Growth Outlook
Moderate — India's life-science job market is bifurcated: pharma / biotech / bioinformatics lanes growing fast (Biocon, Syngene, Bharat Biotech, MedGenome, Strand); pure-academic and conservation lanes stable but bottlenecked. Best lanes are computational biology, bioinformatics, structural biology, vaccine R&D and clinical / translational research.
