbuilder and continued to be in the early British-rule - the oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy is HMS Trincomalee built in 1817 by an Indian company in Bombay of superior Indian teak. But soon afterwards, British shipbuilders stopped shipbuilding competition in India. As Shashi Tharoor tells us in Inglorious Empire, Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives and thus the Brits stopped such manufacturing as well. Even during the 1939-45 war [when British Empire admirer Hitler wanted to make Ukraine and Russia Germany's 'India'], the British refused US plans to make aircraft factories in India (to fight Japan) as they did not want an independent India postwar to compete.
After the war the British [and the postwar USA - following George Kennan's strategy of holding Asia down as poor compared to the West - whilst giving Marshall Aid to redevelop Europe] refused to help India build a steelmill at Bhilai saying stick to your traditional raw materials! The Brits created the First World/Third World schism and tried to maintain it. It was the USSR that stepped in and helped build Bhilai. They also helped build India's first Institute of Technology at Kharagpur. This - not arms sales is what led to the strong Indo-Soviet and then Indo-Russian partnership and friendship! In 1971 the USA and UK sent warships to support the Pakistani dictator perpetrating the largest genocide since 1945, killing 3 million in East Bengal. It was the Soviet Navy that warned off the USS Enterprise and Soviet threats to attack China stopped Mao from attacking India in support of Pakistan.

Your point about India needing to reduce dependence on China has been partially answered by a recent govt policy called PLI’s (production linked incentives). They cover many fields including API’s (active pharma ingredients) where China has a near monopoly vis a vis India. The policy aims to provide credits to manufacturers commensurate to sales to help plug the cost gap with China. Interesting you didn’t talk about India’s role and success with manufacturing covid vaccines, particularly Astrazeneca which is mass manufactured in Pune. Insightful video overall!!!
Any content related to COVID-19 are demonetized on YT iirc.
answered is the not the right word. Answered would be when that dependance has been reduced. Whether this policy produces the desired result remains to be seen. Expecting PLI to be panacea for all the problems plaguing the manufacturing sector is short sighted and ill informed. Having a policy in place is not the same as producing desired results. Implementation and market environment are all important.
India has shoot its self in the foot in telecom a few months back killing fiber build out of Jio and doubling rates. The funding and tax models have hurt the rise and development of a people out of poverty and middle class. Now Cryptocurrency tax drove developers to other SE Asia markets and USA along with new fiber development group out of India three months ago. Both corruption and crazy taxation seem to collapse India on the cusp of break put success. At least pharma is solid for now.
Too early to say what its impact will be, given how much this government likes to give big announcements while not doing as much as advertised on ground, it is best to be cautious before coming to any conclusion about any big industrial policy announced by them.
@@alexanderphilip1809 it's already paying dividens . For example india's merchandise exports have reached 420 Billion dollars in fiscal year 2021-2020 from 290 Billion dollars in 2020 and 300 billion in 2019 primarily due to extensive growth in manufacturing sector additionally propelled by PLI scheme especially in the consumer electronics sector .
Discovery is often not done by the pharma companies, but by universities (with public money), then pharma buys the discovered IP if it works in vitro.

All I could find was IIT Kanpur on 4, April 2022 received one of the largest personal donations from co-founder of IndiGo Airlines Rakesh Gangwal, who donated ₹1 billion to set up the School of Medical Sciences and Technology with a 500-bed super-speciality hospital in its campus.
$2 billion dollars is a very big amount. It is ₹1,52,66,32,00,000.00

My friend who is owner of a very small medicine making factory told me when i asked about API production in china:
"API production cost was same in India and china, but their govt. started giving subsidies(a lot) to lower the export price and flood other countries. Indian producers couldn't compete and the govt.(India) at that time didn't care. So they weren't able to compete. Chinese did forced mergers and did production scaling eventually and with these two factors indian producers cant compete. If govt. bans the imports, Indian producers can provide better quality and eventually scale towards low costs."
PLI scheme is a game changer for api production in india.
And what u are suggesting is now ongoing process many api producing factories were already stated it's production it is just a matter of 1 n a half year
They are doing this now. Putting anti dumping duties on Chinese AIP
This is the problem in most sectors dominated by China. They subsidise their products artificially and flood export markets. This is called dumping. China does dumping in something as simple as earphones. Good that the Indian government has started putting anti dumping duties on China.

