 The 7th Annual Pharma Manufacturing and Automation Convention 2025 will be taking place on October 8 and 9 at Hotel Novotel HICC, Hyderabad, uniting industry pioneers, manufacturing leaders, and future-ready teams to rethink how India’s pharmaceutical sector works, grows, and thrives in building Smart Plants and Smarter Teams.
This year’s convention goes beyond buzzwords like digital transformation and AI adoption. Its theme, ‘Lean, Clean, and Digitally Mean,’ captures the spirit of building modern plants and empowered teams.
1.? ?‘Lean’- focuses on advancing lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste, boost productivity, and drive cost efficiency.
2.? ‘Clean’- means developing defined and precise processes that ensure consistent quality and compliance.
3.? ‘Digitally Mean’- represents the smart, thoughtful adoption of digital technologies, with critical thinking embedded in every upgrade and automation plan.
The transformation of pharma in this program puts the spotlight on refining processes before automating, developing a culture of critical thinking, and investing in people as much as technology. Attendees will gain practical insights on how to nurture future-ready workforces, encourage continuous upskilling, and build agile teams that can confidently adapt to evolving regulations, technologies, and market demands.
Across two days, participants will hear from experts, industry case studies, and trailblazers who have successfully blended automation with robust process design and workforce empowerment. Sessions will cover process mapping, cost optimisation, data-driven decision-making, cybersecurity, and sustainable manufacturing practices, all aimed at balancing profitability with the highest standards of quality.
This forward-thinking convention is co-located with the prestigious Pharma Manufacturing and Automation Excellence Awards 2025, an evening of celebration on October 9 that honours companies and professionals raising the bar for operational excellence, talent development, and innovation in the industry.
