Today, Waters Corporation has reached a significant milestone with the inauguration of its Global Capability Center (GCC) in Bangalore. CNBC-TV18's Paromita Chatterjee met with Dr. Udit Batra, President and CEO, and T. Anil Kumar, General Manager of Waters India at the GCC to better understand how this move reflects the company’s commitment to driving advancements in analytical instruments and solutions for science globally.
The GCC is positioned as a strategic center for collaboration, bringing together diverse development teams to enhance synergy of talent and engage directly with customers. Dr. Batra sees Bangalore as a hotbed of technological talent, making it an ideal location to harness innovation in key areas of technology such as AI, machine learning and data analytics.
As part of its strategic vision, Waters’ foray into creating more advanced analytical methods and instruments to aid in development and testing of biosimilars and biologics, acknowledges the evolving landscape of the pharmaceutical industry. They are already in conversations with policy makers and manufacturers, creating an ecosystem that will help cement the efficacy and safety of biosimilars and biologics emerging from India.
Beyond its technological innovations, Waters places strong emphasis on inclusivity and sustainability. The company goes beyond being a mere technology provider, fostering an inclusive culture and adopting sustainable practices to minimise its environmental impact. The integration of generative AI and machine learning points to Waters Corporation's commitment to simplifying complex procedures and aligning with one of the company’s larger goals to democratise innovation in, and access to, life-changing medicines.
However, the company's mission extends beyond the medical sciences. As Dr. Udit Batra said, "We're a set of engineers, scientists and economists that have come together in a terrific mission: we want to make sure that the food that we eat is safe, that the medicines that we're consuming are of the highest quality, that the batteries in our vehicles are as safe as anything can be… this is only possible if we create an environment that is inclusive and where people can collaborate and bring the best ideas to the table to create tools and software that leave our world better than we found it."
