About Raunak Kakade

I\'m a second-generation pharmacist trained in public health research. At J & JIM, I’ve leveraged my background in Market Access, Business Transformation, and Commercials to drive consistent supranormal growth, securing early formulary breakthroughs in Solid Tumors and Hematology TA.My work philosophy centers on the trinity of impact: aligning market, state, and social priorities to proactively co-generate equitable health outcomes. Currently, I am building the organization\'s Value stack through payer engagement strategies, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and programmatic action in Oncology to ensure patient access at scale.My core experience and interest areas lie across:• Health Policy and Health System Financing• Health Technology Assessment (HTA), Payer and Pricing research• B2G Sales & Marketing and Strategic PartnershipsCurrently, as bio-pharma carefully embraces AI/ML, I\'m developing interest in cross-border partnerships across platform R&D and strategic licensing, particularly exploring how China born assets can profoundly transform the landscape of chronic illnesses and precision medicine. Off work, among many things, I\'m either largely reading literary works of social sciences and business, or brewing into India\'s specialty coffee scene.I\'m naturally curious and open to purpose-led conversations. If something here resonates with you, or you\'d like to exchange ideas, let\'s cut the small talk. Let\'s connect!
