He continued to enrich his knowledge with a Master's degree in Biochemical Engineering and Pharmaceutical Technology, cementing his pharmaceutical expertise.

He began his career with a rotational internship at Hoechst in Mumbai, which provided a robust foundation in manufacturing and laboratory work. Post-master's, he worked at Bharat Salt and Chemicals in Orissa before immigrating to the United States in 1977 with minimal resources but abundant determination. Starting with essential roles, such as cleaning tablet machines, he quickly rose through the ranks at companies like PurePack and Barr Labs. By 1978, he was pivotal in operations at ICN Pharmaceuticals.

In 1984, he founded Able Labs, navigating the nascent generics market and overcoming significant challenges to secure approvals for critical products like Tranxene tablets and Monistat suppositories.
