Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw (born 23 March 1953, Bangalore, India) is an Indian entrepreneur.[3] She is the chairman and managing director of Biocon Limited, a biotechnology company based in Bangalore (Bengaluru), India[4] and the current chairperson of IIM-Bangalore.[5] In 2014, she was awarded the Othmer Gold Medal, for outstanding contributions to the progress of science and chemistry.[6][7][8][9][10] She is on the Financial Times’ top 50 women in business list.[11] As of 2015, she was listed as the 85th most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.[12]At present in 2016, she has been listed one more time in "Forbes" - the most powerful woman in the world at 77th position.

Early life and education

Kiran Mazumdar was born to Gujarati parents in Bangalore, India.[13] She went to school at Bangalore’s Bishop Cotton Girl's High School, graduating in 1968. She then attended Mount Carmel College, Bangalore, a women's college offering pre-university courses as an affiliate of Bangalore University. She studied biology and zoology, graduating from Bangalore University with a B.Sc. in Zoology in 1973.[14][15][16] Mazumdar hoped to go to medical school, but did not obtain a scholarship.[17]

Her father, Rasendra Mazumdar, was the head brewmaster at United Breweries. He suggested that Kiran study fermentation science, and train to be a brewmaster, a very nontraditional field for a woman.[17] Mazumdar went to Federation University (Formerly known as University of Ballarat) in Australia to study Malting and Brewing. In 1974 she was the only woman enrolled in the brewing course, and the top of her class.[18] She earned the degree of Master Brewer in 1975.[1][15][18]

She worked as a trainee brewer in Carlton and United Breweries, Melbourne and as a trainee maltster at Barrett Brothers and Burston, Australia. She also worked for some time as a technical consultant at Jupiter Breweries Limited, Calcutta and as a technical manager at Standard Maltings Corporation, Baroda between 1975 and 1977.[15][19] However, when she investigated the possibility of further work in Bangalore or Delhi, she was told that she would not be hired as a master brewer in India because "It's a man's work."[20]:152–153 [21] She began to look abroad, and was offered a position in Scotland.[20]:154[22]:108

Before Kiran could move, she met Leslie Auchincloss, founder of Biocon Biochemicals Limited, of Cork, Ireland. Auchincloss's company produced enzymes for use in the brewing, food-packaging and textile industries. Auchincloss was looking for an Indian entrepreneur to help establish an Indian subsidiary.[20]:154 Mazumdar agreed to undertake the job on the condition that if she did not wish to continue after six months she would be guaranteed a brewmaster's position comparable to the one she was giving up.[22]:108

Beginning with enzymes

After a brief period as a Trainee Manager at Biocon Biochemicals Limited, of Cork, Ireland, to learn more about the business, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw returned to India.[22]:109 She started Biocon India in 1978 in the garage of her rented house in Bengaluru with a seed capital of Rs. 10,000.[23] Although it was a joint venture, Indian laws restricted foreign ownership to 30% of the company. The remaining 70% belonged to Kiran Mazumdar Shaw.[24]

Initially, she faced credibility challenges because of her youth, gender and her untested business model. Funding was a problem: no bank wanted to lend to her, and some requested that her father be a guarantor. A chance meeting with a banker at a social event finally enabled her to get her first financial backing.[20]:156[21]:104[22]:109 She also found it difficult to recruit people to work for her start-up. Her first employee was a retired garage mechanic.[17] Her first factory was in a nearby 3,000-square-foot shed.[20]:154 The most complicated piece of equipment in her lab at that time was a spectrophotometer.[25] As well, she faced the technological challenges associated with trying to build a biotech business in a country with a shaky infrastructure.[20]:156[21]:114 Uninterrupted power, superior quality water, sterile labs, imported research equipment, and workers with advanced scientific skills were not easily available in India at the time.[26]

The company's initial projects were the extraction of papain (an enzyme from papaya used to tenderize meat) and isinglass (obtained from tropical catfish and used to clarify beer).[21]:104 Within a year of its inception, Biocon India was able to manufacture enzymes and to export them to the United States and Europe, the first Indian company to do so.[20]:156 At the end of her first year, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw used her earnings to buy a 20-acre property, dreaming of future expansion.[17]

Expanding into biopharmaceuticals

Mazumdar-Shaw spearheaded Biocon's evolution from an industrial enzymes manufacturing company to a fully integrated bio-pharmaceutical company with a well-balanced business portfolio of products and a research focus on diabetes, oncology and auto-immune diseases.[27][28] She also established two subsidiaries: Syngene (1994) which provides early research and development support services on a contract basis and Clinigene (2000) which focuses on clinical research trials and the development of both generic and new medicines.Clinigene was later merged with Syngene. Syngene was listed on BSE/NSE in 2015 and has a current market cap of US$1.15 billion.[19][20]:158[21]:106[22]:111[29]:211–212

