Anand started his pharma consulting firm to help Indian pharmaceutical companies meet up regulatory challenges and compliance standards across the world. Under his sharp expertise and able leadership, the firm has been helping pharmaceutical firms grow their market base across the world while maintaining the highest product quality standards and procedures.
