About the summit
Where India's pharma decade gets written.
Now in its 14th edition, the Indian Pharma Summit brings together CXOs from the country's top 50 drugmakers, CDSCO and US-FDA leadership, and the venture funds writing the next chapter of life sciences.
From Goa to Hyderabad to Sikkim, the summit has tracked every shift in our industry — biosimilars, API self-reliance, CDMO build-out, and now AI-led discovery. Mumbai 2026 is where we set the agenda for the next three years.
Expect frank stage conversations, a 9,000 sqm exhibition hall, two parallel C-suite roundtables, and the kind of corridor conversations that turn into LOIs by Friday.
