Careers at Lupin — Pune

Clinical research roles at Lupin in Pune

Lupin is a sponsor, and its strongest clinical-adjacent function is regulatory affairs built around US generics. The team here prepares and maintains ANDA filings, drug master files, and lifecycle submissions for the US market, with parallel work for other regulated regions. Medical writing supports these filings and the clinical documentation behind them. Pharmacovigilance runs product safety surveillance across Lupin’s marketed portfolio. There is also sponsor-side clinical operations for company studies. Because the regulatory engine is so central, a fresher who joins Lupin often sees how a submission is assembled end to end rather than working on an isolated slice.

What Lupin looks for in freshers

Pharmacy graduates such as B.Pharm and M.Pharm fit the regulatory and safety teams well, and life sciences postgraduates also apply. Regulatory candidates gain from knowing eCTD structure, the ANDA pathway, and how deficiency responses work. Safety candidates need case-processing basics and MedDRA. Writing roles want clean scientific English and the ability to summarise data faithfully. ICH-GCP and a general awareness of USFDA expectations are treated as standard for anyone entering the regulatory-heavy environment.

Interview process

Interviews tend to run technical-first. A regulatory candidate is asked about CTD modules, query timelines, and the difference between an ANDA and an NDA; a writing candidate may be given a short document task; a safety candidate walks through a narrative. A scenario round often centres on how you would handle a regulator’s query under a deadline. HR closes on notice period, relocation, and expectations.