Mazumdar-Shaw is responsible for establishing Biocon's direction. As early as 1984, she began to develop a research and development team at Biocon, focusing on discovery of novel enzymes and on development of novel techniques for solid substrate fermentation technology.[30]:30–31 The company's first major expansion came in 1987, when Narayanan Vaghul of ICICI Ventures (Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India) supported creation of a venture capital fund of US$250,000.[22]:113 The money enabled Biocon to expand its research and development efforts. They built a new plant featuring proprietary solid substrate fermentation technology based on a semi-automated tray culture process, inspired by Japanese techniques.[20]:156[22]:110[30] In 1989, Biocon became the first Indian biotech company to receive US funding for proprietary technologies.[20]:158

In 1990, Kiran Mazumdar incorporated Biocon Biopharmaceuticals Private Limited (BBLP) to manufacture and market a select range of biotherapeutics in a joint venture with the Cuban Center of Molecular Immunology.[20]:158

Establishing independence

Biocon Biochemicals of Ireland was acquired from Leslie Auchincloss by Unilever in 1989.[31]:50 The partnership with Unilever helped Biocon to establish global best practices and quality systems.[25] In 1997, Unilever sold its specialty chemicals division, including Biocon, to Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI).[24] In 1998, Kiran Mazumdar's fiancée, Scotsman John Shaw, personally raised $2 million to purchase the outstanding Biocon shares from ICI.[22]:106[32] The couple married in 1998, whereupon she became known as Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw. John Shaw left his position as chairman at Madura Coats to join Biocon.[33] He became Biocon’s vice chairman in 2001.[17]

In 2004, after seeking the advice of Narayana Murthy, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw decided to list Biocon on the stock market.[22]:114 Her intent was to raise capital to further develop Biocon's research programs. Biocon was the first biotechnology company in India to issue an IPO.[20]:159 Biocon's IPO was oversubscribed 33 times and its first day at the bourses closed with a market value of $1.11 billion,[20]:159 making Biocon only the second Indian company to cross the $1-billion mark on the first day of listing.[34]

Affordable innovation

Mazumdar-Shaw's belief in "affordable innovation" has been a driving philosophy behind Biocon's expansion. Inspired by the need for affordable drugs in less-wealthy countries, she has looked for opportunities to develop cost-effective techniques and lower-cost alternatives.[34][35] She has also proposed that drug companies be cost-sensitive in marketing to developing countries, so that people can afford the drugs they need, particularly chronic therapies.[20][35]

Mazumdar-Shaw noticed the market potential for statins (cholesterol fighting drugs) early on. When the patent of the cholesterol-lowering drug lovastatin expired in 2001, Biocon got involved in its development. Then they expanded to other forms of statins. Part of her strategy was to enter into long-term supply contracts, establishing a dependable market base over time. Statins soon accounted for over 50 per cent of the company's revenue.[13] The company’s revenue went up from Rs. 70 crore in 1998, to Rs. 500 crore in 2004 when it went public.[34]

Biocon continues to expand into new areas. Yeast expression platforms offer a desirable alternative to mammalian cell cultures for the genetic manipulation of cells for use in a variety of drug treatments. Unicellular methylotrophic yeasts such as Pichia pastoris are used in the production of vaccines, antibody fragments, hormones, cytokines, matrix proteins, and biosimilars.[36]

Biocon's major areas of research now include cancer, diabetes, and other auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.[22][37] Because of the high percentage of people in India who chew betel or tobacco, India accounts for eighty-six per cent of oral cancer in the world, known locally as "cancer cheek".[38][39] Diabetes is prevalent, and people who do not wear shoes are at risk to have a minor scrape or injury develop into gangrene, or "diabetes foot".[38][39] Biocon is also working on drugs to treat psoriasis, a skin pigment disease which can result in social ostracization.[38]

Bio-pharmaceuticals developed include Pichia-derived recombinant human insulin and insulin analogs for diabetes, an Anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody for head and neck cancer, and a biologic for psoriasis.[35] Biocon is Asia's largest insulin producer,[40] and has the largest perfusion-based antibody production facilities.[41]

As of 2014, Biocon directed about 10% of its revenue back into research and development, a much higher proportion than most Indian pharmacological companies.[42] Biocon has filed at least 950 patent applications as a result of its research activity.[42] Mazumdar-Shaw has actively engaged in acquisitions, partnerships and in-licensing within the pharmaceuticals and bio-pharmaceutical area, entering into more than 2,200 high-value R&D licensing and other deals between 2005 and 2010.[34]

Philanthropic activities

In 2004, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw started a corporate social responsibility wing at Biocon, the Biocon Foundation. The Foundation focuses on the areas of health, education and infrastructure, especially in rural areas of Karnataka which lack healthcare facilities.[34]

Mazumdar-Shaw dislikes the term "philanthropy", believing that it often provides temporary fixes rather than changing underlying conditions.[38] She prefers the term "compassionate capitalist", believing that properly applied business models can provide an ongoing foundation for sustainable social progress. "Innovation and commerce are as powerful tools for creating social progress as they are for driving technological advancement... when they are put to use for social progress, the implementation is a lot cheaper, a lot more people benefit, and the effect is more lasting."[43] In 2015, she joined The Giving Pledge, promising that at least half of her wealth will be dedicated to philanthropy.[44]

