I started working in industrial biotechnology in Reliance Life Sciences and later moved to Reliance Industries Ltd. I have been steering the development of several bioprocesses to make biofuels, biopolymers and high value biochemicals. Contrary to common industry practices, Reliance gives a lot of freedom to experiment within the realms of a project, which really motivates one to excel. We are given a platform to flourish and encouraged to patent and publish our work - a major achievement for every scientist.
Being part of a company with very diverse businesses also provides exposure to areas over and above regular work. In addition, my mentors have always given me confidence to challenge the status quo. As a leader in biology, I can say with confidence that Reliance breaks the industry norm and empowers its employees to do the same.
