Professional profile of
Vivek Hattangadi
Vivek Hattangadi started his career in 1974, with a multinational, Carter-Wallace Ltd. (now Indianised and known as Wallace Pharmaceuticals Ltd.). He put in over 13 years in this great company, as a Medical Representative, District Manager and later as Regional Manager (West). In Carter Wallace, his trainer was the celebrated Mr. P.M. Sapre, who was to later lead Lupin Pharmaceuticals and make Lupin what it is today. He also had the benefit of getting trained in products and sales techniques by trainers from many collaborators of Carter Wallace like Upjohn (USA), Pharmacia (Sweden) {both these companies have merged with Pfizer Inc.}, and Leo Pharmaceuticals (Denmark).
During his brief tenure as All India Field Force Manager in Medley Laboratories, he learnt the basics of Brand Management under Dr. R.B. Smarta, who was then their marketing consultant. He was sponsored by Medley to attend a week’s workshop on pharmaceutical brand management at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS), Bombay.
He joined Sun Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and set up their product management cell. He was responsible for the launch of mega brands like Alzolam, Monotrate, Famocid, Prodep, and Mesacol. The very successful re-launch of Angizem taught him how to re-launch a brand. During his tenure in Sun Pharma, he was trained in Brand Management by none other then the legendry Prof. Tarun Gupta (a virtual personal tutor). Apart from this he was sponsored by Sun Pharma for three weeks training in brand management at Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), Hyderabad.
In 1992, he joined Intas Pharmaceuticals as Group Product Manager and was responsible for the launch of Ciza, which made history and transformed Intas into a force to reckon with in the pharmaceutical industry. Nilol, Zen and Amtas were the three other strong Brands to be launched during his tenure as Group Product Manager. He was elevated as General Manager (Sales and Marketing) and played a major role in the growth of Intas, which ORG once described as ‘the most adorable company’.
His last assignment was with Torrent Pharmaceuticals, initially heading Psycan Divn., their super-specialty division for cardiology, diabetology, neurology and psychiatry products. He was later given the additional responsibility to launch Mind Divn., the super-specialty division for neurology and psychiatry range of products. This was successfully executed and Mind Division became a viable and profitable division in the very first year of its existence.
In 2004, he gave up his comfortable job in Torrent to start his own consultancy services. He is now a training, marketing and brand management consultant to over a dozen pharmaceutical companies including Jawa Group of Companies (Lagos, Nigeria), Medley Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Mumbai), Swiss Exports (Ahmedabad), Talent India (Ahmedabad) and Kamron Laboratories (Ahmedabad).
Apart from his expertise in Sales Management and Brand Management, he has trained over 5000 field personnel including Medical Representatives, 1st, 2nd and 3rd line Field Managers. He has also trained Brand Managers, Marketing Managers and General Managers.
