India is gearing up to become one of the most prominent players in the global life sciences space, powered by its recent economic growth and a desire to add biotechnology to its portfolio. But still, most of the biotech research and educational institutes across the country are deprived of availing quality products and services in the fastest possible timely mannered. The reason may be one followed by multiple others. But the most significant among many is the geographical terrain or the physical diversity. And, North-eastern State of India is no exception. The region lags far behind in bringing in the most advanced, reliable and affordable technologies and research aspects right at the doorstep of the lifescience Research and diagnostic laboratories.

One such company that was quite quick to trigger the huge underlying gap and emerged with the promises to fetch the best-in-class products & services from some of the world's leading companies direct to them is Guwahati based Molbiogen. A first-of-its-kind company in the Life Sciences space in Northeastern India, Molbiogen aspires to establish itself as a leading laboratory solution provider across the East and NE region of the country.

“As a postgraduate in Agriculture biotechnology with acquiring an

Executive Business Management Program degree from IIM Calcutta, I began my professional career working with some of the prime diagnostic and lifescience companies. During my last stints at Roche, I was able to figure out the dearth and thought of starting something of my own that could fill the gaps pertaining to meet the unmet needs. In 2013, Molbiogen came into existence,” speaks Pranjal Sharma, Director, Molbiogen.
