Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) is investing $200 million in its new technology and innovation center in Hyderabad, India, to enhance AI and data-driven drug development. CEO Robert Bradway, speaking at the site's inauguration, confirmed plans for further investments in the coming years.
The Hyderabad facility, announced last year, aims to accelerate medicine development through cutting-edge technology. By year-end, it is expected to employ 2,000 people, with 300 already on board, according to Som Chattopadhyay, Amgen's national executive for India.
Amgen’s expansion aligns with India’s growing role as the “pharmacy of the world,” attracting global pharmaceutical giants. The company’s presence in Hyderabad coincides with the BioAsia conference, where key executives from Amgen, Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY), Novartis (SIX: NOVN), and leading Indian pharma firms will participate.
The U.S. and India recently initiated talks for a trade deal to strengthen collaboration in emerging technologies. U.S. Consul General in Hyderabad, Jennifer Larson, highlighted Amgen’s expansion as a prime example of this partnership. However, potential U.S. tariffs on pharmaceutical imports—reportedly 25% or higher—could impact Indian drugmakers, as the U.S. remains their largest market.
With Amgen’s strategic investment, India’s biotech sector continues to gain global attention, reinforcing its position as a key hub for pharmaceutical innovation.
