Bio
Vinay Shah
I have had pleasure of working with Rahul for more than 9 years at Advanz Pharma. He is a fantastic Leader and a supportive Manager. Over the years, Rahul has successfully managed a variety of different projects viz. In-licensed, Development, Distribution and portfolio optimization bringing in high revenue for the company with timely product launches. Rahul has mastered Project management skills with his knowledge of Regulatory submissions, Manufacturing, Quality and Supply chain nuances of Pharma products. He has played a major role in strategising and executing various launches of New Products at Advanz. He has amazing Communication, Inter-personnel skills and problem solving nature which I have always admired. I have no hesitation in believing that Rahul would be an asset for a company he would work for in future. I wish him All the Very Best!

I had the pleasure to report directly to Rahul for more than 3 years at Concordia/Advanz Pharma and feel a profound admiration for him in a personal and professional manner. Rahul stands out for his (1) leadership, communication and interpersonal skills; (2) project management experience and broad technical knowledge. (1) Leadership, communication and interpersonal skills Rahul has the gift to build multidisciplinary teams in a multicultural environment, always keep the team highly committed and motivated, leading by example, instructs and gives clear guidelines and allows individuals to develop themselves personally and professionally. Despite the time pressure deadlines / high pressure projects we were involved in, Rahul was always available for his team, accessible and dedicated. (2) Project management experience and broad technical knowledge Rahul has a broad experience of pharmaceutical product development, manufacturing and commercialization which is highly valuable for the team and the organization when advice and solving problems are required. I am sure Rahul will be a tremendous asset for any growing organization within the pharmaceutical industry, and peers and partners will feel fortunate to work with him.
