Fneur, success is not a destina-
tion but a journey of pursuing
excellence while amplifying personal
values of honesty, perseverance,
prosperity and a spirit full of never-
ending innovation. Over a long period,
these values get ingrained in the very
foundation of the entrepreneur’s every
endeavour and their innate nature.
Thus, enlightening an era, mighty
leaders become synonymous with the
rarest jewel in this universe called
trust.
Thankfully, Indian healthcare, in its
most crucial phase of battling the
global pandemic, emerged as a
trustworthy example to emulate
because of these awesomely inspira-
tional entrepreneurial leaders, standing
out as beacons of renewed hope,
resolute willpower, and spirited
innovations.
The mightiest in this league, Abhinav
Thakur’s journey is not only remark-
able but also serves as a source of
inspiration for aspiring business
leaders and seasoned entrepreneurs
alike. The dynamic Managing
Director at Accurex, Abhinav’s story
is a testament to the power of determi-
nation, ingenuity, and unwavering
commitment to a noble cause. His
entrepreneurial journey, characterized
by challenges, resilience, and
transformative impact, has carved a
path through the competitive and ever-
changing landscape of the biomedical
industry.
An Innovative Leadership Charisma
Last year, Abhinav was invited as a
'Corporate Speaker' at the 'Ardor
Comm Media Group' virtual sympo-
sium ‘New Normal - Healthcare
Leadership Summit & Awards 2022,’
held on 11th and 12th March 2022.
In another proud moment, Abhinav
was awarded Exceptional Leader of

held on 10 December 2021 with
participants from 28 countries.

for pursuing innovation to develop
game-changing products and services,
helping to improve customer experi-

Earlier, Abhinav was awarded the title

of Healthcare marketing.
Abhinav has also been awarded the

Noteworthy Healthcare Leaders

CIOTimes.
Moreover, under Abhinav’s exemplary
leadership, the brand Accurex received
the coveted award of The Best
Healthcare Brands to Watch in 2021
by Business Stalwarts in Jan 2021.
Skilled in Business Planning, Sales,
Medical Devices, Strategic Planning,
and Business Development before
becoming an experienced Managing
Director with a demonstrated history of
working in the medical device industry,
Abhinav got his specialized Seed
Transformation Program certificate
from Stanford University Graduate
School of Business.
Prior to that, he received his graduation
degree in BSc from the University of
California, Davos.
A strong business development
professional, from Jan 2012 to July
2019, Abhinav was voluntarily
associated as a Treasurer with the
Association of Diagnostic Manufactur-
ers of India – whose main is to provide
a platform for Indian IVD manufactur-
ers so that they can voice their
concerns and resolve issues.
Not only that, but Abhinav was also the
Jt. Coordinator for Mumbai region at
the Association of Indian Medical
Device Industry (AI-MED). It is an
Umbrella Association of Indian
Manufacturers of Medical Devices
covering all types of Medical Devices,
including consumables, disposables,
and diagnostics equipment. It repre-
sents the interest of over 700 Manufac-
turers of Medical Devices to cover
issues and represent the manufacturers.
An Accurex Acumen
Reflecting on his journey, Abhinav
says the saga of his entrepreneurship
traces its roots back to a visionary, his
father, Mr Anil Thakur, a revered
name in the diagnostic industry.
Serving as the Founder and former
Managing Director of Accurex, Mr
Thakur brought over 30 years of rich
experience in diagnostics. His profes-
sional journey began in 1976 when he
embarked on a promising career with
Miles India Ltd., a prominent USA-
based multinational specializing in
diagnostics.
Throughout his tenure at Miles India
Ltd. until 1984, Mr Thakur held pivotal
roles within the organization, shaping
his expertise and perspective. In 1984,
he laid the foundation for Accurex.
This venture, specializing in clinical
biochemistry, pioneered enzymatic

