LEADER SPEAK

Rendezvous with Ms.Anupama Arvind Kumar of Capgemini
How would you describe your journey so far?
It has had its ups and downs. But by far I think it's been a very
interesting journey. I started as a developer in the Telecom Vertical. I
worked with TCS for over 9 years on various projects and domains
including Telecom and Manufacturing. I have done various roles such
as developer, tester, quality lead and security lead before moving on to
managerial or leadership roles. After TCS, I joined Capgemini and I
have been here for close to 10 years now. These 10 years have been in
the financial services sector where I have had the opportunity to
manage the projects for some well known Banking clients. Currently I
am a Delivery Executive for the biggest BFSI account for Capgemini.
With each change in role, there have been challenges and of course a
lot of learning too, in the past 20 years.
We understand that you occupied diverse positions in IT sector.
What is your opinion on women diversity in IT and other fronts?
Women Diversity in most IT companies hovers around the 25 to 30%
range. The diversity percentage is higher at the lower levels and
becomes a single digit at the Senior or Executive management level.
For many women, the priorities change after marriage or once they
have kids. Many quit due to lack of a good support system at home.
Rarely, they try to come back after a long break. Some of the women
who pass the marriage or maternity phase and continue working don't
look at it as a career.
In Capgemini we are focused on improving the diversity and we run a
number of initiatives under the banner WinspirE. Some of those are
mentoring programs, women specific management and leadership
training, gender sensitization workshops, support for pregnant women
and new mothers, crèche facilities and many more.
What challenges did you face while changing domains?
I haven't actually had such challenges. At the beginning of the career,
one doesn't have much choice wrt to the domain or the project (was
the case atleast when I started). One usually gets allocated based on
their technical skill. I was a C++ developer and was allocated to a
maintenance project with Telecom client, Lucent Technologies. I
worked in this sector for about 5 years. During this time, I got a couple
of opportunities to go onsite for a few months to bring the project work
to India. On the personal front, I had my first child. After coming back
from maternity leave, I chose to do a quality lead role. I was in this role
for about a year during which time I had the opportunity to participate
in external ISO and CMMI audits. Then I played the security
coordinator role for a few months by which time I was itching to get
back to Delivery. That's when I got an opportunity to play the module
lead role for a project with P&G client. That is how I moved from
Telecom to Manufacturing line. Within 6 months, I became the Project
Manager and then started handling multiple projects for
Manufacturing sector. With that I gained confidence on my
managerial capability and didn't think twice to switch to Financial
services sector and handle the account for GE Money. This journey with
multiple sectors has helped me to pick up some domain knowledge
across the sectors.
You mentioned that you were passionate about project
management. What is it that fascinated you in that field?
As women, we are used to multi-tasking and managerial activities.
There were days where I used to pick up my kid from school, take my
mother-in-law to a doctor and also manage client calls and proposals
in parallel. While coding and testing used to give me a high in the
beginning of my career, I saw that project management was coming
out as an inherent strength. So I thought to cash on that. Technology
was also continuously changing, so at some point of time you have to
decide if you want to become a technical expert or a domain expert or if
you want to be on the managerial side. That's when I chose project
management.
Managerial side involves managing large groups of people. How
do you manage these large groups?
I have a team of about 600 people working under me. Even if the team
is huge, it is organized based on domains/technology/business units.
So it's not like all 600 are reporting to me. I have 5 to 6 people reporting
to me and about 8-10 people reporting to each of them and so on. It is
a pyramid structure. As long as the foundation is right and the team is
working cohesively towards project goals leading to client satisfaction,
I think we would have the basics right. It is a lot to do with how you
develop that culture and the team and percolate it down rather than
looking at micro-managing specifics. We have project meetings,
Floor-walks or Town-hall kind of meetings where we share
information and also motivate the team by giving a spot award or
monthly award to someone who does a good job. Apart from the formal
way of working, there are a lot of informal things that we do. We have
parties, outings, cultural and sports events. It could be a simple thing
as having coffee or lunch together at work where you don't talk about
work. So it goes beyond formal working to make sure we are well
connected.
Equality is the talk of the town. Are men and women treated
equally in the higher levels of an organization?
