Pharma Marketer and Split Personality
The life of the Pharma marketer has always been a juggling act (Two hands, Three balls, Endless Effect! A Lifetime of Performance) of managing multiple aspects with adept emotional and mental skill sets. All this, while trying to remain sane in a dynamic and confusing world. As the marketer takes time to make sense of his environment, he attempts to find answers to perennial marketing questions such as:
How is the campaign performing?
What are the new avenues to target customers?
Is the messaging, right?
Are the vendors on track with their deliverables?
Are metrics that we track insightful?
Smell of the Workplace – Wonderful Metaphor to Understand the Context of Performance
In a World Economic Forum talk, Professor Sumantra Ghosal - the founding Dean of the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad - talked about the "Smell of the Workplace" as a metaphor to describe the need for creating a new context that enables employees to change their mindset from that of Constraint, Compliance, Control and Contract to that of Stretch, Discipline, Trust and Support.
“Sales at Any Cost” is Not Sustainable in the Long Run
For commercial organisations, profits are important. But it cannot be 'at any cost' and certainly not at the cost of human life. As healthcare providers helping to mitigate the pain and misery of millions of human beings, we need to remember that charity begins at home.

The Pill is Now a Commodity – Can ‘Beyond the Pill’ Models Work in India?
The pill is now a commodity that many of these companies provide at heavy discounts, making money off everything ‘beyond the pill’. Investors are betting heavily on the potential of technological innovation to transform the way healthcare is delivered.
The Economic Times reported that in 2021, India recorded investments of $77 billion across 1,266 deals including 164 large deals worth $58 billion. While the money reduced in 2022, the reason wasn’t a lack of faith in this business model.
Meanwhile, the pharmaceuticals industry that is most affected by this quiet but rapid change, is grappling with its entrenched culture. Its current business is so profitable that everything else pales in comparison.
‘Build, measure, learn, build again’ – a mantra of the health tech industry is alien to pharma that doesn’t learn, build or measure after launching a product.
Pharma also thinks of its customers as doctors alone and does precious little to connect with patients, or caregivers. People who are not sick do not feature on their radar at all. These are cultural values that keep pharma focused on the pill and discourage thinking beyond it.
A social media poll conducted by MedicinMan showed almost predictable responses. 100+ respondents who work in the pharma industry in India were quite clearly divided. 48% of them wanted to know what beyond the pill actually meant, while 23% wanted to know how to execute it.
The rest felt that the ultra-competitive environment in the Indian generics market required very high share-of-voice tactics (19%), or that their customers demanded product information (9%).
