INTRODUCTION
The Indian Pharmaceuticals sector has come a long way, being almost non-existing during
1970, to a prominent provider of health care products, meeting almost 95% of country‟s
pharmaceutical needs. London research company Global Insight estimates that India‟s share
of the global generics market will have risen from 4% to 33% by 2007. Most of the players in
the market are small-to-medium enterprises; 250 of the largest companies control 70% of the
Indian market. India‟s US$ 3.1 billion pharmaceutical industry is growing at the rate of 14
percent per year. It is one of the largest and most advanced among the developing countries.
The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry today is in the front rank of India‟s science-based
industries with wide ranging capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and
technology. A highly organized sector, the Indian Pharma Industry is estimated to be worth $
4.5 billion, growing at about 8 to 9 percent annually. It ranks very high in the third world, in
terms of technology, quality and range of medicines manufactured. From simple headache
pills to sophisticated antibiotics and complex cardiac compounds, almost every type of
medicine is now made indigenously. Globally, the Indian industry ranks 4th in terms of
volume and 13th in terms of value & India are also one of the top 5 Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredient (API) producers. It ranks 17th with respect to exports value of bulk actives &
dosage. Indian pharma has been relying on reverse engineering to copy international drugs.
However, it has started realizing the importance of R&D &developmental skills to tap the
US/EU markets which has led to rise in export figures of the companies. The opportunities
for the Indian players lie in both manufacturing & R&D services. The industry has been
discussed in three phases in much research report; however, the post 2005 era will be covered
in this project. The year 2005 saw a series of development for the Indian pharmaceutical
players like implementation of VAT, shift from excise based levy to MRP based levy &
recognition of product patents. While the process patent regime helped in the development of
Indian pharma in the generic drugs sector, the product patent regime has restored the
confidence of the MNCs in the Indian market. In the generic field $45 bn drugs are expected
to loose their patents protection, opening up huge opportunity for the Indian pharma
companies in the generic field.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry has a unique amalgamation of three critical factors which
Make it so attractive for investment thereby adding impetus to growth.
• Price controls
India has discovered the world market. Since the end of the 1980s India has been
exporting more pharmaceuticals than it imports. Over the last ten years the export surplus has
widened from EUR 370 m to EUR 2 bn. At 32% in 2006, the export ratio was about twice as
high as in 1996 and will likely rise further in the coming years (Germany: 55% at present).
New patent law necessitated reorientation. Legal changes in India in 2005 made it
considerably more difficult to produce “new” generics. Foreign pharmaceuticals, which enjoy
20 years of patent protection, can no longer be copied by means of alternative production
procedures and sold in the domestic market. Hence, a reorientation was required in India‟s
pharmaceutical industry. It now focuses on drugs developed in-house and contract research or
contract production for western drug makers.
Strong growth continues. Up until 2015, we expect pharmaceutical sales to rise by 8% p.a.
to just under EUR 20 bn, compared with an increase of 6% in the world as a whole and 5% in
Germany. But even then, India‟s share in the world pharmaceutical market would only come
to slightly over 2% (Germany: 7%). In Asia, India looks set to lose market share, as other
Asian countries are registering Booming sales. India is gaining in importance as a
manufacturer of pharmaceuticals. Between 1996 and 2006, nominal sales of pharmaceuticals
were up 9% per annum and thus expanded much faster than the global pharmaceutical.

ADVANTAGE TO INDIA
Competent workforce: India has a pool of personnel with high managerial and technical
competence as also skilled workforce. It has an educated work force and English is
commonly used. Professional services are easily available.
Cost-effective chemical synthesis: Its track record of development, particularly in the area
of improved cost-beneficial chemical synthesis for various drug molecules is excellent. It
provides a wide variety of bulk drugs and exports sophisticated bulk drugs.
Globalization: The country is committed to a free market economy and globalization. Above
all, it has a 70 million middle class market, which is continuously growing.
Consolidation: For the first time in many years, the international pharmaceutical industry is
finding great opportunities in India. The process of consolidation, which has become a
generalized phenomenon in the world pharmaceutical industry, has started taking place in
India.
(Source: www.ibef.org)
India's US$ 3.1 billion pharmaceutical industry is growing at the rate of 14 percent per year.
