Kapur has done his B Pharm from Khalsa College of Pharmacy and M Pharm in industrial pharmacy from Manipal University. To become an entrepreneur in pharmacy and MLT, students were advised to first think of an innovative idea involving a product, service, process, or new technology with aim of gaining profit, people to support the work like employees, vendors and advisors, enough funding to support business and a clear business plan. “As a pharmaceutical entrepreneur, there is need to develop different departments like production, quality control and quality assurance according to good manufacturing guidelines (GMP). Even a small-scale enterprise can be started with very small capital, and even without opening a manufacturing plant, one can think of becoming an entrepreneur by tying up already established entrepreneurs and applying for loan licensing,” he said.
