Dinesh Thakur on exposing Ranbaxy’s fraud | NL Interview

Dinesh Thakur is a former Ranbaxy executive who blew the whistle on massive fraud at the pharma giant.

He’s one of the prominent characters in Katherine Eban’s book Bottle of Lies: Ranbaxy and the Dark Side of Indian Pharma, an investigation into the corrupt practices of drug companies.

Thakur speaks to Madhu Trehan about how he found Ranbaxy was committing fraud, the lack of coordination and competence in the company, his role at the pharma giant, the motives behind trying to hide the malpractices once they came to light.