Health

India does not have organized health care programs such as socialised medicine or government-backed health insurance.[43] Rural areas may have only one doctor for every two thousand people: it is estimated that 70 million people do not have the money to pay for a doctor's visit or for medicine.[45] The Biocon Foundation is involved in numerous health and education outreach programs to benefit the economically weaker sections of Indian society.[34]

Arogya Raksha Yojana

With Dr. Devi Shetty of Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital, Mazumdar-Shaw has supported the development of Arogya Raksha Yojana (Disease Protection Program/Health Help).[21] Through this program Biocon Foundation establishes clinics to offer clinical care, generic medicines and basic tests for those who cannot afford them.[43][46] As of 2010, seven clinics each served a population of 50,000 patients living within a radius of 10 km, treating in total more than 300,000 people per year.[19] Clinics organize regular general health checks in remote villages by bringing in physicians and doctors from network hospitals. To improve early detection of cancer, they have trained young women as community health workers, using smart phones to send photographs of suspicious lesions to oncologists at the cancer center.[39][47] Public health campaigns such as "Queen of Heart" educate people about specific health issues and promote early detection of problems such as cardiovascular disease.[48]

The clinics operate on a model of micro-financed health insurance.[21] Biocon provides low-cost drugs, making a negligible profit on a unit basis, but an overall profit on volume due to the participation of large numbers of people.[45] Clinics also use a "subsidised convenience" pricing plan, under which more wealthy patrons pay full price in return for the convenience of scheduling their visits and procedures at desirable times, while poorer patients can obtain cheap or even free services by choosing less desirable times.[43] Doctors and researchers look for opportunities to use cutting-edge technology in ways that will drive down costs and ensure quality of service.[45]

Mazumdar-Shaw Medical Foundation

The death of her best friend, Nilima Rovshen, and the illnesses of her husband and her mother from cancer, have motivated Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw to strongly support cancer research and treatment.[2] In 2009, she established a 1,400-bed cancer care center, the Mazumdar-Shaw Medical Foundation, at the Narayana Health City campus in Bangalore, collaborating with Dr. Devi Shetty of Narayana Hrudayalaya.[49] In 2011, she added a center for advanced therapeutics with a bone marrow transplant unit and a research center.[50] Her goal is to create a world-class cancer center.[38][39]

Mazumdar Shaw Medical Foundation is a non-profitable organization and has two arms to support its cause, which are Mazumdar Shaw Center for Translational Research and Mazumdar Shaw Cancer outreach program. Mazumdar Shaw Medical Foundation is set to improve the health of the community by setting a standard of excellence in research and community outreach programs. MSMF pushes the boundaries of discovery, transforms healthcare and creates hope for humanity. MSMF will deliver the promise of good health through breakthrough research, treatment innovation, and philanthropy. MSMF employs world-class researchers who develop and test the effectiveness of new cancer therapies. This unique bench-to-bedside approach to cancer research and patient care can only be found in a distinguished center, Mazumdar Shaw Medical Foundation.

Education

In collaboration with Mcmillan India Limited and teacher Prathima Rao, Mazumdar-Shaw has supported development and use of a basic mathematics textbook, introduced in Kannada schools in 2006.[22]:117[51]

She funded a multi-year research program by creating the Biocon Cell for Innovation Management with Dr. Prasad Kaipa at the Indian School of Business in 2009.[52][53]

Infrastructure

Mazumdar-Shaw speaks openly about the importance of improving India's infrastructure,[21]:112[54] emphasizing the need to address issues such as efficient governance, job creation, and food, water, and health insecurity.[55]

In Bangalore itself, Biocon, Infosys and other companies have had a significant impact on the city. These companies attract many scientists who would otherwise go overseas. Once a "pensioner's paradise", Bangalore is now called "the best urban working environment in India".[56] Biocon Park, built in 2005 not far from Mazumdar-Shaw's original office, is a ninety-acre campus with five thousand employees.[38] Outside the developed areas, however, there is still severe poverty.[38]

Mazumdar-Shaw is an energetic proponent of good government and infrastructure. She supported the Bangalore Agenda Task Force, an initiative of S. M. Krishna and Nandan Nilekani to improve the city's infrastructure and standard of living.[56][57] Mazumdar-Shaw is part of the Bangalore City Connect Foundation, a non-profit trust for discussion of civic issues, involving both urban stakeholders and the government. Mazumdar-Shaw is actively engaged in urban reform, partnering with Jana Urban Space Foundation and local government to improve roads.[57] She is also involved in the Bangalore Political Action Committee (BPAC), which reviews and recommends candidates running in elections.[58][59]

After the 2009 flood, Biocon, Infosys and Wipro all committed to rebuilding homes for flood victims in north Karnataka. Biocon committed to building 3,000 houses at a cost of Rs 30 crore.[60][61]

Board memberships

Mazumdar-Shaw is a member of the board of governors of the prestigious Indian School of Business[62] and a past member of the Board of Governors of the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad.[63]
