Together, these experts represent the complete spectrum of microbiology—from global regulation and research to local execution and innovation. Attendees will gain direct access to the insights, interpretations, and real-world lessons that define successful compliance in today’s regulatory environment.

Learning By Doing: Workshops That Redefine Training

Pharmig India 2025 takes learning beyond PowerPoint slides through its live, hands-on workshop, “Experience Microbiology in Action.” Instead of passive note-taking, delegates will participate in a realistic simulation of environmental monitoring failures. Working in teams across QA, QC, EM, and manufacturing functions, they will analyze fictional failure data, use structured tools such as Fishbone Diagrams and 5 Whys, and draft actionable CAPAs. 

The session culminates with participants presenting and defending their investigations in front of global experts. This unique format helps professionals move beyond theory into practice, developing what the organizers call “inspection muscle memory,” the ability to think, react, and resolve issues as confidently as they would during an actual audit.

Case Studies: Where Real Failures Become Real Lessons

Every lesson at Pharmig India 2025 comes from real-world experiences. The event features detailed case studies based on true contamination failures faced by both Indian and international facilities. These studies go step-by-step through investigation processes, from identifying the root cause to implementing corrective actions. Attendees will explore how global companies handled challenges such as microbial excursions, environmental control breakdowns, and behavioral non-conformities. 

Sessions also delve into insights from EU GMP Annex 1 inspections, highlighting where facilities struggle most with topics like legacy CCS implementation, operator practices, and data trending systems. By comparing behavioral and technical gaps, participants will walk away with actionable knowledge that helps them anticipate and prevent similar failures within their own organizations.

Innovation In Action: The Technology Showcase

Pharmig India 2025 brings innovation out of the brochure and into the spotlight through its live demonstration zone, “Innovation in Action.” Delegates will witness real-time demonstrations of cutting-edge microbiological tools, including rapid microbial identification systems, digital EM platforms, and air visualization technologies. The session emphasizes practical application — how these tools enhance contamination control, inspection readiness, and data integrity. 

Technology innovators will be on-site to discuss real-world performance and ROI, helping participants identify which solutions best fit their facility needs. This interactive experience transforms complex technological concepts into tangible, operational insights—bridging the gap between innovation and implementation.

Fireside Chats: Real Conversations That Matter

Complementing the technical sessions are intimate fireside discussions designed to encourage honest, experience-based dialogue. One such session features David Keen, who will explore “Data Integrity – What It Is and Why It Still Matters,” reminding the industry that data reliability remains central to every audit and decision. 

Another by Manish Bhatkar, titled “How Air Visualization Fits Into Your Microbial Control Strategy,” will unpack the science and significance of airflow studies, “first air,” and air visualization in cleanrooms under Annex 1. These sessions go beyond theory, offering candid insights from industry veterans who have faced the same questions inspectors ask—and know what answers hold up under scrutiny.
