In this episode, host Dr. Andree Bates sits down with Raj Bhattacharya, who previously headed the go-to-market function for pharma and life sciences at One Network. Raj shares his extensive background in the pharmaceutical industry, having worked in production, formulations R&D, and supply chain roles for companies like AstraZeneca and Allergan.

• The evolving role of AI in the pharmaceutical supply chain

• Challenges facing pharma supply chains, including visibility, lead times, and inventory management
