Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises

The Association of Biotechnology led Enterprises (ABLE) is a consortium of leading Biotech companies of India. This body came into force due to the lack of a communication interface among the Biotech industry, the government, academic and research bodies, and domestic and international investors. It provides extensive information for students wanting to understand the industry goings-on.