I, personally have not experienced any bias. When I look at a person
who reports to me, the gender does not come into consideration. For
me, it is just a manager reporting to me. Honestly, I think if you are
competent, have the drive in you and the perseverance to reach the
top, the gender does not matter. Well, there can be unconscious bias
though. For example when a developer comes back from maternity
leave, if there is an on-site opportunity then the project manager
might decide to give it to a guy even if the lady is equally competent.
The manager probably assumes that this lady has just come back from
maternity leave and she cannot handle high stress or go on-site. Well,
the lady might have all the support system and actually want to take up
the onsite opportunity. Honestly unconscious bias happens
everywhere not just at work. For instance, when I saw my younger son
crying, I asked him why he was sitting and crying like a girl. I didn't
mean that only girls can cry, but that's the wrong impression that it
created. We conduct Gender sensitization workshops for men and
women managers in Capgemini to address the unconscious bias.
Capgemini is ranked among the world's top IT outsourcing and
BPO service providers. What would you say is the reason behind
this success?
I would say the drive or the zeal to win in the champion's league
coupled with a performance oriented culture that we have in our
company is one of the key reasons. Our tag line “People matter,
Results count” reflects the DNA of the company.
What is your watchword?
Passion and perseverance. The commitment to learn and excel is what I
look for.
I see many women who come for a job but to excel one needs to look at
it as a career. There are times where priorities change for women. For
many, career takes a back seat after marriage and for a lot more it takes
a back seat after children. I also took a 6 month break after marriage
and 5 months maternity leave for both my kids. Well, all that I can say to
the girls is that don't compromise when you need time at home, but
when you come back, come with passion to succeed. It is important to
have a good support system if you want to have a successful career.
What qualities do you think one should have to work at Capgemini?
We look for permanent and continuous learners. The willingness to
learn, to keep yourself updated with the latest trends in the technology
space or the domain space, willingness to take calculated risk,
ownership and pride in the work that you do are some of the things that
we look for. The inherent quality of "I want to learn”, “I want to take
risk”, “I want to excel”, “I did this work” is what we look for.
What is the significance of students' project work at college in
your recruitment process?
Project work is one of the many things that we look for, during
recruitment. Take a project that you are passionate about and can help
you learn new things. Understanding and articulation of the big
picture, problem statement or the requirement which has led to the
creation of the project is important. If you pick projects related to the
latest Buzzwords such as Big data, Social media, Internet of
things…you have started your journey of being relevant to the
industry. Regardless of the topic, a project brings a group of people
together to work for a common goal and each one has a role to play in
order to make it successful. This is not different from the corporate
world. From the subjects' perspective, there is still a gap between
corporate world and colleges. I personally did not apply anything much
other than computer language and the analytical skills that I gained in
college. Most Organizations have an induction program to bridge the
gap between college and corporate world. I would say your project
work is the first step in the corporate direction.
What is your stand on Corporate Social Responsibility?
Very much for it. Within Capgemini there is quite a lot of work that we
do in this direction. We have programs such as Naandi, Nanhi Kali and
WeKare which are aimed at educating the girl child and also for
creating sustainable livelihood for families below the poverty line.
Many employees across the world in Capgemini voluntarily contribute
a portion of their salary for these programs. We also do our bit for
building a greener planet – Plants nursery, bicycle to go from one
campus to the other, turning off lights when leaving the seats…
For differently abled people who join our company, we have elevators
with Braille buttons, ramps and screen reader software to help them
work.
The IT sector has changed the face of Indian economy in the past
few years and is the largest employer of our country. Do you see
this trend continuing in the future?
I think, it will continue for the next few years as there are some
interesting things happening in the IT sector. May be after a few years
when a lot of work is automated then there might be a down trend.
Any suggestions to the students
The only thing I suggest to all the students is, "Go for a career, and don't
just look for a job."

Awesome
Startup
Employee
‘Gaurav Anand'
(BVRIT-N)
is making waves
at f1Circle
Read the Story @ http://yourstory.com/2015/02/awesome-employee-gaurav_anand_f1circle/
A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
“The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may
have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they
don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime,” says Gaurav
Anand of f1Circle, an exclusive bulletin board for professionals'
casual needs. It's popularly known as Craigslist for Professionals
in Hyderabad. Started in 2012, it's the bulletin board, mailing lists,
intranet of all the companies brought together, and also a platform
for companies that don't have one.
