BBC World Service - Business Daily, Business Daily meets: Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw

Meet Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, founder of one of India’s largest pharmaceutical companies.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw tells us how being rejected by the male dominated brewing industry led her to start one of India’s leading pharmaceutical companies, Biocon.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw trained as a master brewer, but in late-1970s India she was rejected by the beer industry – it wasn’t seen as a job for a woman.  Undeterred, she put her scientific mind and entrepreneurial prowess to setting up what would become one of India’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Biocon. She tells Rahul Tandon about her humble beginnings in business, overcoming challenges and inspiring other female entrepreneurs.
