The celebrations began with the unveiling of the Biocon Anthem
Biocon Limited, an innovation-led global biopharmaceuticals company, proudly marked its 46th Founder’s Day with a series of inspiring and unifying events that celebrated its legacy, purpose, and vision for the future.
The celebrations began with the unveiling of the Biocon Anthem, a heartfelt composition brought to life by the talent and passion of over 500 Bioconites from across the globe. The anthem, composed by Grammy Award winner Ricky Kej, embodies Biocon’s unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and creating a healthier world.
This was followed by the kick-off of the John Shaw Walkathon: 10 Million Steps for Cancer by Biocon Group Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, held at Biocon Park. Starting with a solemn flag-off at the John Shaw Memorial Tree, this walkathon symbolized Biocon’s dedication to advancing treatments for cancer and improving patient outcomes. Employees joined hands in a powerful display of unity, walking towards a shared goal of making a meaningful impact on global healthcare.
Speaking on the occasion, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw said: “On this special occasion of Biocon's 46th Founder's Day, I take immense pride in celebrating our journey as a team that has consistently strived to not just transforming healthcare but also contributing meaningfully to nation-building. When I founded Biocon, one of my goals was to prevent brain drain and create meaningful opportunities within India. Today, that vision has come to life as we have built a global brand recognized for excellence in research, world-class manufacturing, and providing affordable access to life-saving medicines. Team Biocon is more than a workplace; it’s a community that works together, dreams together, and succeeds together. Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to continue making a difference to global health, touch patients' lives, and create a healthier planet for all.”
Mazumdar-Shaw also inaugurated the Biocon Experience Center dedicated to the Late John Shaw, former Vice Chairman of Biocon Group, who played a very important role in building the Company, ensuring the highest levels of corporate governance, as well as contributing to the financial and strategic development of the Group.
