Careers at Sun Pharma — Pune

Clinical research roles at Sun Pharma in Pune

Sun Pharma is India’s largest pharmaceutical company by revenue, and its clinical, safety, and regulatory work is sponsor-side rather than outsourced services. The Pune-region teams span pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, medical writing, and sponsor clinical operations. Its portfolio runs from global generics to specialty products, so regulatory and safety staff deal with a wide mix of markets and product types. Senior medical writing sits here too, producing clinical study reports, protocols, and regulatory summaries. For a fresher, the draw is exposure to a company that files and markets its own products worldwide, which changes the texture of the work compared with a CRO.

What Sun Pharma looks for in freshers

The usual entry qualifications are B.Pharm, M.Pharm, Pharm.D, or an M.Sc in life sciences. Safety roles reward Argus and MedDRA familiarity; regulatory roles reward knowledge of CTD structure and multi-market submission logic; writing roles want the ability to turn data into accurate, readable documents. ICH-GCP is a baseline expectation. Given the company’s scale, Sun Pharma also looks for people who can work within defined SOPs without losing attention to detail.

Interview process

Candidates usually face a screening step, one or two technical rounds, and an HR discussion. Technical questions are role-specific: seriousness and causality for safety, submission structure for regulatory, document logic for writing. Scenario questions might present an unexpected safety signal or a regulatory query and ask for your first steps. The HR round covers package, shift, and readiness to join.
