‘Develop cold chain infrastructure to eliminate bottlenecks’

Rashmi Karnad Gurung, Manager Climate Control, Qatar Airways said, “No doubt, India is the pharmacy of the world. India is the third largest supplier of generic drugs globally. India is also becoming the new upcoming industry for medical devices which will bring India on top in the next two decades. India definitely has world-class infrastructure to store, handle and transport pharma at some of the major airports. There are large investments happening in terms of infrastructural and tech development. said, Rashmi participated in the digital conclave organised by CargoTalk and CSC on May 5. She added, “Considering the size of the country, India needs more development in cold chain storage and distribution sector. There’s definitely room for growth. India is capable of more. Some of the regional airports may need more development to avoid the current bottlenecks for multimodal transportation. More player could step in. We will definitely get there.”
