Biocon marked its 46th Founder’s Day with a series of inspiring and unifying events that celebrated its legacy, purpose, and vision for the future. These included opening of an Experience Centre.
The Biocon Experience Center is dedicated to the Late John Shaw, former vice chairman of Biocon Group, who played a very important role in building the company, ensuring the highest levels of corporate governance, as well as contributing to the financial and strategic development of the Group.
The celebrations began with the unveiling of the Biocon Anthem, a composition brought to life by the talent and passion of over 500 Bioconites from across the globe. The anthem, composed by Grammy Award winner Ricky Kej, representing the company’s innovation, excellence, and creating a healthier world.
This was followed by the John Shaw Walkathon: 10 Million Steps for Cancer by Biocon Group chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, held at Biocon Park.
Speaking on the occasion, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw said: “On this special occasion of Biocon's 46th Founder's Day, I take immense pride in celebrating our journey as a team that has consistently strived to not just transforming healthcare but also contributing meaningfully to nation-building. When I founded Biocon, one of my goals was to prevent brain drain and create meaningful opportunities within India.
Today, that vision has come to life as we have built a global brand recognized for excellence in research, world-class manufacturing, and providing affordable access to life-saving medicines. Team Biocon is more than a workplace; it’s a community that works together, dreams together, and succeeds together. Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to continue making a difference to global health, touch patients' lives, and create a healthier planet for all, added Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw.
The seventh edition of the Utkarsh Leadership Talk Series was also organized to mark this special day. Biocon welcomed K.N. Radhakrishnan, director and CEO, TVS Motor Company, who delivered an inspiring talk on ‘Elevating Excellence.’ The Utkarsh Talk Series, organized by the Biocon Group Centre of Operational Excellence (CoE), reaffirms the commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement through the John Shaw Excellence Model (JSEM), which enables the Group’s strategic business units to compete for the annual John Shaw Excellence Awards, stated the company’s communication note.
