Dear Friends,

It gives me immense pride and privilege to welcome you all to the 74th Indian Pharmaceutical Congress (IPC), being held in the dynamic city of Bengaluru. As President of the Indian Pharmaceutical Congress Association (IPCA), I am deeply honored to lead this prestigious gathering that brings together the best minds from academia, industry, regulatory bodies, and healthcare.

This year’s theme, “AI & Technology in Pharma: Educate, Innovate, Empower,” captures the transformative journey we are undertaking as a profession. The integration of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies is revolutionizing how we approach drug discovery, patient care, regulatory processes, and pharmacy education. It is our responsibility to ensure that this transformation is inclusive, ethically sound, and focused on public health outcomes.

IPC has always been a platform for knowledge exchange, policy shaping, and forging meaningful collaborations. The 74th edition promises to continue this legacy, with a wide range of scientific sessions, conclaves, exhibitions, and networking opportunities. It is also a moment to reflect on our shared mission—building a healthier tomorrow through scientific excellence, innovation, and education.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed guests, organizing committees, sponsors, and every delegate whose presence strengthens this event. Let us commit to empowering our profession through continuous learning and visionary thinking.

I look forward to an inspiring, insightful, and impactful IPC.
