In addition to the business meetings, there would be panel discussions with industry experts on topics such as India Sourced Generic Drugs-Global Expectations, Learning from Covid 19 Pandemic-Regulatory Enablers for Fast Track Approvals and Supply Chain Resiliency, and Regulatory preparedness for Healthcare Emergencies.

The DCGI will lead the discussions along with State and central regulators. This regulatory conclave will provide an opportunity for the Indian industry to interact with international regulators and Indian regulators with International regulators.
