New Delhi, January 13, 2015: Piramal Enterprises' Pharma Solution division, a global leader in contract development and manufacturing (CDMO), was a big winner in the recent CMO Leadership Awards held in Boston, USA, securing four awards in three key categories: Quality, Reliability, & Regulatory. Respondents from Big Pharma, Mid-sized and Specialty Pharma, and Emerging Pharma, voted Piramal to be amongst the top 10% in these categories.
The CMO Leadership Awards by Life Science Leader magazine is based on industry leading research conducted by Nice Insight. Nice insights surveys over 11,000 industry executives - buyers of outsourced services annually, to determine perception and awareness scores of CMOs for five different attributes (i.e. Innovation, Productivity, Quality, Regulatory, and Reliability). The four categories in which the Pharma Solution division has won are:
Reliability for Big Pharma
Reliability for Mid-Size & Specialty Pharma
Regulatory for Mid-Size & Specialty Pharma
Quality for Emerging Pharma
Companies achieving top 20 percentile perception scores across these 5 attributes are recognized for their achievement.
For 2015, the research respondents were broken in to 5 categories: Big Pharma (BP), Mid-Size & Specialty Pharma (MP), Emerging Pharma (EP), Biotech (BT) and Emerging Biotech (EBT). The top 10% in each of these above categories were chosen as winners of CMO leadership awards. Unlike other industry awards, which are given based on a subjective voting or nomination process, the only votes that count towards the CRO/CMO Leadership Awards are those of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies using CRO/CMO services. The research respondents of all categories voted Piramal Enterprises’ Pharma Solution division to be amongst the top 10% in these categories.
Vivek Sharma, CEO – Piramal Pharma Solutions said, “We are delighted to receive this prestigious award and to be recognized in multiple areas and categories. The award serves as a validation of our efforts to keep the customer as the focal point, while emphasizing on project ownership, time delivery and commitment towards quality.

Receiving these awards also showcase our company values of entrepreneurship, expertise and trusteeship.”
