  • 00:00:00
    everybody has a dream and a dream which
  • 00:00:02
    helps them make a lot of money but sadly
  • 00:00:05
    when they are not aware about the
  • 00:00:07
    pathway to make money then they suffer
  • 00:00:10
    or struggle and that is where they keep
  • 00:00:12
    complaining in the comment box there's
  • 00:00:14
    no scope in biotech but what if I tell
  • 00:00:15
    you many of you are not aware you can
  • 00:00:17
    make a lot of money from the biotch
  • 00:00:19
    industry if you know about these jobs
  • 00:00:22
    which I'm about to tell you today now
  • 00:00:24
    let me start by telling you that
  • 00:00:25
    probably you can earn more money by
  • 00:00:27
    selling alcohol in bangaluru than any of
  • 00:00:30
    these jobs which I'm probably going to
  • 00:00:31
    tell but then of course it is not
  • 00:00:33
    defensible in the future and you can be
  • 00:00:35
    easily replaced like our elders have
  • 00:00:36
    always told that do something which
  • 00:00:39
    helps you make a lot of money but at the
  • 00:00:41
    same time creates a lot of impact good
  • 00:00:43
    impact on the Society and also you
  • 00:00:46
    become Irreplaceable and that is where a
  • 00:00:49
    biotech job a specialized biotech job
  • 00:00:52
    comes into picture let me start by
  • 00:00:54
    telling you that if you don't have a
  • 00:00:56
    good understanding of the economy of how
  • 00:00:58
    the economy Works in this world then you
  • 00:01:00
    struggle anything which is slow will
  • 00:01:02
    give you less money let's talk about
  • 00:01:03
    farming sadly farming is the most
  • 00:01:06
    important part of our economy still
  • 00:01:07
    farmers are poor why because growing
  • 00:01:09
    crops Takes Time same way when you go to
  • 00:01:11
    wet lab or QA QC it is a slow process so
  • 00:01:15
    even though the biotech company will
  • 00:01:16
    make a lot of money you will stay poor
  • 00:01:19
    so even though you all have cze for wet
  • 00:01:21
    lab the real money is made where no
  • 00:01:23
    chemicals are touched Yes you heard me
  • 00:01:25
    right so that is where we are going to
  • 00:01:28
    talk about top 10 jobs in the biotech
  • 00:01:31
    sector which nobody's talking about but
  • 00:01:33
    has the potential to make more money
  • 00:01:35
    than anything else are you ready well
  • 00:01:38
    let's get started like I told you
  • 00:01:40
    without touching chemical if you can get
  • 00:01:43
    results faster then you can make more
  • 00:01:46
    money so obviously the first thing which
  • 00:01:48
    will come into your mind is
  • 00:01:49
    bioinformatics and artificial
  • 00:01:51
    intelligence you're doing the same thing
  • 00:01:53
    computational biology you're doing the
  • 00:01:55
    same thing what is done in wet lab but
  • 00:01:56
    in the dry lab it is hot because data
  • 00:01:59
    sets are EXP loading more data sets are
  • 00:02:01
    coming up because of all the tools which
  • 00:02:03
    we have today NGS genomic data it is
  • 00:02:05
    huge it is complex and there are less
  • 00:02:08
    skilled people to do what they what you
  • 00:02:10
    have to do so that is where we need more
  • 00:02:12
    industry leaders who can manage teams
  • 00:02:15
    and develop Innovative algorithms for
  • 00:02:18
    genomic analysis and personalized
  • 00:02:20
    medicine that is where a bioinformatics
  • 00:02:22
    and computational biology manager can do
  • 00:02:25
    wonders now the second job which you can
  • 00:02:28
    go again like I told you don't don't
  • 00:02:30
    touch the chemical but still earn more
  • 00:02:33
    which one is that Regulatory Affairs you
  • 00:02:35
    start as a Regulatory Affairs executive
  • 00:02:37
    you can go up to the director level you
  • 00:02:38
    have no idea how much money you can make
  • 00:02:40
    if you just know Regulatory Affairs
  • 00:02:42
    Regulatory Affairs is hard because it is
  • 00:02:44
    evolving worldwide everyday new
  • 00:02:46
    regulations are coming up and companies
  • 00:02:48
    need experts who can help them navigate
  • 00:02:51
    through the intricate approval process
  • 00:02:54
    ensuring that the products reach the
  • 00:02:56
    public faster safely and quickly and
  • 00:03:00