This coming from a young yet-to-graduate employee who has
spent a mere 30 days with f1Circle is reflective of his value as an
employee. It's a person who, in the very early stages of his career,
relates and associates with the company and his co-workers, and
is cognizant of the importance of team effort.
Santosh Shukla, the Co-founder and Director of f1Circle, says, “The
question is not 'Why Gaurav?' but 'Why not Gaurav?'We want to
recognize him for his efforts and attitude, and set an example for
the youngsters out there that you can make a positive impact from
day one and people notice it.”
According to Santosh, Gaurav is fresh, open and ready to be
groomed into a great asset to the organization. “We know that we
can delegate some work to him and move on to different work,
knowing very well that it'll be handled in the best manner
possible.”
Santosh sees him evolve into an engineer and a team leader very
soon, because of his self-motivation and leadership potential.
Graduation soon
Born and brought up in Hyderabad, Gaurav is pursuing his B.Tech
in Information Technology from B V Raju Institute of Technology
(B.V.R.I.T).He will graduate in May 2015.
He did his schooling from Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2, Air Force
Academy and has done competitive swimming at school level.
His internship earlier at a startup in the career counselling sector
as a software intern gave him good exposure to workplace
functioning and culture. It gave him the confidence to kickstart his
career. Currently in his last semester of graduation, he wanted to
work and enhance his learning by contributing to a startup, which
is when he came across f1Circle.
As an enthusiastic undergraduate, Gaurav attended plenty of
corporate events, talks and associated with startup groups. And
during a few of these, was exposed to the success stories of
entrepreneurs. It motivated him to join a startup.
Founder speak
Santosh says that Gaurav's biggest strength is his positive
attitude, his zeal for learning and the drive to complete tasks. “He is
ready to learn and do what it takes for the organization. In one
month, he's contributed to f1Circle at various fronts- as part of his
training on RoR on which f1 Circle platform is built, he's building
an Agile Project Management app we intend to use in-house. He
has volunteered and actively contributes to their social media
presence, and has also developed content for their in-bound
content management strategy.
“At his age, very few people would try to understand about the
business needs of the organization, and be open to share their
suggestions to take the business forward.”
TRULY TRADITIONAL
The values, beliefs, ways of life, aesthetic and
symbolic standards and forms of the society
constitute its tradition which maintains
continuity with the past. Human growth or
societal growth mostly is engulfed in practicing
customs and traditions. Strongly holding this
belief, as a part of its philosophy BVRIT
organized the traditional day in the month of
January, 2015. The joy of celebrating our
traditions and customs magnanimously
energized the students in the campus. The
objective of Unity in Diversity was noticeable.
Sri T. Harish Rao, the honourable minister of
Irrigation, Govt. of Telangana was the chief
guest of the day. While addressing the jubilant
crowd, the minister expressed that the students
of BVRIT are fortunate enough to have the
management which cares for their necessities
and aspirations. On this occasion the chairman
Sri. K. V. Vishnu Raju announced that SVES is
always at the forefront to support Mission
Kakatiya financially and technically. The Local
MLA and other leaders were also present on the
occasion. The festive environment reached its
peak with the dandiya, dance numbers and
traditional food stalls. The campus reminded
everyone of the countryside.

A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
T E T E - A - T E T E
with Prof. Wolfram Stanek
Prof. Wolfram Stanek is a multifaceted personality in the field of education.
He is a Consultant & Author for Innovative Projects IP, coach, researcher,
seminar manager, lecturer & advisor for R&D, Engineering, and Knowledge
Management and Executive Education with focus on international
universities, companies and media. He heads the lab of “Automation and
Robotics” at the University of Applied Sciences Koblenz (HSK/DE). He
delivered lectures on a wide variety of subjects ranging from Automation,
Robotics, Electrodynamics, Mechatronics, Mathematics, Web Design, and
Knowledge Management to Memory Training. He is a resource person for
many workshops and training programmes in several international
universities of repute, institutions and companies. Professor Stanek's
academic papers and books have appeared in English, German and Russian.
In his talk with Dr. V. Rama Devi, HOD of Basic Sciences, VIT he shares his
ideas on knowledge management.
