From $0 to $600 million in 15 years. Here is how it happened. In this episode of CDMO Career Stories, host Alex Alves-Khan sits down with Amar Karandikar, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Aragen Life Sciences, to talk growth, leadership, and what it really takes to scale in the CDMO space. Amar shares how he helped grow the business from the ground up to $600 million, and why his mindset has barely changed since his early days in the industry. He speaks to the importance of valuing your team, building trust on an individual level, and why your personal brand matters just as much as your company's. One thing that stuck with us: "As long as you can add value, you don't have to question whether you can step up." A must listen for anyone in CDMO, life sciences, or business development leadership.
