Mazumdar-Shaw’s bold biotech mission: Affordable, accessible healthcare
Description
Biotech entrepreneurs across Asia are navigating funding gaps, weak innovation ecosystems, and unpredictable regulatory systems. For many, these challenges make it difficult to scale science-led businesses and deliver affordable healthcare solutions.
In this episode, host Gautam Kumra, Chairman of McKinsey Asia, sits down with Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Founder & Chairperson, Biocon Group. They discuss how she overcame a lack of funding, limited infrastructure, and regulatory hurdles to build one of Asia’s first and most successful biotech companies — pioneering affordable biosimilars, shaping biotech policy in India, and scaling purpose-driven innovation from the ground up.
The episode also features McKinsey partner Cheryl SH Lim, and Director of Learning, CEO Institute, Jennifer Chiang.
