A Cup of Chai with Vaibhav

For 15 years, Vaibhav Choudhary has been part of the Medical and Clinical Team at Fresenius Kabi, but now he is finding himself a newbie: Having recently moved from his native India to Germany, he went out of his comfort zone and dove into new challenges in a new position. “I could not resist the opportunity to develop my skills further and to manage even more diverse clinical trials,” he says.

Clinical trial management is exactly what Vaibhav does: He organizes research studies to prepare for the registration and market approval of our products in various countries around the world. Without people like him, the clinical evidence for potentially lifesaving medicines would not exist. But what is his workday actually like? “My typical day starts with a homemade chai. It’s a piece of India I take everywhere with me,” he explains. “Then I log on and meet with my counterparts, we discuss ideas and study designs, we make sure we meet regulatory requirements with our research.” 

Sounds like a lot of teamwork. “Working in my team is crucial for my job, but it’s also a pleasure. We have a truly global culture; everyone is ready to support each other. My teammates were the ones to make my move to Germany smooth and easy.” It was a true caring for life-moment for Vaibhav: “Caring for life means supporting patients and customers, but also colleagues. I am happy to have experienced this first-hand.”
