It was in 1995-96 that Suchitra Ella mooted the idea of returning to India to pursue the dream of entrepreneurship to her husband Dr. Krishna Ella. Both of them quit their promising careers in the US to relocate along with their two young children.

Dr. Krishna Ella, an University of Agricultural Sciences Graduate from Bengaluru, travelled to the US for his MS from the University of Hawaii and Ph.D., from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, before taking a faculty position at the Medical University of South Carolina-Charleston.

As the Joint Managing Director of Bharat Biotech, her vision and hard work, leadership and organisational capabilities have helped in fostering a sustainable growth path for the company. Her divergent thinking with a new outlook has helped in shaping the challenging yet path breaking efforts of Bharat Biotech.

Besides her work at Bharat Biotech, Suchitra Ella essays multiple roles in various professional and non-profit organisation.

They multitask, rise above the rest bravely to support and sustain through ups and downs,” says Ella, who adds that 2021 has been personally challenging as well. “It has been the most challenging yet satisfying year so far in terms of facing the COVID-19 virus head on, successfully developing Covaxin and enabling 24×7 efforts to maintain world-class quality, manufacture and distribute the vaccine across the country. Our goal is to fully maximise all our efforts to make India a COVID-free nation.”
