Chapter 615 Pizza Hut in Mumbai, Invincible in Delhi

Mumbai, India……

In front of the square of Sun Pharmaceutical Group, the standing statue is often decorated with garlands.

There are not many respected entrepreneurs in India, but Mr. Shahan is one of them.

Sun Pharmaceuticals has grown in recent years and is currently in the transformation stage. Since the introduction of capital from the Adani Group, it has become a different scene.

A foreign pharmaceutical group authorized the production of a brand new anti-cancer drug here.

This drug is very popular in India and even exported to China.

This pharmaceutical group also gained a certain reputation in China for a while.

In addition to the production of flotaxin, which was once banned, Sun Pharmaceutical's main product is tinib drugs.

This is a series of targeted drugs.

Obviously they are doing a job that will lead to death, but even if they are working as mercenaries or coming here as guinea pigs, the people at the bottom still have to face unimaginable involution.

Its main products include gefitinib, erlotinib, and lapatinib, which are commonly used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and thyroid cancer.

Of course, it's not like they didn't know the risks when they came here, because these people knew very well that the job they signed up for here was to test medicines.

Because many people actually have no hope for their own life, and what they are looking forward to is their next life.

Because from a legal perspective, just approving clinical drug trials is a very risky matter from a moral perspective.

So sometimes people don't pay much attention to their own life and death. They save the money to buy milk and honey and smear them on the statues and offer them to the gods.

However, in India, this risk does not seem to be as high as imagined.

But he can only eat bad food.

People with a history of drug use or drug abuse, or people with various infectious diseases and underlying diseases are not allowed to participate.

……

Because this is a country that firmly believes in the caste system that one can transform from a lower-class person to a higher-class person by being reincarnated 88 times.

Because the physical conditions of these people are relatively complex, it is impossible to judge whether the medicine is effective.

Sometimes it's like those Gorkha people in Nepal.

The candidates who can participate in clinical trials are very strict. They will first come to the office for preliminary registration. Then after these people fill in the basic information, they will be asked to go to the relevant cooperative hospitals for a full-body physical examination.

But about 3 kilometers away from the headquarters of the pharmaceutical factory, there is an office of Sun Pharmaceuticals. Poor people coming out of the slums gather here every day, waiting to be screened here.

Therefore, it is not as easy as imagined to select suitable candidates from the slums to take medicine.

This is why drug development often lasts many years.

Only after a drug has been tested on humans and confirmed to be safe can it be approved for marketing by the drug regulatory agencies of various countries.

Once selected, it means free room and board for several months, and even a salary.

People believe that as long as they live through the hardships of this life and complete reincarnation again and again, they may become a noble Brahmin in the next life.

This is a rule in the industry. Drugs that have not passed Phase 3 clinical trials are not considered reliable drugs.

They knew there were risks, but when they learned they were hired, these people felt so lucky.

They never thought that they might lose their lives by becoming mercenaries or experimental subjects.

All they think about is making enough money to provide for their families, or to be able to pay off their debts.

……

In recent days, Sun Pharmaceutical has suddenly revealed many requests for clinical trial quotas. In an instant, the news spread throughout the slums of Mumbai.

Many men and women want to come here and live a life where they don't have to work hard, they can have a stable income, and they can live in comfortable and clean housing.

So early in the morning, the place was even busier than usual.

The snack sellers on the street were shouting. In order to celebrate their good luck, someone in the queue asked for a snack in advance, then put it on their hands and ate it one by one.

Some people resist the temptation of delicious food.

They looked at the long queue, squatting or sitting.

It took a long time to meet the people in the office who gave them the forms.

Some people are illiterate, so they have to have someone to assist them, or they have to find someone to help them.

After filling out the form, they will take the registration form and consciously go to the hospital, and then find a way to get the hospital's physical examination report.

In order to get such a job, no one tries to give doctors some benefits.

In the past few years, Sun Pharmaceutical Group had severely fired some doctors who committed crimes and even sent these people to prison.

Only then did this trend be curbed.

The reason is that a new drug of Sun Pharmaceutical was found to have falsified phase 3 clinical trial data after it was delivered to the United States. This incident cost Sun Pharmaceutical a large amount of fines.

But even so, it still doesn't stop these people from being clever.

So after completing the initial inspection of the hospital, there is another layer of inspection within the pharmaceutical group.

That is to resolutely check those who are qualified to conduct experiments. If there is any problem, they will be kicked out immediately.

……

Unlike offices near slums, there are long lines.

At this time, at the airport, a plane taking off from Lin'an and landing in Mumbai had just landed.

There is an epidemic here. When I walked out of the passenger passage of the airport, I saw someone holding a sign written in Chinese.

These people are employees of Sun Pharmaceutical Group.

In the past few days, the group's top management suddenly assigned a new task, which was to conduct preliminary testing of a new drug.

So the person responsible for picking up the plane came here.

Seeing two East Asian faces getting off the plane, the Indian who picked them up felt a little confused, because in the past, only white people came here.

He struggled to communicate with the other party in broken English, and then took several people who came with him to the hotel.

At the same time, the senior executives of Sun Pharmaceutical were also waiting at the hotel for a long time.

"This is Professor Yamanaka!"

"I have admired your name for a long time. I don't know how long you will stay in Mumbai this time. If you have time, IIT hopes to invite you to give a lecture..."

"I'm honored, but regarding clinical trials..."

"We are selecting suitable experimental groups according to your arrangement..."

"There won't be any risk!"

"Professor, this is India! Since joining the WTO in 1995, our pharmaceutical companies have continued to receive patent infringement lawsuits from foreign countries, but we can proudly say that our legal team has never lost a lawsuit, no matter whether it is in Mumbai is still in Delhi! And those pharmaceutical companies have not stopped us yet, because they also need India’s drug testing industry!”

“Thank you, I have heard of your titles in the pharmaceutical industry, Pizza Hut in Mumbai, Unrivaled in Delhi!”
