Executive Summary
Michael Warmuth, senior vice president, Established Products Division, Abbott Laboratories handles emerging markets, one of the most ambitious growth areas for his company. Amongst the EMs, India stands as a sharp focus market, demonstrated last year by its acquisition of Piramal Healthcare Ltd.'s prescriptions business for $3.72 billion. Warmuth says India is on top of his priority list and though critics may question the high price that Abbott paid for the Piramal business, there is a large potential to tap the "incredibly high unmet medical need."
