Contract Research and Manufacturing Organization(CRAMO)at Thiruvananthapuram:

CRAMS (Contract Research And Manufacturing Services) is one of the fastest growing segments in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. It pertains to outsourcing research services/ manufacturing products to low-cost providers with world class standards, in line with international regulatory norms like the USFDA, Australian-TGA, UKMCA, and EMEA. Pharmaceutical multinationals have traditionally been outsourcing manufacture of intermediates, API’s and formulations

Increasing costs of R&D, coupled with low productivity and poor bottom lines, have forced major pharmaceutical companies worldwide to outsource part of their research and manufacturing activities to low-cost countries like INDIA. India soffers significant cost advantages over mature manufacturing hubs in Europe and North America. India has already emerged as one of the leading cost-competitive and quality manufacturing hubs for many global players including big pharma companies.
