Under his leadership, the company has grown manifold, went public and acquired companies in US, Europe and Asia and attained leadership position in the country. Bhandari was also instrumental in starting a new division of the company, namely (GCS) Global Clinical Services.

Under the leadership of Bhandari, the company started off as a pharma packaging company and later diversified into pharma based services, clinical trial supply and services, packaging research and also established clinical research academies in various key markets in India. These achievements were made in the last ten years.

The company has spread its roots exponentially to Singapore, UK and US and established itself as a niche research company with over 55 patents in its kitty. Last week, the company also launched its first Global Research Centre of Excellence with an investment of US$ 12 million in Pune.