In this time of war in Ukraine, sanctions on Russian super-rich oligarchs and India's stance on Russia - you may be interested in this historical story about how Britain's industrial revolution and wealth was directly correlated with the British looting, pauperization and deindustrialization of India which I have been telling the British [where I live]:
Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' [the Hindi word for plunder] as the richest [non-monarch] man in Europe (Open University online estimates his 'loot' at £100 million at today's rates). His East India Co. mafiosi henchmen became the new super-rich 'nobs' (from nawabs/'nabobs') and often bought up parliamentary seats - the Pitt family made their fortune looting India. Meanwhile, 1/3 of the population of Bengal Province [inc. modern Orissa and Bihar] - some 10 million died in the Great Bengal Famine of 1770 due to the rapacity of the Brits. Richard Becher [relative of William M. Thackeray] had predicted this 'Ruin of Bengal' which had been the richest province in Mughal India [which had 27% of global GDP before British occupation]. The Ruin of Bengal also led to economic crisis in Europe as dozens of banks collapsed in days as looted Indian wealth dried up for a while and Adam Smith had to delay his 'Wealth of Nations'.
As research published by Columbia UP showed in 2018, the British stole some US$45 Trillion from India over two centuries which financed the Industrial Revolution and much else in Britain and its white settler colonies [see Jason Hickel's article on Al Jazeera online which also discusses how Britain lies about this history]. They also killed tens of millions of Indians by exporting India's foodgrains for British Food Security and profit including the setting up of Death Camps which gave less starvation rations than Buchenwald for hard labour to victims of the 1877 Madras Famine killing 94% of inmates - 7 million in total died [whilst record amounts of exports of Indian foodgrains lowered prices for Westerners]. George Orwell wrote (The Road to Wigan Pier) that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live the way that they do.
The British also deindustrialized India which had dominated manufacturing exports in textiles. H.H. Wilson wrote in 1853 that Manchester and Paisley could not have risen, even with steam power without the systematic elimination of competition from cheaper and superior Indian handloom cottons. This included the breaking of weavers' fingers and the cutting off of thumbs of weavers of Dhaka Muslin [a highly-prized elite cloth which which cost many times the price of silk] as well as tariff barriers and creating a Captive Market for British goods. Governor General William Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. In the 1790s English experts declared Indian Wootz the best steel in the world and Sheffield copied its techniques but Indian steelmaking was stifled to suppress competition. India had been a major shipbuilder and continued to be in the early British-rule - the oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy is HMS Trincomalee built in 1817 by an Indian company in Bombay of superior Indian teak. But soon afterwards, British shipbuilders stopped shipbuilding competition in India. As Shashi Tharoor tells us in Inglorious Empire, Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives and thus the Brits stopped such manufacturing as well. Even during the 1939-45 war [when British Empire admirer Hitler wanted to make Ukraine and Russia Germany's 'India'], the British refused US plans to make aircraft factories in India (to fight Japan) as they did not want an independent India postwar to compete.
After the war the British [and the postwar USA - following George Kennan's strategy of holding Asia down as poor compared to the West - whilst giving Marshall Aid to redevelop Europe] refused to help India build a steelmill at Bhilai saying stick to your traditional raw materials! The Brits created the First World/Third World schism and tried to maintain it. It was the USSR that stepped in and helped build Bhilai. They also helped build India's first Institute of Technology at Kharagpur. This - not arms sales is what led to the strong Indo-Soviet and then Indo-Russian partnership and friendship! In 1971 the USA and UK sent warships to support the Pakistani dictator perpetrating the largest genocide since 1945, killing 3 million in East Bengal. It was the Soviet Navy that warned off the USS Enterprise and Soviet threats to attack China stopped Mao from attacking India in support of Pakistan.