A hearty welcome to Vishnu Institute of
Technology. Let's begin with your name,
Sir. How do we pronounce your name?
Prof. Stanek: Thank you. Well, I am
Wolfram Stanek. People call me
Wolfram and those close to me call me
Wolf. So, the first half of my name is
Wolf. The second one is ram, ram
rhymes with your God Ram, Rama, an
incarnation of Vishnu. There you are
with Wolf and Rama, Wolfram.
Amazing Sir. So you know Vishnu and
Rama. How do you know our mythology?
You have an international exposure
visiting many countries. How come you
remember our mythology so well?
Prof Stanek: When I visit a country I
make it a point that I know the culture,
geography, population and religion of
that particular place. It helps me in
relating to the people well. I can name
all the states of your country including
the recently formed ones. I can also give
you the capitals of the states and the
population.
Sir, I doubt how many of us can give this
information. How do you remember all
this data?
We n e e d t o approach t h e d at a
systematically. As we read, we need to
apply certain techniques. For example
this is how I remember the name of the
state Madhya Pradesh. I spell it as Madhya
– Pra- desh. The word dhya is like
hydra. When I saw the statues of the
mother goddess in India, with multiple
hands, it resembled hydra with many
tentacles. In Greek mythology hydra is
a multi headed serpent. I associated the
part dhya with hydra. So Madhya
represented the Mother goddess.
Coming to Pradesh, the first part is like
the first part of praise. So my trick was
that the mother goddess praises
Vishnu. You see. Vishnu is my anchor
word. I came to India to visit Sri Vishnu
Educational Society. I connect the
words related to India to Vishnu.
That's how I remember Madhya
Pradesh. This is how we can manage to
remember information.
So this is a memory technique, a part of
knowledge management. It looks quite
interesting and simple. But is it possible
to do it for everything that we need to
remember?
Prof Stanek: Suppose you are reading
an article or a book, we need to apply
the memory techniques while reading
itself. First find the structure, then use
pictograms. Later, link the concept to
the picture. Remember the acronym
BRAIN. When you come across a
concept, build a picture around it, and
connect them. Use your senses in the
process of association. Imagination
plays a vital role. Structuring the
thought or concept also is useful.
BRAIN Power:
B = Build pictures (moved, coloured),
R = Rightly connected
A = All senses (including emotions) and
Associations (directly, indirectly ...)
I = Imagination (fantasy, creativity),
N = Numbering, structure (system,
order)
What made you take this turn from
E n g i n e e r i n g t o K n o w l e d g e
Management?
Engineering is a complicated system.
All that we acquire from basic sciences
like Physics to the core area are
r e quired. We n e e d t o u s e t h i s
knowledge effectively. We need to
remember the concepts. In the process
o f a c q u i r i n g a n d a s s i m i l a t i n g
knowledge, I came across Memory
books. But the influential factor was
the World Memory Championship
o r g a n i z e d i n G e r m a n y. T h e
participants had to remember many
things in a specific period of time. This
was possible through the use of certain
techniques. It was then that I got
interested in memory techniques.
Gradually I strengthened myself in
Knowledge Management.
Could you elaborate on Knowledge
Management?
The techniques of good reading, speed
reading and memory should be taught
in the first year itself, so that the
students internalize and learn and
apply the techniques learnt so that
learning becomes easy for us. I
remember a final year dental student
saying, “O my God! This certainly is an
effective method. But of what use is it to
me that I learn this in my final year
when I ought to have learnt in my first
year!” So let's integrate knowledge
management into our learning.
Knowledge management gives a
competitive edge to your performance.
This is not limited to colleges or
universities alone. Many companies,
public institutions and organizations
utilize this strategy.
What made you to choose Sri Vishnu
Educational Society?
In fact, I was invited by three other
universities. But I found one thing in
common. Your caption is the same as
mine, Universal learning. This is what
attracted me to the society. I am glad to
f i n d such a n e n c o u r aging a n d
supportive management.
Sir, what advice would you give to our
students and faculty?
Prof Stanek: The students should be
engineers, should be good inventors.
All should think interdisciplinary. The
faculty and the students here are good.
