Mr. Jagdish Saxena Interview - Chairman & MD at Elder Pharma

If there’s one trait that embodies Jagdish Saxena, it’s perhaps the man’s mettle. The first public hint of that came in 1987 when Saxena was at the top of his career. In 27 years he had gone from a commissioned officer in the Indian Air Force to managing director of Dehli-based pharmaceutical Waltner Bushnell. That’s when his management dropped a bomb on him. They wanted to shutter some plants and unload 300 employees. He would have none of it. He took the 300 people who were about to lose their jobs and started Elder Pharma.
