India is ready for the export of COVID-19 vaccine: Satish Lakkaraju

Commenting on the readiness of logistics industry to handle the transportation of COVID-19 vaccine, Satish Lakkaraju, Chief Commercial Officer, Agility Global Integrated Logistics, says “India has been in the business of exporting pharmaceuticals from last so many years. All the airports in India have pharma facilities; Delhi & Mumbai have pharma centres and Mumbai has also upgraded its facility, Hyderabad always had a pharma centre, Bengaluru has a ‘Coolport’. It now depends on where the vaccine comes. India is more than ready for the export; domestically if the need comes in there will be more upgradations to be done. However, we are ready and we have made investments in terms of upgrading the warehouses.”