You people are good at software or let
us say, micro controllers. I find that
there is still more potential for
improvement. First you need to be
interdisciplinary. The learning should
b e i nt e g r at e d . T h e n u s i n g t h e
visualizing process the concepts can be
remembered; for example the CAD
CAM subject. You should be able to
visualize the process while learning the
concepts. Along with the concepts, to
deal with the large amount of data,
knowledge management is important.
It would do well if we could have a
centre for knowledge management.
See, Mnemonics works. Write your
name on the paper. It is Rama Devi.
That's simple. Your first name rhymes
with Lord Rama, the incarnation of
Vishnu. Lord Rama is a God. In Latin,
God is indicated by the word deus. That
links me to Devi. So I remember you are
Rama Devi working at Vishnu. It is as
simple! (he says signing off with a
smile) and I am happy to have met the
faculty and students.
Thank you Sir. We do wish the learning
of difficult concepts becomes as easy,
interesting and memorable as this.

ANNUAL DAY

Equality for women is progress for all
Every year, Shri Vishnu Engineering College for Women
celebrates its annual day. It is not simply annual day of
celebrations but it is day of promises and commitments for the
well being of women. SVECW always celebrates its annual day
on the day of International Women's Day. It is true that India with
more gender equality has better economic growth. Companies
with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements
that include women are more durable. Parliaments with more
women enact more legislation on key social issues such as
health, education, anti-discrimination and child support.
It is a fact that women spend the majority of their income on the
well-being of their children and family. By ending women's
poverty, we will sustainably and significantly reduce extreme
poverty in our country. So, it is a day which marks the
celebration of achievements of women across fields. Securing
their equality would not only benefit them, but everyone as well.
No doubt, women and girls have realized that 21st century is for
them. They are progressing very well in every field. Also, they
have proved to be good engineers. But this number is not
enough. Every girl should get inspired from the lives of
successful women and increase their number for their own
sustainability and the prosperity of our country at large. The girls
of SVECW are fortunate to witness the International Women's
Day as their Annual Day every time.
On this day Smt. Uma Devaguptapu, Director – HR, Signode India
(Asia Pacific), Smt. P. Sowmya Latha, Dy. Superintendent of
Police, Narasapur and Smt. D. Pushpa Mani, Revenue Divisional
Officer, Narasapur were the Guests for the function. Students
participated enthusiastically and it was a day of excitement and

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION
Education makes people healthier.
Education helps to save many lives.
Education boosts economic growth.
Education helps us to earn money.
Education helps to raise crop.
Education fosters peace in the society
and among nations.
Education helps to eradicate poverty.
Educations promote rights for women
and children in the society.
Education encourages good
governance, transparency,stability &
keeps a check against corruption.
Education helps people aware of
their fundamental rights.
Education is the most important process in life; it is
passing on knowledge from one generation to another.
The level of education helps people earn respect and
recognition. The importance of education is quite clear. It
is knowledge of putting one's potentials to maximum use.
One can safely say that a human being is not in proper
sense till he is educated.
This importance of education is basically for two
reasons. The first is that the training of a human mind is
not complete without education. Education makes man a
right thinker. It tells man how to think and how to make
decision.
The second reason is that only through the attainment of
education, man is enabled to receive information from
the external world, to acquaint himself with past history
and receive all necessary information regarding the
present. Without education, man is as though in a closed
room and with education he finds himself in a room with
all its windows open towards outside world.
Herbert George Wells was not exaggerating when he
said, in his Outline of History: "human history becomes
more and more a race between education and
catastrophe." If we continue to leave vast sections of the
people of the world outside the orbit of education, we
make the world not only just less, but also less secure. As
it happens, widening the coverage and effectiveness of
basic education can have a powerfully preventive role in
reducing human insecurity of nearly every kind.
When people are illiterate, their ability to understand and
invoke their legal rights can be very limited, and
educational neglect can also lead to other kinds of
deprivation. Basic education is not just an arrangement
for training to develop skills, it is also recognition of the
nature of the world, with its diversity and richness, and an
appreciation of the importance of freedom and
reasoning.
Education is
Self Empowerment
Financial Stability
and Dignity of Life
On the Job
Efficiency
Job Seeker vs.
Job Provider
An Idle Mind is
The Devil’s Workshop
Receiving a good education
helps empower you, thus
making you strong enough to
look after yourself in any given
situation. It keeps you aware of
your given surrounding as well
as the rules and regulations of
the society you're living in.
