Based in Mumbai, Tripathy will report to inVentiv Health executive vice president Ray Hill.
Tripathy will be responsible for the management, development and growth of all business units in India across inVentiv’s clinical and commercial segments.
India is a key market for inVentiv’s growth plans in Asia, and the company has significant Indian operations already in place.
“India remains a top choice among global pharmaceutical and biotech companies on the skills-to-cost scale, and Anita’s deep understanding of India, IT and the life sciences sector will support our growth,” said CEO Paul Meister.
