The PV Associate market in Pune
Pune is one of India's strongest pharma cities, with the Hinjewadi-Wakad-Bhosari corridor housing major operations of Cipla, Sun Pharma, Lupin, Glenmark, Wockhardt, Mylan, and Emcure, alongside CROs Syngene, Veeda, Lambda, IQVIA, ICON, and Parexel.
Pune is the baseline reference for these figures. Cost of living is moderate relative to Mumbai and Bangalore, so the same CTC stretches further here, and the dense CRO cluster means job-switching between employers to accelerate pay growth is unusually practical.
