Pharmaceutical and Healthcare FAQs
Frequently asked questions
India's pharmaceutical industry exports extensively, so regulatory affairs professionals often need to navigate approval processes for the US FDA, EMA, and other international bodies, not just India's CDSCO.
Standard clinical operations roles can often be filled within 4 to 6 weeks. Specialised regulatory or manufacturing quality roles may take longer given the smaller qualified candidate pool.
This depends on the role, but familiarity with CDSCO requirements is typically expected, with additional US FDA or EMA knowledge valuable for export-focused manufacturing roles.
Yes. PERSOL India places both permanent and contract professionals, including project-based clinical trial and R&D resourcing.
Given how specialised and regulated this sector is, a recruiter who understands both domestic and international regulatory requirements can save significant time versus screening candidates without that context.
