Telangana IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao was notified on Monday that Swiss multinational biotech firm Roche Pharma has opened a state-of-the-art Global Analytics and Technology Centre of Excellence (GATE) in Hyderabad, making it the company’s second data analytics centre in India.
According to a news statement, the centre will collaborate with Roche’s international affiliates to expand knowledge and understanding of the healthcare industry, which helps to improve patient care, customer satisfaction, and commercial results. With the most recent expansion, GATE will have 100 employees overall by the end of 2022 and has further expansion ambitions.
Rama Rao welcomed Roche Pharma India’s MD and CEO, V. Simpson Emmanuel, as they joined the long list of prestigious international businesses that have chosen Hyderabad as the location for their global competence centre on Monday.
Additionally present were Shakthi M. Nagappan, Director of Life Sciences for the Telangana government, and Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary (Industries and Commerce Department). Rao spoke about Hyderabad’s thriving environment when he met Roche Chairman Christoph Franz at the World Economic Forum in 2020 and earlier this year in May.
According to Emmanuel, organisations like GATE will help the nation by creating a knowledge foundation in the quickly developing fields of data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
Massive volumes of unstructured data are being produced today. Insights that can be put into practise must be analysed. GATE assists Roche with project management over the whole product lifecycle, including the pre-clinical, launch, growth, maturity, and decline phases. GATE will also aid in improving intellectual property retention, cost-cutting without sacrificing quality, and strengthening the talent pool’s knowledge, the expert said.