Another importance of
education is that it helps you
gain sufficient academic
qualification so that you are
able to get suitable
employment at a later stage.
This is why college education is
very important after high
school and must not be taken
for granted. When faced with
the option of choosing between
a highly qualified candidate and
a not so educated candidate,
the employers will most
probably go in for the qualified
person.
There will come a time, when
you will no longer feel the need
to be working as someone's
mere employee. You would want
to take charge and control over
your own life and income. This is
when you will decide to become
a self-employed individual, who
would like to watch his / her own
ideas take realistic form.
Regular study gives people of all age groups
something substantial and challenging to do. It
helps them think and use their idle hours, doing
something productive and worthwhile.
Education need not be purely academic and
may include reading for leisure or as a passion
for literature, philosophy, art, politics,
economics, or even scientific research. There
is no limit, to all that you can teach yourself,
only if you take the interest to learn and grow
as an individual.
To conclude education plays its continuous role in all
spheres of life, and it identifies the person's ability to
adapt to the life that society provides today. The people
who have opportunity to learn should never take it for
granted, for only education will lead them to successful
future.
Education plays its continuous role in all spheres of life.
The reason being, that if we are aware of the drawbacks
of a decision and we know about the possible
contingencies and the collateral damage, our
consequent actions would be wiser, which would help us
to keep danger at bay at all times.
Hence, education is not restricted to study hard and
score good results. It also means to conquer new things
towards the betterment of mankind. An educated
individual can create a big difference between evil and
good. Education is a big social responsibility of every
nation. Education is a must because the empowerment
and knowledge of an individual can transfigure his family
first and society at last.

Time to time I looked at the clock
Wishing that the time would flow
It slipped like an eel from the catch
Leaving just the memories to watch
It secretly lead the hard work as success to hatch
Hiding the mysteries to wait for someone to open
the latch
Now I plead it to haste
To get me close to my feast
Sluggish it moved, its trait, was tough to get rid
Shaking my hope, flickering my faith, leading
patience to putrid
It is so chaste, blaming it is mere waste…
So hold its reins and pull its mane
Tame it to cast your way; you will not be in vain.

DRUGS
DISCOVERY
DEVELOPMENT
The discovery and development of new medicines is a long,
extremely complicated and challenging undertaking. It is the
mission of researchers from government, academia and
industry to try to understand the underlying cause of the
diseased condition and turn this basic understanding of what
causes a disease into a new treatment. The process of
developing one new medicine from the earliest stages of
discovery to the time it is available for treating patients involves
two stages: Drug discovery and Drug development. This
research, even with new tools and insights takes 10-15 years of
work to be able to bring a safe and effective new treatment to
patient. The drugs that were in the early stages of discovery
fifteen to twenty years ago, during the days of Titanic, Bill
Clinton and when internet began to connect a host of computers
are the ones that are recently coming into the market. The
average cost to research and develop one successful drug
(includes the thousands of failures!) is estimated to be $800
million to $1 billion. For every 5,000-10,000 compounds that
enter the research and development, only one compound
ultimately receives approval for patient use.
Drug Discovery
Understanding the disease is the first step to drug discovery. A
disease needs to be thoroughly understood before any
potential new medicine can be discovered. The cells in our
bodies carry out complex molecular reactions to perform
biochemical processes like digesting our lunch,
breathing, moving our limbs, thought processes in
our mind and so on. A mistake in one reaction might
stop an important protein from being produced or
lead to too much production. Since proteins
interact with each other in living cells and change
t h e s p e c i fi c t i s s u e t h e y a r e i n , t h i s
malfunctioning finally affects the entire patient.
This is called a diseased state. Drug molecules
affect these pathways by interacting with
certain proteins or enzyme molecules along
the pathway, making them more active or less
active, or changing their activity all together
to mitigate the disease. Genes or DNA (a part
of DNA is called a gene) contain the
information needed to make these functional
molecules called proteins. Thus the basis for
treating a problem is to understand how the
genes are altered and how that affects the
proteins they encode.
