In India, successful postgraduates of the course are hired in fields of Medical Biotechnology and Agricultural Biotechnology. Medical Biotechnology is an emerging sector in India, and accounts for nearly 70% of the total revenue of the biotech sectors. The companies that populate this sector could be divided into three broad categories- small startup companies that have indigenously developed biotech products, e. g. , Shantha Biotech and Bharat Biotech, large pharmaceutical firms such as Dr. Reddy Laboratory (DRL), Ranbaxy Laboratories and Wockhardt Ltd. , and start-ups, which are all set to emerge as Contract Research Organizations (Cross), mainly working for transnational corporations. The average annual starting salary offered to such postgraduates ranges between INR 10,000 and INR 20,000 varying based on the candidate's skillset and experience.

Hi Sachin,
No, both the fields are different, and so the subjects are different as well. CMA is about cost accounting/management accounting. A CMA qualified professional can be a part of the internal reporting team of a company. A CMA has to find out ways to make the company more profitable. ACCA is more about Financial Reporting, Auditing and Taxation, etc. An ACCA will be responsible for external reporting of a company which may involve producing Balance Sheets, Income Statements, and Cash Flows etc. If you look at the salary that you can expect after qualifying, then you will find that both CMA and ACCA have similar and equivalent prospects.

You have loads of options as a biotechnologist, both in India and abroad. You can explore your options in these fields: Bio-Processing, Food Processing, Pharmaceutical Research, Drug Research, Chemical laboratories, Waste management and a lot more. Some of the well known Bio-Tech companies include Amgen (USA), UCB (Belgium), Genzyme (USA), Biocon (India), MedImmune (USA), ImClone Systems (USA), Abraxis BioScience (USA), Dr Reddy's Laboratories (India), GlaxoSmithKline (India), Wockhadrt Limited (India), Krebs Biochemicals and Industries Limited (India), Nicholas Piramal India Limited (India), Wipro Healthsciences (India), IDPL (India) etc. Coming back to your question on skill improvement; post Graduation is already an added skill-set to your acedmic profile. However, adding more to it is always a bonus. So If you are looking forward to taking up any skill improvement, try to do so in the field of Biotechnology itself.
Good luck.
