WORK EXPERIENCE

1.6 months experience in Windlass Biotech Limited working on “ENHANCEMENT OF SOLUBILITY OF NIFEDIPINE BY SOLID DISPERSION METHOD”.

2.1 year of compounding, dispensing, labelling and packaging experience as a Pharmacist.

ACADEMICS

●Masters and Bachelors in Pharmacy

●Registered Pharmacist in India.

●Three-month internship at a renowned Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. (Dispensing, Production, Quality Control and Packaging Divisions).

ACHIEVEMENTS

●College topper in Bachelor of Pharmacy.

●Campus recruited by “Lifecell International” as a Relationship Executive.

●Winner in presentation at seminar organised by the “Advanced Institute of Pharmacy”.

●Participated in Industrial visit at “HiGlance Laboratories Pvt. Ltd”.

●ACADEMICS PROJECT DETAILS

●Master’s in Pharmacy:

Project on “ENHANCEMENT OF SOLUBILITY OF NIFEDIPINE BY SOLID DISPERSION METHOD” The objective of this research is to enhance the solubility of Nifedipine, in case of Sustained Release or Extended Release Tablets. During the enhancement of solubility, sufficient information about the physical & chemical properties of the drug substance, excipients used for increasing the solubility and the solubility enhancement process was gained.

●Bachelor’s in Pharmacy:

Project on “MARKET ANALYSIS OF ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUGS” with objective to assess the market trend of antiepileptic drug salts, dosage forms and brands available in market. Analyse the factors affecting sales of antiepileptic drugs. The findings obtained may be helpful for the pharmaceutical houses to gear up their marketing strategies to promote profitability. If the R & D unit of any pharmaceutical companies are developing a new product intended for patients suffering from epilepsy, the finding will help to design the product launching strategy.
