Gaurav Laroia, Healthcare

I am an enterprise leader skilled at establishing bridges between healthcare and digital technology industries. I have a unique combination of commercial acumen, healthcare expertise, and technology focus that has enabled me to develop operating models needed to monetise data and technology in healthcare. I have over 20 years of operational, strategic and management consulting experience in developed and emerging markets with McKinsey & Co., Sanofi, Merck and Roche. I am purpose driven with the ability to seek out opportunities that provide better healthcare for patients. I have a proven ability to develop and operationalize strategies by mobilizing, influencing, and leading global cross-functional teams. My healthcare experience spans Pharma, Devices, and Biosimilars across Diabetes, Oncology, Ophthalmology, and Hospital Care. I am people-focussed with a track record of attracting and developing talent. In my most recent role at Biocon Biologics, one of Asia’s largest biotech companies, I was the Chief Strategy Officer and member of the C-suite executives. In this role I co-created the vision and the corporate strategy which served to inspire 4,500 colleagues towards transformational growth. I oversaw the execution of the strategy though impact goals mapped to tasks and resources through a zero-based budgeting exercise.
