I developed a natural inclination to Biology & Chemistry and started doing self-study on these subjects with great interest.

In class 11th when we had to submit biology project, I made a 3D structure of cell membrane which was adjudicated the best project in the class and this was the only model that was kept in the biology lab by my lady biology teacher, Tandon Madam. (1990-Kendriya Vidyalaya, 1 STC Jabalpur). In class 12th (1991-Kendriya Vidyalaya, Cantonment Area Cannanore) I liked my biology teacher Ms.Srilekha Kumaran very much. In one of the class tests I did very well with my paper. This paper I had written with my applied thought elaborating each answer in depth. After correction of the paper my biology teacher called me and told that I had great capacity of understanding the subject “biology” and I should enhance this power continuously. She said that she was surprised to see the way I had written the paper. She said she never expected this out of me. This was the turning point in my life towards self-discovery. I wrote my 12th board with just 2 months of continuous self-study, understanding each subject that is biology, chemistry and physics in depth. I scored highest in Biology in the board exams among all my papers.

My liking for Biology and Chemistry helped me to understand each subject in my pharmacy course in depth and apply it in my theory and practical examinations. I developed great liking for Human physiology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry & Microbiology. I had great equations with my pharmacology professor Mr. David Banjee and I had great fascination for my analytical chemistry professor Ms. Krishna priya.

So one eye was the “eye of science” and the second eye became the “eye of business management”.

Next 8 & ½ years in the industry were just like magic in my life. I have been traveling my life’s path with great focus. I acquired great management and scientific insights in these years, which I had applied throughout my career to “achieve results of magical proportions”. These were the years where I developed a deep interest and experience in path breaking management principles like “execution” as well as great scientific abilities to understand and communicate “intrinsic strengths” of a pharmaceutical molecule in depth.

Somehow new molecules and drugs just came in my life waiting to be explored and to be made into big brands in the last 8 & ½ years of my career. I cannot believe now that I was somehow instrumental in turning the NSAID market upside down in India. I have been also associated with cardiac medicine very closely and even during handling NSAIDs in my last assignment, the positive turn around came for the NSAID brand (Aceclofenac) that I was handling because of my identification of the cardiac side effects of a class of NSAIDs called as COXIBs and attacking it directly with all international scientific evidence meanwhile also positioning the unique safety and efficacy of Aceclofenac as a NSAID with more than 10 years of clinical evidence.
