<p>Now is a strategic time to focus on the upside potential of biotechnology companies in India, as India&rsquo;s biotechnology industry is projected to grow at an average rate of <a href="http://www.india-briefing.com/news/foreign-investment-opportunities-abound-indias-growing-biotechnology-industry-10354.html/" target="_blank">30% until 2025</a>. &nbsp;India offers the global biotechnology &nbsp;industry the advantages of low cost manufacturing and sophisticated research and development. India&rsquo;s low cost manufacturing abilities offer a strong alternative to the industry in America, where companies are criticized for high drug prices, high valuation, and non-profitable operations. &nbsp;An article published on Bloomberg this year shows how Joel Roth traveled to India to obtain a version of Gilead&rsquo;s Sovaldi at<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-01/hepatitis-cruise-india-trips-among-plans-to-save-on-1-000-pill" target="_blank"> 1% of the cost.</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;This illustrates the issues with the high cost of drugs in America, and India's ability to deliver&nbsp;high&nbsp;quality and low cost products.
