Post successful launch in the therapeutic segment, JDHL came across an opportunity to work with a leading US-based life Science Company to upgrade their Biomolecule Homogenizer Device. In insightful conversation with The CEO Magazine Mrs Nisha said, “It was a relatively new segment and a turning point in the journey. Johari worked on the industrial design, functionality, software design and other crucial details and delivered a more user-friendly homogenisation device whose appealing aesthetics made it an industry benchmark. To date, it has been 15+ years of business association and five generations of this device built over trust and credibility.’’
