On Monday, Roche Pharma announced the launch of its cutting-edge Global Analytics and Technology Centers of Excellence (GATE) here. This will be its second such center in India, with the goal of providing innovative data-driven solutions.
According to a press release from IT minister KT Rama Rao’s office, the new Roche Pharma space will collaborate with Roche’s global affiliates to advance knowledge and understanding of the healthcare space. The new center will also help to improve customer engagement, patient experience, and business outcomes, according to the company.
GATE will have a total headcount of 100 by the end of 2022, thanks to the latest expansion, and there are plans for further growth. The announcement was made following a meeting between Minister KTR and V. Simpson Emmanuel, managing director and CEO of Roche Pharma. The meeting was also attended by Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary (Industries and Commerce), and Shakthi M Nagappan, Director for Life Sciences, Telangana.
KTR met Roche’s chairman, Christoph Franz, both at the World Economic Forum in 2020 and earlier this year in May. Roche, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, is the world’s largest biotech company, producing medicines in oncology, immunology, infectious diseases, ophthalmology, and central nervous system diseases.
Roche is also a world leader in in vitro diagnostics and tissue-based cancer diagnostics, as well as a diabetes management frontrunner.
Founded in 1896, the company has a revenue of approximately USD 62 Bn and employs over 100,000 people worldwide.
“I’m delighted to welcome Roche Pharma to Hyderabad, as they join the long list of marquee global companies, which have chosen Hyderabad to establish their global capability centers. Hyderabad has the best state-supported business ecosystems in the country and offers a unique blend of the highly skilled talent pool, state of the art infrastructure and best quality of living in the country, thereby making us the preferred destination for Global Innovation and Capability Centers,” said KTR.