    that is why Regulatory Affairs is a hot
  • 00:03:03
    job now coming to the third one clinical
  • 00:03:05
    research clinical data managers clinical
  • 00:03:08
    data scientist that is where the next
  • 00:03:10
    money making idea is so you can become a
  • 00:03:13
    professional who can analyze vast amount
  • 00:03:15
    of clinical trials data not the regular
  • 00:03:18
    data clinical trials data driving
  • 00:03:20
    insights that shape drug development and
  • 00:03:22
    personalized therapy so that is where
  • 00:03:24
    you can make a lot of money did you
  • 00:03:25
    touch any chemical no you still in the
  • 00:03:27
    Biotech Industry yes and are you making
  • 00:03:29
    money a lot of tons of money now the
  • 00:03:31
    fourth one again specialized very less
  • 00:03:34
    professionals available that is why you
  • 00:03:36
    will make money and that is patent
  • 00:03:38
    attorney so as a patent lawyer
  • 00:03:40
    intellectual property of any company is
  • 00:03:42
    hot and biotech is super hot right you
  • 00:03:44
    need to be attorney who has technical
  • 00:03:46
    background with Biology or chemistry
  • 00:03:48
    projects and then you can become
  • 00:03:50
    invaluable you could you could be
  • 00:03:53
    helping companies draft their patent and
  • 00:03:55
    that is where you can become a patent
  • 00:03:57
    aty you can fight cases for patent
  • 00:03:59
    infringement will make a lot of money
  • 00:04:01
    you can even become a patent analyst so
  • 00:04:04
    you can go and look at the applications
  • 00:04:06
    of the for patent of these companies and
  • 00:04:08
    find out if they are drafted properly or
  • 00:04:10
    will they get rejected so that is also
  • 00:04:12
    hot but did we touch chemical no did we
  • 00:04:15
    go into research no but we made a lot of
  • 00:04:17
    money before I go to the next six let me
  • 00:04:19
    again tell you this this sector whatever
  • 00:04:22
    I'm telling you it's on the demand and
  • 00:04:24
    Supply whatever is you being taught in
  • 00:04:26
    the college you are being actually
  • 00:04:28
    groomed as a wet scientist but India no
  • 00:04:31
    longer needs a wet lab scientist the
  • 00:04:33
    world no longer needs a wet lab
  • 00:04:34
    scientist they want somebody who can do
  • 00:04:36
    other type of jobs and still make a lot
  • 00:04:39
    of money and they are ready to pay but
  • 00:04:41
    you need to have the right mindset the
  • 00:04:44
    right eyes for the price now moving
  • 00:04:47
    ahead the fifth one so that is synthetic
  • 00:04:49
    biology engineer or even protein
  • 00:04:51
    engineer so what do you do here
  • 00:04:52
    Innovative biological systems now these
  • 00:04:55
    Engineers are at the Forefront of
  • 00:04:57
    developing Next Generation Therapeutics
  • 00:04:59
    next generation biofuels and Next
  • 00:05:01
    Generation bio remediation have you
  • 00:05:04
    thought of a organ which is a synthetic
  • 00:05:06
    organ but seems like a real human organ
  • 00:05:09
    but on a large scale just like a human
  • 00:05:11
    lung sitting on a park bench which is
  • 00:05:13
    absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing
  • 00:05:15
    oxygen imagine that is the kind of power
  • 00:05:18
    synthetic biology has so synthetic
  • 00:05:20
    biology engineer that is the next demand
  • 00:05:23
    next place where you can make a lot of
  • 00:05:25
    money next one will be bioprocess
  • 00:05:27
    development manager now why it is hot is
  • 00:05:30
    because every company has a bioprocess
  • 00:05:32
    arm which is in biotech so you can help
  • 00:05:34
    them optimize the manufacturing process
  • 00:05:37
    you can make it faster because see in
  • 00:05:39
    the lab you did for you know a couple of
  • 00:05:41
    milligrams you could have that chemical
  • 00:05:43
    but now the idea is to make it or scale
  • 00:05:46
    it to say 100,000 um you know tablets
  • 00:05:50
    how do you do that that is where a
  • 00:05:52
    bioprocess engineer a bio process
  • 00:05:54
    manager comes into picture high paying
  • 00:05:56
    job but now we are into the wet lab but
  • 00:05:58
    still you're not touching chemicals
  • 00:05:59
    because you're optimizing the process
