India startup timelines are always discussed. “India is so slow, it’s so difficult to set up a study, it’s so difficult to start a study.” Let me give you a recent example.

We submitted a dossier for a radiopharmaceutical molecule in oncology on the 3rd of August, 2021. We received approval for this particular dossier on the 2nd of December, 2021 from a regulatory authority, the DCGI. It took us five months. The first site was initiated on the 14th of December, 2021, and the same site was activated on the 28th of December, 2021.

5 months, is it so long?

Yes, we are definitely not the fastest. We are definitely not the slowest. We can be compared to other countries in Europe. We can be compared to France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland. We are faster than Romania.
