About PV FUSION:
It’s a flagship symposium organized by Virtue Insight & Pivot Path (Demerged Entity of Arcolab) that provides platform for discussion on advancements in pharmacovigilance, changing regulatory expectations, presenting peer case studies, impact of technology on workflows, processes & systems, efficiencies, and scale etc. The program is suitable primarily for PV senior leadership and operational leaders, PV technology providers, PV Quality & PV IT professionals.
Upcoming 2nd Edition:
The theme at the second edition: Program theme: ‘Changing PV Landscape in India: Elevating Patient Safety, Enabling Strategic Outcomes’
Indian pharmaceutical companies have become the global hub in supply in generic medicines and vaccines. Patient safety has always been of paramount importance in this industry more so as the companies expand its footprint across therapeutic areas and geographies. Indian pharma companies have evolved in pharmacovigilance, transforming it from reactive compliance function into a proactive managed risk function. As global regulations and health authority expectations intensify, PV is finding its place—shaping market entry strategies, portfolio decisions, business development, patient programs, and enterprise-wide compliance vision.
Over the few years, technology-driven transformation has further revolutionized PV operations—boosting compliance, efficiency, and quality, and redefining how organizations safeguard patient safety in a dynamic global landscape.
In the second edition of PV Fusion, we delved upon changing PV landscape in India driven by shifting operational models, expansion to broader and newer therapeutic areas, technology intervention, wide spread talent pool, globalization of Indian companies and localization of MNCs through its GCC etc.
