Hello, I am Biswajit Sarkar. Currently, I am working as an Area Business Manager (ABM) in a reputed pharmaceutical company. I hold a total corporate experience of 10 years in this dynamic industry. When I first joined this profession, the scenario was quite different. The competition wasn’t this intense, things weren’t as technically complex, and digitalization hadn’t completely taken over our daily fieldwork.
But today, the landscape has entirely changed. The competition is at its peak. Every single day, thousands of young aspirants are trying to join this profession, and the number of pharmaceutical companies has also multiplied significantly.
Throughout my career, while working in the field and managing teams, I have observed certain recurring challenges. As a manager, I strongly feel these issues need to be addressed, especially to support the newcomers. For instance:
1. The Reality of Expensive Training Courses:
Nowadays, a very common trend has emerged—”Medical Representative Training Courses.” These institutes often charge candidates anywhere between ₹30,000 to ₹40,000 as course fees. For a candidate coming from a middle-class family, who is perhaps quitting higher studies just to support their family financially, this is a massive burden. What’s worse is that even after paying such a huge amount, many candidates have to wait 2 to 3 months just to secure their first job.
What do they actually teach in these expensive courses? They teach the absolute basics of our profession—like how to do detailing, what RCPA (Retail Chemist Prescription Audit) is, how to improve In-clinic Effectiveness, the core concepts of sales, how to close a call, and basic interview preparation.
I observed this and thought: What if there was a portal where all these things were taught for absolutely free? That thought is the foundation of this portal. Here, any fresher can prepare for their interviews and learn the basics of this profession at zero cost. Furthermore, if a fresher feels the need for a 1-to-1 mock interview with an experienced professional to boost their confidence, we conduct that for a very minimal charge of just ₹149. Alongside this, they receive daily, authentic job updates completely free of charge.
2. A Strictly Dedicated Pharma Platform:
I have noticed that while there are many popular online job portals where you can find vacancies, there isn’t a single dedicated, high-quality “Pharmaceutical Job Portal.” Pharma jobs often get lost in the crowd of IT, banking, and other sectors. I created this platform so that candidates can find strictly pharmaceutical job updates without any distractions or irrelevant postings.
3. Empowering Pharma Leaders:
We have a special section on our portal called “Pharma Leaders.” This is exclusively designed for experienced professionals who want to build their personal branding for free. In this section, we publish their “non-verbal podcasts” (written interviews or articles) where they share their industry expertise, field knowledge, and success stories to inspire the next generation.
4. Free Hiring for Managers & HRs:
On our portal, any Company Manager or HR can post job vacancies absolutely free of cost. There are no hidden charges, making the hiring process faster and directly connecting them with the right candidates.
5. Professional CV Building:
During my time taking interviews, I’ve seen that one of the biggest initial hurdles for freshers is creating a good, professional CV that suits the pharma industry. We are here to help them craft premium CVs that make a great first impression.
Our Vision:
Pharma Vacancy is a completely free and dedicated platform for all pharmaceutical professionals. In our ‘MR Interview Guide’ section, you will find all the premium resources you need to prepare yourself for interviews—absolutely free.
Pharma Vacancy is India’s only dedicated and authentic pharmaceutical platform built by a pharma professional, for pharma professionals.
