Two hundred and thirty active BD, sales, and procurement contacts sit on the catalog across the Indian API supplier base. Multinational anchors (AbbVie, Novo Nordisk, Boehringer Ingelheim Spain, GSK) carry the deepest BD benches. Mid-cap Indian houses average 4-8 BD contacts with rapid turnover; the catalog refreshes weekly to keep the cohort current.

Why a buyer runs it

Outreach-ready supplier contacts, joined to commercial signal.

Contact + signal in one row.

BD contact is necessary but not sufficient. Joining to supplier momentum (rising vs falling, recent DMF filings) tells you which contact is worth the cold message.

Recency built in.

Personnel turnover in BD roles is high. The catalog flags 'updated in last 30 days' to surface fresh contacts vs stale ones.

Senior tier highlighted.

Head of BD, VP Sales, Director Procurement carry different conversation power than account managers. The senior chip on the row is the prioritisation cue.

Weekly refresh.

Personnel catalog refreshes weekly from professional-network signals. Catalog rows carry a last-seen timestamp.

Across the Indian API supplier base, 230-plus active BD, sales, and procurement contacts sit on the catalog. Senior-tier contacts (Head, VP, Director) account for roughly a quarter of the pool. The most actionable cohort joins the contact list to supplier momentum: BD heads at rising suppliers are the warmest outreach targets, especially when DMF filing activity has accelerated.

BD and procurement contacts at suppliers are the outreach surface that the trade and DMF feeds do not carry on their own. PharmaDB joins active personnel to supplier commercial signals so the outreach list is prioritised by momentum, not just title match. The view rests on company_personnel joined to global_companies and company_trade_growth. Refresh cadence is weekly.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Where does the personnel data come from?+

PharmaDB's personnel catalog ingests publicly observable professional-network signals (LinkedIn-equivalent surface). Each row carries a current/historical flag, role title, start period, and a last-seen timestamp.

How accurate is the current-employment flag?+

Updated within the last 90 days for the active cohort. Personnel catalog refreshes weekly; the 'last 30 days' chip flags the freshest segment. Cross-company moves in the last 12 months surface as a separate signal for outreach prioritisation.

Does this respect privacy and platform terms?+

PharmaDB uses publicly available professional-network data. Outreach is at the buyer's discretion under their own compliance framework. The product surfaces signals, not contact methods; emails and phone numbers are not surfaced.

How does this connect to supplier outreach for BD?+

The companion analysis 'BD Head Contacts at Fast-Growing Exporters' is the targeting view for in-licensing or partnership outreach. This page is the procurement-side view: contacts at suppliers a buyer wants to source from.

Are non-Indian supplier contacts included?+

Yes. The catalog covers global API and CDMO suppliers. The default view is Indian-weighted because the trade and DMF base is Indian-weighted, but Chinese, European, and US contacts surface on the same query with a geography filter.

How fresh is the data?+

Weekly. The personnel catalog refreshes weekly. Catalog rows carry a last-seen timestamp on every result page.
