A promise of being Productive, Progressive and Price-conscious in the Indian pharmaceutical Segment: Oaknet Healthcare

Hailing from a family whose generation has been serving the nation as army personnel, he too, aspired to join the army. There, some complications and the solidarity that runs down in his veins diverted his focus and shaped him to blend out as a persona interwoven with a high sense of discipline, commitment, integrity & courage which proved out as the turning point for his journey ahead…

He is R.S. Raghav, an entrepreneur, a leader, and an avid reader who believes that Bhagavad Gita has all the philosophical answers, while 'The fortune at the bottom of the pyramid' tops the list of his favorite business books.

His professional journey took off as a medical representative in 1985 in Fulford(India) and waved to Lupin in 1986. Mr. Raghav kept on building diverse capabilities as he played various roles such as Regional Sales Manager & General Manager, which ultimately chaired him as Lupin's Executive Vice President. He further honed his plentiful hands-on knowledge by doing an MBA course in correspondence in 2000 and a certification course in 'Aligning Strategy and Execution' conducted by Harvard Business School, which aided him to understand the thought process of millennial generation.