Out of this understanding of the underlying cause
of a disease, emerges “target,” which is generally a
gene or protein that is involved in a particular
disease. The drug target may be involved in a
disease, but it must be shown to be critical in the
disease process and that can potentially interact with
and be affected by a drug molecule (drug-able). These
stages are called Target Identification and Target validation.
Armed with this knowledge of the disease, scientists are ready
to begin looking for a drug. The process includes early research
that involves the Identification of a molecule or “lead
compound” that may act on their target to alter the disease
course (the lead compound can ultimately become a new
medicine if successful over long years of testing), its synthesis,
characterization, and screening for therapeutic efficacy to
identify a new promising drug candidate. The process takes
approximately 3-6 years. By the end, researchers hope to have a
promising drug candidate to test in people. In the past most
drugs have been discovered either by identifying the active
ingredient from nature to find interesting compounds for
fighting disease or by serendipitous discovery. While nature
still offers many useful substances, now there are other ways to
approach drug discovery. Thanks to the advances in chemistry,
chemists can also create molecules from scratch and use
sophisticated computer modeling strategies to predict what
A Journey from
Disease to cure
The task of conceiving a new medicine to be able to bring a safe and effective new
treatment to patient is a long and complicated one. Here is a comprehensive look at
the laborious journey of discovery and development of new medicines and a
pharmaceutical perspective on the role of engineering and technology in
accelerating the process and making it economically viable.
type of molecule may work.
The “lead compounds” go through a series of Safety and
Toxicological studies to be assessed for safety, Absorption,
Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and demonstrated to be
non-toxic. ADME/Tox studies are performed in living cells and
animals. The results of these studies help scientists prioritize
lead compounds early in the discovery process. At this stage,
teams of biologists and chemists work together closely, to
optimize the prioritized leads by altering their structure to make
them more effective and safer. They are retested by biologists
and the resulting compound is the “candidate drug'.
Simultaneously, scientists also begin to think about how the
drug will be made, its mode of delivery (tablet, syrup, injection
or spray etc, generally called formulation) and large-scale
manufacturing.
The last stage in drug

l in vitro (in

in vivo tests (in

cultures and animals) to determine if the drug is safe enough for
human testing. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
requires the drug candidates to be thoroughly tested before
approving them to be studied in humans. Since larger
quantities will be required for clinical trials in humans,
researchers at this stage must also work on scaling up of the
manufacture of the drug candidate. At the end of several years
of intensive work, the discovery phase concludes. After starting
with approximately 5,000 to 10,000 compounds, scientists
would filter them down to around five “candidate drugs,” which
will be studied in clinical trials.
A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI VISHNU EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
Dr. Neelima D. Tangellamudi is a
doctorate in Organic Chemistry
from IIT Madras with a long pre-
PhD teaching experience. She did
a 4-year post doctoral research in
medicinal chemistry in the
capacity of a principal investigator
for several funded projects, at Dr.
Reddy's Institute of Life Sciences, UoH and
subsequently worked as a research scientist for two
years in the same organization on design and
development of novel methodologies for discovery of
new chemical entities for infectious diseases, diabetes
and cancer. She is currently working as an Assistant
Professor in Chemistry at BVRIT, Narsapur, Medak.
Drug development
Drug development is the process of bringing a new
pharmaceutical drug to the market once a “candidate drug” has
been identified through the process of drug discovery. Drug
development includes Clinical trials of candidate drugs on
humans. A candidate drug must go through extensive studies
in humans, and must prove to be safe and effective before the
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approves it for market
release. Before any clinical trial can begin, an Investigational
New Drug (IND) application must be filed by the researchers
with the FDA. Physicians carry out each trial working with
patients in hospitals, offices and clinics, constantly reviewed by
the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and coordinating closely
with the sponsor company. In Phase 1 trials the candidate drug
is tested in people for the first time with about 20 to 100 healthy
volunteers to discover if the drug is safe in humans. In Phase 2
trials researchers evaluate the candidate drug's effectiveness in
100 to 500 patients and examine if there are any possible shortterm
side effects In Phase 3 trials researchers study the
candidate drug in about 1,000-5,000 patients to gather
significant amount of data about safety, efficacy and the overall
benefit-risk relationship of the drug and provides the basis for
labeling instructions to help ensure proper use of the drug.
