Hi All
My name is Nida Aziz and I'm working as an HR Executive with a leading group of Pharmaceuticals companies in Karachi, Pakistan.
We were once interviewing an MBBS doctor who was interested in joining Indian Pharmaceutical industry but couldn't do so 'coz "Pharmaceutical companies in India don't hire doctors as Product Managers, Training Managers, Business Development Managers etc."
Is this true? Because in Pakistan it is a common practice to hire doctors in Pharmaceutical marketing and Business development departments. Don't you think only pharmacists should be considered in these places?
Anyway please tell me if there's such thing as not hiring Doctors in Pharma companies in india or else where in the world.
Thanks in advance!!

Dear Nida,
Yes, in India, pharmaceutical companies do hire MBBS doctors as Product Managers, Medical Coordinators, Training Managers, etc. There are even individuals who hold MBBS degrees and have completed an MBA, working in the Indian Pharma industry. Companies such as Astra, Cipla, Dr. Reddys, Cadilla, etc., offer such opportunities.

Hi Nida,
If we talk more specifically, the Indian pharma industry (Ethical product promotion) utilizes doctors to extend the product with proper medical justification such as technical references, indications (clinical usage), product positioning in terms of customers (doctors), dosage schedules, USPs (unique selling propositions), etc.
Doctors act as medical consultants where the product management department (PMD) coordinates with these medical consultants to evolve a marketing strategy, depending upon the stage of the product life cycle and the current market scenario of the company's product portfolio.
