Entod Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a global leader in ophthalmic and specialty healthcare solutions, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Vivekanand Education Society’s College of Pharmacy (VESCOP), Chembur, Mumbai. The partnership aims to foster long-term academic-industry collaboration focused on advancing pharmaceutical innovation, research, and student skill development.

This strategic alliance will focus on co-developing novel pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic technologies while nurturing future-ready professionals. With over 4,900 pharmaceutical colleges in India, many students remain underrepresented in mainstream pharma innovation. This initiative seeks to provide a structured platform for emerging student researchers to contribute to industry growth and national healthcare goals.

Nikkhil K Masurkar, CEO of Entod Pharmaceuticals, stated, “As India strengthens its global healthcare leadership, empowering young innovators is vital. This partnership allows us to co-create meaningful research and support emerging talent that will define the future of Indian pharma.”

Dr. Supriya Shidaye, Principal of VESCOP, added, “This collaboration bridges the gap between academic insight and real-world application. Entod’s support will help align our students’ potential with evolving industry needs.”

By uniting academic rigour with real-world expertise, Entod and VESCOP aim to set new standards for collaborative innovation in India’s pharmaceutical sector.