  • 00:06:01
    now the seventh one again something
  • 00:06:04
    related to maths but it bio what is that
  • 00:06:07
    bio statistician Beyond crunching
  • 00:06:10
    numbers you can be the expert who
  • 00:06:11
    designs robust experiments clinical
  • 00:06:13
    trials and you directly influence the
  • 00:06:16
    drug efficacy and safety outcomes and
  • 00:06:18
    that is one big thing you can be in if
  • 00:06:21
    your maths is good and if you're bio is
  • 00:06:24
    Good Very less people are like that
  • 00:06:25
    actually let me tell you so if you are
  • 00:06:27
    one you can get in as a bio statistician
  • 00:06:30
    in biotech and Pharma companies a lot of
  • 00:06:32
    money can be made because there are less
  • 00:06:34
    people who have both as good so you need
  • 00:06:37
    to have a good analytical brain logical
  • 00:06:39
    Concepts you can nail it now the eighth
  • 00:06:42
    one is Medical Science liar on now what
  • 00:06:44
    do you do you actually are into the
  • 00:06:47
    sales business which is not bad let me
  • 00:06:49
    again repeat getting into sales is not
  • 00:06:51
    bad what but what you're doing you're
  • 00:06:52
    acting as a bridge between the company
  • 00:06:55
    and the medical fraternity company and
  • 00:06:57
    the research fraternity you are
  • 00:06:59
    leveraging your scientific expertise to
  • 00:07:01
    drive product sales product adoption and
  • 00:07:04
    gain the critical feedback which you'll
  • 00:07:06
    go back and give to the scientist now
  • 00:07:08
    next one is again very interesting I
  • 00:07:10
    recently saw a 25 lakhs perum salary for
  • 00:07:14
    somebody who had 3 to five years of
  • 00:07:16
    experience in this okay and it was in
  • 00:07:18
    ernston young and they were recruiting
  • 00:07:20
    directly through biotechnica actually
  • 00:07:21
    what exactly they had is a biotech
  • 00:07:24
    Venture Capital analyst so why it is
  • 00:07:27
    hard because so many Venture capitalists
  • 00:07:29
    want want to invest into the biotech
  • 00:07:31
    sector but they lack the analytical
  • 00:07:33
    power they don't have the expertise so
  • 00:07:35
    somebody who can do that for them right
  • 00:07:38
    somebody who is a knack for business
  • 00:07:40
    somebody who understands biotech science
  • 00:07:42
    better and somebody who can evaluate
  • 00:07:44
    emerging biotech companies immersing
  • 00:07:46
    biotech ideas and you can influence
  • 00:07:49
    major investment decisions in these vure
  • 00:07:52
    capitalist forms imagine that's super
  • 00:07:54
    power but since they are going to invest
  • 00:07:56
    these are investors they'll pay you
  • 00:07:58
    anything if you can crack big
  • 00:08:00
    Investments for them now the 10th one
  • 00:08:02
    which I have for you is quality
  • 00:08:04
    assurance director for biotech
  • 00:08:06
    manufacturing now remember I didn't tell
  • 00:08:07
    you quality assurance executive that is
  • 00:08:10
    where you make less money but as you
  • 00:08:12
    grow in experience you ensure the
  • 00:08:14
    highest quality standards is delivered
  • 00:08:17
    in production of biotic products
  • 00:08:18
    biologics and in a non-negotiable way
  • 00:08:22
    compliant way ensuring that you
  • 00:08:24
    Safeguard consumer interest as well as
  • 00:08:26
    make sure that the FDA guidelines are
  • 00:08:28
    followed so that is very make a lot of
  • 00:08:30
    money hell lot of money so these were
  • 00:08:32
    the 10 um professions which I would I
  • 00:08:34
    wanted to share today now what is a
  • 00:08:37
    salary range which you can earn in these
  • 00:08:39
    it starts anywhere in between 6 lakhs
  • 00:08:41
    per that's a minimum and in the worst
  • 00:08:44
    case but it can go up to 1 CR perm
  • 00:08:48
    salary in fact if it is in US it can go
  • 00:08:50
    up to 25 crores perm Indian rupees if it
  • 00:08:53
    is in us but of course you'll get it in
  • 00:08:55
    Us dolls so that is the scope of these
  • 00:08:58
    you know 10 professions nobody talks
  • 00:09:01
    about it because they don't have
  • 00:09:02
    knowledge Academia has not got no degree
  • 00:09:04
    about it but you have biotechnica so you
  • 00:09:08