It is one of the largest and most advanced among the developing countries.
Over 20,000 registered pharmaceutical manufacturers exist in the country. The domestic
T&D is vital part of the human resource development. It is assuming ever important role in
wake of the advancement of technology which has resulted in ever increasing competition,
rise in customer‟s expectation of quality and service and a subsequent need to lower costs. It
is also become more important globally in order to prepare workers for new jobs.
The Company has established a “Procedure for Training”. Through this procedure, the
training needs of personnel are identified to make them competent for carrying out their
activities. The controls exercised for making the personnel competent are:
To determine the required minimum competence for the personnel performing work affecting
product quality in terms of criticality of the process through defined “Job Description”
To provide structured/unstructured training (i.e. on job training/coaching under the
supervision of their seniors) to the identified personnel to satisfy and meet their training
needs;
To evaluate, after a defined period, the effectiveness of the structured / unstructured training
provided to know the progress in their achievements,
To ensure that the company personnel are fully aware of the relevance and the importance of
their activities including their involvement and contribution to the achievement for the
identified quality objectives, and
Training:
Training is an act of increasing and imparting the knowledge and skill of a worker for doing
a certain job. In other words, training is an organized procedure by which people acquire
knowledge or skill for a definite purpose.
Employee training
A learning experience designed to achieve a relatively permanent change in an
individual that will improve the ability to perform on the job.
Training is more present-day oriented; it focuses on individuals‟ current jobs,
enhancing those specific skills and abilities to immediately perform their jobs.
Training helps the employee do their current job.
The benefits of training may extend throughout a person‟s career and help develop that
person for future responsibilities.
Employee development
“Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful
one is a lot of hard work.” — Stephen King.
As a leader, you face the irony of having to keep your team members happy by developing
their skills and offering opportunities for advancement, only to have most move on as soon as
they have an even better opportunity. But if you don‟t develop your folks, you won‟t be able
to advance, either, because there‟s no one to replace you. Employee development, then
becomes for any ambitious team. You‟ll need to consistently provide all the development
your team members need now or might need soon to do their jobs productively.
These tips will help you get started down that road.

In Pareek and Rao's (1981) Model, training department was treated as one of the important
subsystems. According to Pattnayak (1998), the effectiveness of HRD activities in Indian
organization depend to a great extent on training needs assessment and evaluation of training
effectiveness. He adds that to make the organization productive, it is essential that the
individual skill be developed to achieve and fulfill the organizational needs. In this critical
context, HRD, particularly training and development has an important role to play.
P.N. Singh (1989) in his book on "Training for Management Development' emphasizes on
the importance of training and management development activities in organization due to
rapid technological developments, change in style of management in recent years and
changing areas of responsibility for managers.
The development of high potential workers with the support of continuous training and
retraining is seen as a core element in the development of competitive advantage of the
organization by Kandula (2002).
Biswas (1998) conducted a study on factors affecting training effort and gave the following
findings: Firstly the training programs must be perceived as relevant for future career,
advancement, and secondly, people who have greater emotional attachment to the
organization are more likely to put in greater effort then others in the organization. Another
major finding was that the decision involvement resulted in higher levels of perceived career
utility, which, intern, affected learning efforts, when the employees were given an
opportunity to participate in the training decision they perceived it as more beneficial to their
career then when they were not given this opportunity. The finding that decision -source
credibility affects perceived career utility and commitment is consistent with a large body of
research conducted in performance appraisal feedback (e.g., Ilgen, Fisher and Taylor). These
findings suggest that organization should determine how employees view their superiors'
credibility. The superior should ensure that they have adequate knowledge about their
subordinate's' level of competency and training needs. Moreover, superior should build up
reputation for fairness and trustworthiness and concern for the future for the subordinates.
Rangnekar (1976) stressed that the basic problems of training arises because of an untrainable
top, a confused middle and a frustrated bottom. However, the situation is improving causing
commitment to training from the top management. Maheshwari (1971) collected data on
managers from banking institutions and found training program less effective with respect to their
contribution to job performance they did endorse the usefulness of formal training.
