I am in India this week looking for opportunities to bring jobs, new technologies and new products to the County. I'm happy to be working with some of India's top incubators in healthcare and biotechnology, @AIC_CCMB and IKP, to develop partnerships that can flourish back home. https://t.co/IT6vMtWyFX