I must say the Indian government can do a lot more to make the lives of technocrats easier. My father is in the API business and is responsible for key pharmaceutical discoveries and developments in India. Now, he has started his own company which is trying to produce niche products which others have not even attempted to make, also reducing the dependence of India on China. He has found it very difficult to get support here. Imagine the technocratic boom and economic growth that India will see if such technocrats are given financial and institutional support!
India also conducts clinical, pharmaceutical and agricultural research in government research institutes that are then made public

Indian pharmaceutical industry is growing but the salary they are offering to employees at beginning or rather i should say up to 2 years is very very low compared to other sector. Pharmacy degree is not rated well here in India

As a final year Pharma grad I agree. I have to complete masters if I want to get a decent salary.
But I don't blame corporates alone. Colleges treat B.Pharma as a money printing machine rather than giving us skills. 😑
Right now, pharmaceutical has both 4 year degree and 2 year diploma but I can understand why ppl don't want diploma. Govt should arrange ways for diploma holders to upgrade their diploma to a bachelors degree through a bridge course of 2 years, instead of having to do the whole thing again.

Looks like the success was the liberalization not import substitution.

Seen similar justifications of Mao’s policies claiming that China wouldn’t have been the success it was if it weren’t for Mao somehow even though he espoused the very opposite of the policies that made them successful later on.
I wish we can replicate this success in rest of the manufacturing fields.

I was under the impression that many/most Indians distrust Western medicine and prefer to opt for Ayurvedic medicine. It's surprising that they became so dominant in pharmaceutical production. Although I wonder if the market for Ayurveda is still larger.
I can't speak for smaller cities and villages, but I'm a major city - no. Ayurveda is a go-to for some people for smaller illness and for preventative care but for emergency care people turn to western medicine.
no ayurveda not larger
Mostly marketing - allopathy (as I like to call it proper treatment) has been dominant and continue to push out others - Ayurveda is fine and dandy until the disease is actually debilitating, then folks go for the actual medicine
We may be Hindus, but we aren't retarded. Auyrveda can work, it's a science based in preventing, unlike westen which is targeting symptoms. Unless we put same R&D on ayurveda it will remain a niche, won't be main stream. And don't listen to idiots who say, " maybe in villages." Cause everyone including the very remote areas use western drugs.
Under the quackery of Ayurveda (which is supported by central and state government programs), these "medicines" are prescribed with actual medicines. Unlike in other countries since doctors are cheap, most people visit multiple, and then take a combination of actual medicines and alternative medicines. My father for instance has been taking a pill for his BP every morning for a decade, but also a bunch of Homeopathic, and one Ayurveda capsule. But he credits the Homeopathic sugar pill for keeping his BP under control, not the miracle of science that he's been taking every day.

@@Kai.913 do you realise that these pharma companies are equally corrupt? They are the ones who give party funding for election campaigns and guess where that money goes? In to the pockets of people who ask money for Vote so who exactly is corrupt now? They all are

Modi government just doubled the R&D spending?
Great research man.
Excellent information.
My personal fav. quote is still the one about the cat.
Bangladesh has a similar success story in their pharma industry. This poverty-stricken tiny country now produces 95% of its pharma products locally.
yeah sure
@@apidas sure what?
So they dont import drugs and medicine from india 🤔
@@shreyastripathi1927 They sure do but most products are manufactured and supplied locally
@@shreyastripathi1927 As OP mentioned, there are medicines imported from India (Bangladeshis also contribute billions to India's economy through medical tourism as local options are limited/untrusted)
But Bangladesh also has a very robust domestic infrastructure when it comes to producing generics and does indeed have the capabilities of meeting its internal demands - which has been reasonably enough to satiate growth for a market of 170M people. The challenge it faces is that it has very limited competitive edge for growth because India and China produces everything Bangladesh does at a much larger scale and at a more competitive price. Bangladesh is also due to lose its GSP status which allows it to export to the EU under 0 duties (current global exports are $130M, which is a tiny segment of total exports). The issue of innovation that encompassed India is far worse in Bangladesh, as the last couple decades have resulted in very small investments in R&D and talented individuals tend to move overseas - though large companies such as Beximco and Square have realised this and are shifting their practices but time will tell if BD can get onto the ladder
Thanks useful info.
Very detailed video
You know at what payment scale I started job, it's 5000 in hand with 12 hrs duty, now after 3.6 years I'm at 20000 in hand for a top translational company
Trying to keep the end product price low means lower salaries to worker class people. But the actual innovators, scientists, technical people probably do get paid handsomely. This is in general a problem with India's education, not much research, not many papers or patents. People just run after jobs.
holy crap I want those patent laws for the rest of the world. right now.
