The Pharma Quality Excellence Awards 2024, in partnership with MasterControl, concluded on April 26th at Hotel Novotel Mumbai International Airport. The ceremony, broadcasted on CNBC and covered by several media houses, honoured and celebrated the outstanding accomplishments of quality departments in the pharmaceutical industry.
"Our events seamlessly combine grandeur with a carefully planned schedule. Attendees of our conferences have acknowledged our ability to present impartial and honest awards honouring outstanding quality practices at the inaugural “Pharma Quality Excellence Awards 2024”, says Ms. Guneet Kaur Hayer, Managing Director & Founder of Eminence Group. “Our goal is to stimulate excellence, support ongoing enhancement, and stimulate innovation throughout the industry. These awards promote compliance with strict regulatory guidelines, improving the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, they promote community and cooperation, encouraging the exchange of knowledge and joint progress, ultimately raising global health standards.”
This event was hailed as “India’s inaugural Award Ceremony exclusively dedicated to recognizing the quality departments of the pharmaceutical industry,” commending their diligence, dedication, and steadfast commitment to upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficacy in pharmaceutical products.
“We put in a year of research before delving into the idea of celebrating and honouring the achievements of our pharma family. We wanted to ensure the authenticity and uprightness of the ceremony and began the search of the most unbiased jurors with bespoken ethics and veracious persona,” Ms. Guneet added, “To maintain that rectitude, we didn’t even reveal the names of the jurors to anyone before the jury meet for maintaining the integrity of the awards. Only after the winner list was finalized, we revealed who the jury members were.”
They conduct conferences, trainings, and workshops for pharma, healthcare and allied industries globally, while they have offices in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Dubai as well.
Their vision is to empower the professionals and industry with state-of-the-art conferences, where experts share their knowledge and attending delegates up-skill themselves through learnings and dedicated networking, ensuring growth with learning and networking as key components.
