Cosette Pharmaceuticals has officially inaugurated its Global Business Operations centre in Navi Mumbai, India — the company’s first office outside the United States. This strategic expansion aims to leverage India’s deep talent pool and core competencies across the pharmaceutical value chain. The newly established office currently supports key functions such as Regulatory Affairs, SAP, Finance, HR, Data Analytics, Operational excellence, and other enabling services that directly support Cosette’s US operations.
Inaugurating the office, Apurva Saraf, CEO of Cosette Pharmaceuticals, said, “This expansion represents a significant milestone in our journey to build a globally integrated organization. The India office will be instrumental in accelerating innovation and operational excellence. We believe in empowering talent and creating value through collaboration, and this centre reflects our vision to build a scalable and agile operating model that supports our long-term growth strategy. It’s more than a location — it’s a hub of ideas, execution, and opportunity.”
Richard Casten, CFO, added, “Our Global Business Operations in India will enhance agility, improve cost efficiency, and strengthen our ability to support the business through shared services and strategic initiatives. This move enables us to access world-class capabilities while maintaining financial discipline. It also gives us the flexibility to respond faster to evolving market needs and regulatory demands.”
Girish Basavaraju, Country Head – Global Business Operations, India, remarked, “We’re excited to build a future-ready organization from the ground up. This office is not just an extension — it’s a key pillar of our global growth strategy.”
The entire setup was executed under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model in partnership with Amviak Consulting, experienced in establishing global operations. Amviak led the initiative from the grassroots level — setting up infrastructure, enabling core functions, and ensuring operational readiness.
Amit Jain, CEO of Amviak Consulting, shared during the inauguration, “We’re proud to have partnered with Cosette on this transformative journey. This collaboration sets a benchmark for how global companies can seamlessly build strategic capabilities in India.”
