Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a rare type of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood, gradually interfering with the body’s ability to produce healthy cells. For people living with CML, every treatment milestone has been a chance to reclaim hope. What began as a mystery in the lab decades ago grew into targeted therapies that transformed outcomes worldwide.

When patients could no longer respond to earlier treatments, continued innovation brought new therapies and renewed possibilities for care. These advancements were not only scientific achievements but also lifelines for patients and families navigating uncertainty.

At Novartis, we have remained committed to pushing the boundaries of science to reimagine medicine for CML patients. Every trial, every therapy, and every insight reflects a shared purpose: to improve the lives of people living with CML and other rare diseases.

A workplace is built every day, in moments that make people feel trusted, valued, and empowered. It is reflected in the freedom to explore ideas, opportunities that fuel career growth, and the flexibility that allows people to balance professional and personal priorities.

At Novartis, these everyday moments come together to shape a culture we are proud of – one that’s earned us the recognition of 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸® and a spot among 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱™. When our associates feel supported and empowered, they bring their full potential to reimagine medicine, innovate with purpose, and improve and extend the lives of patients across the world.

What does an inclusive workplace look like when it’s built with intention from the ground up?

At our offices, it starts with design choices that make work feel more intuitive, comfortable, and accessible for everyone. From the digital platforms we use to the physical spaces we move through; we’re integrating accessibility across every layer.

Our new Work Vivo platform and Microsoft Copilot programs support different ways of reading, listening, and focusing – making it easier for associates to engage in ways that suit them best.

We’re also adding tools that reflect diverse needs, from braille-enabled keyboards to larger and dual monitors, screen readers, and more. These changes are being championed by Capable, our Employee Resource Group dedicated to supporting associates with disabilities and ensuring inclusion is built into the everyday experience. Because when we build with care and foresight, inclusion isn’t a separate initiative – it’s simply how the workplace works.

And that’s how we continue – by creating a culture where every associate can thrive.

Celebrating the Power of Data in Healthcare Innovation.

Advanced Quantitative Sciences (AQS) India recently hosted the 14th edition of our annual statistics conference, Sankhya 2025, at the NOCC in Hyderabad. Centered around the theme “Data to Decision,” this year’s event highlighted how data-driven insights are accelerating smarter, faster, and more impactful choices across the pharmaceutical industry.

The conference opened with a compelling keynote by Dr. Suparna Chatterjee, Professor at IPGMER, Kolkata. Her talk, “The Unseen Architect: Who helps make better drugs,” shed light on the pivotal yet often overlooked role of statisticians in enabling scientific breakthroughs and improving patient outcomes.

Since its inception in 2011, Sankhya has grown into a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange, fostering collaboration across disciplines. This year’s three-day event welcomed over 400 participants and featured 80+ presentations from internal teams and industry leaders representing organizations such as Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi, GSK, BMS and Eli Lilly. We were also pleased to have attendees from J&J and BITS-Pilani Hyderabad, contributing to the rich diversity of perspectives and engagement throughout the event.

Topics ranged from advanced statistical methodologies and real-world evidence to health technology assessments and collaborative approaches to clinical development—underscoring the depth and breadth of innovation happening at the intersection of data and healthcare.

As we look ahead to the next editions of Sankhya, the insights and connections forged this year will continue to inspire progress. By harnessing the transformative power of statistics, we remain committed to driving innovation and making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients worldwide.

At our NOCC in Hyderabad, a five-day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training brought together associates from across functions to explore new ways of thinking, solving, and collaborating.

The programme blended foundational principles of process excellence with practical, real-world applications. Participants gained hands-on experience with generative AI tools, exploring how these technologies can support smarter, data-driven decision-making across various business functions.

We also introduced the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method, encouraging creative problem-solving and deeper dialogue. This approach helped transform the learning experience into something truly engaging and reflective.

With support from our Business Process Excellence trainers and insights from Novartis India leaders, our associates built strong foundations to drive meaningful improvements in their work.

