Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Peter, covering:

• Why did Peter fall in love with the pharma sector? Why did he decide to leave McKinsey and jump into PE?
• The value of living and working in different places, and why you should jump at the chance if you ever get the opportunity to do it
• Avoiding the ‘peanut butter strategy’ and divesting non-core activities to prioritize truly
• Piramal’s secret sauce of differentiating ‘magnets’ that attract new clients, and the importance of genuinely listening to customers
• The elements that make India such a superpower drive the belief that ‘this is India’s century’
• Supply chain security and resiliency, ‘friend-shoring’ and onshoring, and preparing for uncertainty and change
