Congratulations Mounika vemuri on 7.5 remarkable years at US Pharmacopeia We applaud your impactful contributions to global public health. Here's to many more years of success and collaboration! 🎉👏 #USPIndia #CareerMilestone
It’s been 7.5 years since I joined USP India. I feel so delighted and fortunate to be a part of this esteemed organization. During these 7.5 years, I have had various opportunities to broaden my skillset and elevate my career to the next level. As a scientist in the Reference Standards Laboratory (RSL), I supported collaborative testing and performed many critical experiments, which improved my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Working in the Reference Standards Laboratory (RSL) has exposed me to many advanced techniques that I had not previously encountered. Equal exposure to all these techniques is one opportunity that has motivated me the most at US Pharmacopeia. I also delivered technical content to the Hyderabad Training Institute, which was set up by the organization. I have taken part in method audits and delivered projects on time. I was also involved in systems like ERP and Apex for tracking chemicals and columns. Due to my personal reasons, I applied for a position in Reference Standard Evaluation (RSE). As part of an internal transfer, I was moved to the RSE team a year and a half ago, where I demonstrated exceptional assessment and evaluation skills. In RSE, I am part of the Pharmaceutical Analytical Impurities (PAI) team, where I review supplier CoAs, prepare test protocols, and create PAI reports. I am also involved in reviewing the ATRs (Analytical Test Reports) of Nitrosamines and preparing the reports. Besides my everyday duties, I took part in various initiatives conducted by USP India. I was a member of the Engage team and the Global Women’s Network core team. I was also part of a DEIB project - One Workforce MultiGen Strategy, which helped me realize the bias between generations. The “Mentor-Mentee Program” and other training programs, like those from the British Council, helped me not only to overcome my fragility but also improved my public speaking skills. USP always encourages open and respectful conversations (#Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Belonging). The continuous learning environment, work-life balance, and employee benefits are some of the factors that have helped me stay at USP for so long. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr.Satheesh.K. Shetty, Ravi Reddy, Dr. Partha Mukherjee, and K. Satya Kameswari for giving me an opportunity in the RSE team as part of an internal job transfer. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible opportunities and unwavering support I’ve received from Dr.Satheesh.K. Shetty, Dr. Sharad Mankumare, Linganna Purimetla, ajay babu makineni, Dr.Vani Poosapati and the entire RSL and RSE teams. Their guidance has been instrumental in my journey, and I am deeply grateful. Additionally, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Surendra Nath Koduru, Girish Kapur, Mrunal Jaywant and K. Satya Kameswari. Their unwavering support and encouragement have played a pivotal role in my success, and I truly value their contributions.