By offering this globally recognised programme on a nomination basis, we continue to invest in purposeful learning, preparing our people to lead with confidence while reimagining how we work, solve, and grow together.

Innovation in action at Novartis

CoIN (Culture of Innovation), our initiative dedicated to innovation, was created to help associates bring new ideas to life. CoIN was created to help associates bring new ideas to life. Designed to empower our people to think differently, CoIN is where everyday improvements meet transformative thinking.

One of its flagship initiatives, the CoIN Hackathon, returned this year with incredible energy. Over 160 associates, across 19 cross-functional teams, came together for a high-intensity, three-day sprint to tackle real-world operational challenges. From AI-driven decision-making to reimagining customer experience, every solution was a step toward our shared mission: Reimagining Medicine.

In just 30 hours, teams turned ideas into early-stage prototypes with some already being explored for enterprise-wide implementation.

Big congratulations to:
• InnovateX – this year’s winning team
• Super Nova and NovoCatalysts – first and second runners-up
• TRDigital Flow – recipient of the Spirit of Innovation award

To every associate who took part, thank you for showing how far we can go when we create the space to build together.

What does it mean to share your world with the ones who matter most?

Children often wonder what their parents do at work. They play out meetings, type on imaginary keyboards, and ask about offices they’ve never seen. On Family Day at the Novartis Corporate Center in Hyderabad, those questions found answers — not through words, but through experience.

Associates welcomed their loved ones into the space where they spend much of their time — the place they speak of over dinner, the colleagues they collaborate with, and the culture that shapes their day-to-day. For a few joyful hours, the walls between work and home gently faded. The afternoon was filled with laughter, wide-eyed curiosity, and moments of quiet pride. Families saw firsthand how their support fuels something bigger — a shared purpose, a collective mission. And for our associates, it was a chance to honour the people who stand behind them, every step of the way.

At Novartis, we believe inclusion extends beyond the workplace. It lives in the connections we nurture, the communities we build, and the recognition that behind every associate is a family — a circle of strength, love, and encouragement.

Family Day is more than a celebration. It’s a reminder of why we do what we do.

What does it mean to truly belong?

Is it the language we choose? The systems we build? Or is it found in the everyday moments — when someone feels seen, respected, and valued without needing to explain who they are?

At Novartis, these questions guide how we think about inclusion — not as a destination, but as a continuous journey. Each year, we participate in the Stonewall Global Workplace Equality Index, helping us reflect on the progress we’ve made and the work that still lies ahead. The insights we gain shape our policies, inform our learning, and strengthen how we show up for one another.

Much of this progress happens in the quiet, consistent actions of our people:
- In meetings where pronouns are shared and respected.
- In policies that recognize diverse partnerships and family structures.
- In learning experiences that deepen our understanding of equity and everyday inclusion.
And often, it happens through community.

In India, AGLOW — one of our most vibrant Employee Resource Groups — continues to grow. With over 100 members, including LGBTQI+ associates, parents, and allies, AGLOW fosters a space for advocacy, connection, and belonging. Their impact spans functions and geographies, embodying what it means to build inclusion from the ground up.

Pride Month is a moment to celebrate this progress — and to reaffirm our commitment. Because while the month may end, our journey continues. With intention. With courage. And with care.

Here’s a look at how we celebrated Pride Month at Novartis India.

At the Novartis Corporate Centre (NOCC) in Hyderabad, leadership is cultivated through intent, consistency, and opportunity.

Over the past two decades, we have strived to set benchmarks in the life sciences and pharma GCC space in India and this commitment was recognised at the GCC Awards 2025, hosted by YourStory in Bengaluru. NOCC received the Leadership Incubator Award - an acknowledgement of the centre’s role in shaping the next generation of leaders within India’s Global Capability Centre ecosystem.

We thank YourStory for recognising a work culture where leadership is built through trust, developed through action, and sustained by a shared purpose to reimagine medicine.
