Global healthcare company Novo Nordisk plans to add 1,300 new job roles to their global business services (GBS) in India by 2026. This follows the addition of 700 jobs in 2023.
“For GBS, we have a long history in Bangalore, as we started here 17 years ago as a traditional shared service center. Now, our GBS covers the whole value chain of the pharmaceutical industry for us, be it clinical trial design, clinical operations, regulatory, medical affairs, and commercial,” Dawber told NDTV Profit.
Currently, the company employs 4,200 people in India, and the investments in the region are increasing. “The investments are significant and put simply, the Novo Nordisk global business wouldn’t survive without this GBS and the extensive footprint that we have here,” Dawber said.

Novo Nordisk India’s non-profit organization, Novo Nordisk Education Foundation (NNEF), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Karnataka to launch the ‘Changing Diabetes Barometer’ programme.

These centres will introduce a holistic approach to focused diabetes care as part of the Outpatient Department consultations.
Pilot Projects and Future Goals
The pilot projects will be launched in three districts of Karnataka—Bengaluru Urban, Dakshina Karnataka, and Yadgiri. The programme aims to map the impact of diabetes on a real-time basis and promote early diagnosis and treatment options, along with lifestyle modifications.
“Our focus is to contribute to Karnataka’s primary healthcare infrastructure by building capacity and capability. This will help bring the qualitative and quantitative aspects of this disease to the forefront within society,” said Vikrant Shrotriya, managing trustee, NNEF.
