GUBBA COLD STORAGE PVT LTD

Hyderabad 2021: Needless to say what the 2019 global pandemic has done to the world financially, emotionally & mentally...Finally, after this hurricane, now we see a ray of hope, Vaccine underway . Our oneness has become efficient enough to fight the battle against Covid 19.

 

The Pharmaceutical industry has raced against the time by a big time and has brought the vaccine to mankind in the record time in less than one year, the countless and tireless efforts of scientists , doctors, pharmaceutical companies across the globe have created this wonder, which is a priceless gift to the mankind.

 

The Cold  chain industry has already shown its responsibility  in demonstrating toe to toe actions  with the Pharmaceutical industry in creating the much needed and critical cold chain infrastructure for COVID-19 vaccine from the manufacturer to the last mile delivery, till it's injected to the human body.

 

India is a developing country and we do not have many vaccine compliant cold storage facilities, the facility needs to be WHO GDP approved facilities with 21 CFR online temperature monitoring system. India has 10,000 Cold Storages which preserve, spices, fruits, vegetables,  less than 0.5% are  Pharma compliant cold storage facilities and we have a long way to go.

But India is fast catching up too and putting its best foot forward in creating the needed infrastructure in a record short time to handle & preserve vaccine. With Cold Storages in nook & corners of India, is one of  big strength & has a gap that many of these facilities are not vaccine complaint but with some infrastructural & technical changes, India can be super power in Vaccine preservation in years to come.

 

 

Gubba Kiran, CEO of Gubba Cold Storage in his various communications in webinars conveys that “need has come for the cold chain industry to be proactive approach rather than reactive in their approach &  looking  whats needed in vaccine preservation & this pro active approach allows us to  think and discover 5 steps ahead of the situation and create the needed” & he further  said  “Like the Fortune 500 companies The Pharmaceutical industry must stay  to their core competency in inventing the best medicine to the mankind and leave the non core operations like cold storage, logistics etc to specialised players like Gubba, who provide more value to the Pharma supply chain with a focused appreaoch”.