This phase also includes plans for full scale production
and preparation for FDA approval. The clinical trials
process is both expensive and time-consuming,
taking an average of 6-7 years and ends more often
in failure than success.
Once all three phases of the clinical trials are
complete and demonstrate that the
experimental medicine is both safe and
effective, a New Drug Application (NDA)
must be filed to FDA. FDA thoroughly
reviews the NDA with an advisory
committee that it appoints and votes on
whether the FDA should approve an
application and under what conditions.
Making a high-quality drug now goes
from small-scale to large-scale that
requires great care and high level of skill
in manufacturing. This process could take
0.5 to 2 years. The new medicine is now
ready for release into market but research
on this new medicine continues even after
approval. The drug is carefully monitored in
“Phase 4” clinical trials to evaluate long-term
safety and periodic reports are submitted to
FDA.
Several inter-disciplinary teams like medicinal
chemists, analytical chemists, pharmacologists,
pharmacists, biomedical engineers and clinicians
work together in this elaborate process of drug
discovery and development. Increasing understanding
of disease and human biology and expanding scientific
knowledge is opening up new possibilities for breakthrough
in medicines. In this context, pharmaceutical engineering
would be an innovative approach that could bring in qualitative
principles and quantitative training of engineering to
complement these other scientific fields already involved in
drug development. The continually improving technological
capabilities might bring in economically viable manufacturing
processes and also accelerate the drug discovery and
development processes. A pharmaceutical engineer could be
well placed to take a small scale drug discovery and
development processes and upscale to industrial production
and improve market delivery with efficacy. We are moving into
an era where drugs could be dispensed via nano-robots in the
blood stream. Gazing through a crystal ball, the vision of a
pharmaceutical engineer positioning himself to pioneer
nanotechnology through the 21st century is only getting more
vivid.

That ray strikes and I blossom,
That drop hits and I germinate,
That irritant comes and I was born,
That zephyr and I end up in a new world,
That gloaming sky and I get acknowledged,
That sparkle between them and I was made,
That aggregated emission and I became colorful,
That warmth, it hatched and I peep out,
And this is the beauty my eyes visualize.

THE CLARION CALL
Reduce Carbon Footprints or Perish
Green Greetings to all! Today the
world is constantly struggling to
provide a healthy environment to
mankind. We have unconsciously
become the foes of 'Mother Nature'-
t h e s o u r c e o f o u r l i v e s a n d
sustenance. It was COP 11 that
created a big buzz about biodiversity.
As part of the Corporate Social
Responsibility many multinational
companies are following 'Green
initiatives' all over the world.
The first thing that attracted me to
BVRITH was the lush green pristine
campus! Green thoughts for a
greener society are the urgent need
of the hour. Following on the
footsteps of M. Visvesvaraya, our
young engineers in the making
should use their knowledge and
technical expertise to come up with
ingenious ideas to conserve energy,
water and other non-renewable
natural resources. Just as in CSR, we
have to give back to the nation so also
to Nature! The task is not difficult at
a l l . W e m u s t h a v e c e r t a i n
environmental goals and follow them
conscientiously. Renewable and
alternate sources of energy will not
only help our institution but also
strengthen the hands of our nation.
It is heartening to note that BVRIT
Narsapur Campus has already taken
a plunge into Solar Energy and
students are active participants in
this noble endeavor. Go solar is the
new mantra at B V Raju Institute of
Technology. The rooftops of the
buildings have been installed with
solar photovoltaic plant. BVRIT is
harnessing solar power to the tune of
over 100kWp .This plant will generate
more than 1.5 lakh units every year.
T h e a v e r a g e m o n t h l y p o w e r
generated is approximately 12600
KWH. The plant provides substantial
c o s t s a v i n g s o n t h e p o w e r
consumption for the College.
You Have the Power to
Reduce our Carbon Footprint
We are committed to reducing our energy use and minimizing our campus
carbon footprint, but we can't do it alone. We need students to do their part
by reducing energy and water consumption. The faculty and students
should join hands and see that on a daily basis certain rules are stringently
followed. Everyone knows these simple tips but somehow we do not apply
them and application of knowledge is the best use of what we learn. This is
your chance to show leadership at BVRITH and do something good for our
planet. Remember-You have the Power.
Dr. Deepika R. Gardner BVRITH
Assistant Professor in English
