JEGAN ISRAEL, Head of Quality & Compliance (General Manager), Zydus Group

I am a quality professional having 18-plus years of experience with a proven track record of excellence. I aim to set the strategies for overall quality operations, and cultural transformations to achieve compliance with sustained growth and profitability. I have vast experience working with regulatory bodies. I possess sound knowledge of the entire value chain from drug manufacturing to distribution including active pharmaceutical ingredients. I have an uncompromising commitment to quality and excellence.

I have always been purpose-driven and feel humbled to know that we serve patients daily. I am driven to ensure the culture that I work in is one of accountability and responsibility. I always believe that in the pharmaceutical environment, each day one has to bring their A-game to the workplace and this is done by communicating the purpose, the reasons why we do, what we do, empathy for the staff, and strict adherence to procedures beneficial for the end-user of our work who is a patient.
