Dr Kaustav Pramanik

About Me

I am a dynamic HR and Learning professional with over 17 years of experience in organisational development, instructional design, and global learning program management. With a career spanning pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and IT, I have led multicultural teams, delivered compliance-centric training, and driven business growth through innovative learning solutions.

Most recently, I have focused on understanding the potential landscape of bioanalytical training in the UAE, identifying key skill gaps among life science graduates and working professionals. This exploration laid the foundation for TAAB BioAnalytics — a hands-on training platform designed to equip Biotech, Microbiology, and Pharma graduates with practical skills aligned to global industry standards.

As the Talent & Organisation Lead at TAAB Biostudy Services - India, I remain committed to creating real-world learning experiences that not only enhance technical competencies but also improve career readiness and employability across borders.
