Meanwhile, talking about her new role, Naair in a LinkedIn post wrote," Some journeys are defined by what you do. Others, by why you do it. At Biocon Biologics, I’m fortunate to be part of a mission where both align — where science meets compassion, and innovation drives impact. I look forward to learning, leading, and building trust through purposeful work — through multiple channels, in multiple countries, across diverse stakeholders — where purpose travels farther than words and trust outlasts campaigns."
