Empowering employees is the key to success for any organisation and keeping this in mind Aurobindo Pharma has partnered with GITAM university and signed an MoU to organise this training programme called `Four Pillars of Future Ready Managers’ for its key management personnel.

The 10-day sessions are spread over two Saturdays every month for the next 4 months. It will address key factors like leading self and other, organisational leadership and personal transformation. A total of 27 employees – in the Manager to Deputy General Manager cadres -- from the Vizag cluster of Aurobindo Pharma have been shortlisted and are now undergoing the programme.

People development has been a key focus area for the Human Resources (HR) department at Aurobindo Pharma.

Speaking on the initiative U.N.B. Raju, Senior Vice President (HR), Aurobindo Pharma, said, “This is the first-ever programme undertaken by Aurobindo Pharma to train future leaders. It is a historical milestone and a landmark opportunity for us to set a perspective for the future. The programme will synergize employees for improved acceptance, and agility with cross-functional leads which will help our organisation navigate the business challenges and growth in the coming years. The HR team of Aurobindo has extensively worked with the GITAM team and Aurobindo leadership team at the Vizag cluster and after multiple iterations, content for 10 sessions - 4 modules has been developed.”

Aurobindo Pharma collaborated with GITAM University to ensure these employees benefit from a fresh perspective, and the advantage of focussed attention on the topics being learnt. The company is looking forward to a long-term association with GITAM to hone the pharma company’s in-house talent.