According to the Edwin B Flippo, “Training is the act of increasing knowledge and skills of
an employee for doing a particular job.” (Source: Personnel Management, McGraw Hill; 6th
Edition, 1984)
The term „training‟ indicates the process involved in improving the aptitudes, skills and
abilities of the employees to perform specific jobs. Training helps in updating old talents and
developing new ones. „Successful candidates placed on the jobs need training to perform their
duties effectively‟.
(Source: Aswathappa, K. Human resource and Personnel Management, New Delhi: Tata
Mcgraw - Hill Publishing Company Limited, 2000, p.189)
The principal objective of training is to make sure the availability of a skilled and willing
workforce to the organization. In addition to that, there are four other objectives: Individual,
Organizational, Functional, and Social.
2.3 Types of Training and Development Programs which are provided to the Employee:
Different practices are followed in different industries and in different organizations too. So,
the need of training and development programs is depending up on the requirements of the
job profile. Therefore there are various types of programs shared by different authors. The
types of training and development programs are as follows:
Types of Training:-
On-the-Job Training:
1. Job Instructions
2. Apprenticeship & Coaching
3. Job Rotation
4. Committee Assignment
5. Internship Training
6. Training through step by step
Programmed Instructions
- Class Room Lectures
- Simulation Exercises
2.5 Development:
Employee Development Programs are designed to meet specific objectives, which contribute
to both employee and organizational effectiveness. There are several steps in the process of
management development. These includes reviewing organizational objectives, evaluating
the organization‟s current management resources, determining individual needs, designing
and implementing development programs and evaluating the effectiveness of these programs
and measuring the impact of training on participants quality of work life. In simple way, it
can be denoted as per the following formula.
Table 2.1
Author and Opinions of different authors regarding Training &
Year Development
Training improves a person‟s skill at a task. Training helps in socially,
Oatey (1970) intellectually and mentally developing an employee, which is very essential in
facilitating not only the level of productivity but also the development of
personnel in any organization.
Yoder (1970) Training and development in today‟s employment setting is far more appropriate
than training alone since human resources can exert their full potentials only
when the learning process goes for beyond the simple routine.
Hesseling (1971) Training is a sequence of experiences or opportunities designed to modify
behavior in order to attain a stated objective.
Kane (1986) If the training and development function is to be effective in the future, it will
need to move beyond its concern with techniques and traditional roles. He
describes the strategic approaches that the organization can take to training and
development, and suggests that the choice of approach should be based on an
analysis of the organization‟s needs, management and staff attitudes and beliefs,
and the level of resources that can be committed. This more strategic view-point
should be of use in assessing current efforts as well as when planning for the
future.
Raymond (1986) The influences of trainees‟ characteristics on training effectiveness have focused
on the level of ability necessary to learn program content. Motivational and
environmental influences of training effectiveness have received little
attention.This analysis integrates important motivational and situational factors
from organizational behavior theory and research into a model which describes
how trainees' attributes and attitudes may influence the effectiveness of training.
Adeniyi (1995) Staff training and development is a work activity that can make a very significant
contribution to the overall effectiveness and profitability of an organization.
Chris (1996) Training and development aim at developing competences such as technical,
human, conceptual and managerial for the furtherance of individual and
organization growth.

and Carvalho behaviour.

Talent as a resource is getting into perennial or perpetual short supply, as companies are
realizing its importance to drive their business. The whole process starts with attracting and
hiring highly skilled people, developing them to suit one‟s requirements, then properly
inducting and integrating them into the existing teams and all this, while not losing sight of
the existing talent. Analysis of the Talent Management and Talent Transformation Practices
in the field of Pharmaceutical industry has attracted many of the researchers and management
practitioners around the globe. In India, research in the field of talent management and talent
transformation practices has not taken up seriously when compared to the other countries and
it is still in the minimum level. However, the contributions available from the authors and the
researchers in India and other parts of the world in the area of talent management and talent
transformation practices with special reference to Pharmaceutical industry provide insight
into the solutions for the problem. To study the Talent Management and Talent
Transformation Practices in Pharmaceutical industry and also to test the validity of the
Talent Management as the name itself suggests is managing the ability, competency and
power of employees within an organization. The concept is not restricted to recruiting the
right candidate at the right time but it extends to exploring the hidden and unusual qualities of
employees and developing and nurturing them to get the desired results.