Abhinav states proudly, “A notable
distinction was our self-sufficiency,
producing everything in-house – from
raw materials to finished products.”
Mr Thakur's influence on Accurex was
immeasurable. “Tragically, he left us
on 25 January 2004, yet his ideals and
vision continue to steer our path. It's
our commitment to his dream that
propels Accurex towards leadership in
the Asia-Pacific region,” says Abhinav
with an emotional resolve.
Returning to India from the USA,
Abhinav assumed the mantle of
leadership to sustain the family legacy.
His education in Biochemistry and
Management at the University of
California, Davis, along with a degree
in Managerial Economics and electives
in biochemistry, fortified Abhinav’s
foundation for this journey.
Fostering the Kingdom of Perfection
Sharing an interesting insight about the
company's distinctive name, Abhinav
reveals that their company name
comprises two words, ACCU and
REX. ‘ACCU’ refers to the word
‘accurate.’
“Its definition, as the Oxford
Dictionary describes, portrays the
essence of our existence. ‘REX’, a
Latin word for ‘king’, speaks of our
authoritative influence in the diagnostic
industry. Guided by a clear vision and
driven by innovation, Accurex has
gained considerable expertise in
manufacturing and marketing of In-
vitro Diagnostic reagents.” It has built
a reputation for quality products, a
strong financial base and dynamic
marketing. “Our Headquarter and
Marketing Office is located in Mumbai,
the commercial capital of India.”
Before Accurex, Abhinav briefly
contributed to the California Diabetes
Prevention Program under the
Department of Health Care Services
(DHCS). This stint illuminated the
impact of modern lifestyle shifts on
health. The rise of non-communicable
diseases (NCDs) due to sedentary
lifestyles and processed diets emerged
as a pressing concern.
Progressing at the Forefront of a
Revolution
Abhinav’s American background
equips him with insights and skills that
drive Accurex's growth. It's a fusion of
his heritage and international experi-
ence that fuels his and his team’s
dedication to revolutionizing the
diagnostics landscape. He insists,
“We're committed to realizing the
vision Mr Anil Thakur envisioned,
ensuring that Accurex stands at the
forefront of progress and innovation.”
According to Abhinav, in the eyes of
their valued clients, the bedrock of
admiration is undoubtedly trust. As he
has always believed, ‘Trust is the
foundation of any strong brand; it's the
bridge that connects businesses and
customers.’
“Over the course of 38 years, we've
meticulously crafted a formidable
brand anchored in trust, becoming
synonymous with reliability and
integrity,” he states.
This invaluable trust has been nurtured
and fortified through decades,
bestowing upon them a reservoir of
goodwill within the diagnostics
industry. They're proud to be recog-
nized as an ethical enterprise, offering
nothing short of high-quality diagnos-
tics products. “It's this commitment to
ethical practices, excellence, and the
unwavering trust we uphold that
resonates deeply with our clients and
distinguishes us in the competitive
landscape,” claims Abhinav.
Sharing their USPs, Abhinav says that
at the core of their firm's identity lies
an unwavering commitment to quality,
a principle that has defined their
journey for the past 38 years. A
standout aspect that distinguishes them
is their stringent adherence to high-
quality standards, underpinning
Accurex’s position as a frontrunner in
the industry. This commitment
translates into a remarkable batch-to-
batch consistency across their manu-
facturing operations, ensuring that
every product upholds the hallmark of
excellence.
Guided by a clear vision and
driven by innova on, Accurex
has gained considerable
exper se in manufacturing
and marke ng of In-vitro
Diagnos c (IVD) reagents.
20. One of their most distinctive features is
their provision of External Quality
Assurance with Every reagent kit.
This signifies their dedication to not
just delivering products but also
fostering an environment of trust and
assurance for their clients. Going
beyond the ordinary, Accurex is the
sole company offering a Performance
Data Sheet with every product pack.
“This sheet comprehensively
presents the evaluation data for each
of our offerings, backed by six
Internationally Recognized control
sera.”
NEED the SHEET.
“This positions us not just as a product
or service provider but as a partner in
our clients' pursuit of excellence,” says
Abhinav.
A Constant Pursuit of Brilliance
Sharing his inspiration behind
venturing into the biomedical sector,
Abhinav recalls that in 1984, con-
fronted with India's heavy reliance on
imported diagnostic reagents, their
founder, Mr. Anil Thakur, was stirred
into action. He saw the pressing need
to make diagnostics affordable for all,
leading him to establish indigenous
manufacturing. This pivotal decision
has driven Accurex’s journey, ensuring
advanced diagnostics are accessible to
the masses. Mr. Thakur's vision has
kindled lasting change in healthcare
accessibility, propelling the organiza-
tion forward with unwavering commit-
ment. “This inspiration fuels our
ongoing pursuit of innovation and
affordability of diagnostics,” shares
Abhinav.
Telling more about Accurex’s offerings
and aspects that make it stand out in
today’s knowledge economy, Abhinav
says that Accurex presents a compre-
hensive range of cutting-edge and
dependable medical diagnostic
solutions. “Within laboratory diagnos-
tics, our offerings span clinical
chemistry and haematology reagents,”
he adds.
In the instrument domain, they provide
semi-automated and fully-automated
clinical chemistry and 3-part and 5-part
haematology analyzers. Their portfolio
extends to urinalysis test strips, meters,
and rapid immunology tests. In the
Point of Care (POC) segment, they
offer blood glucose meters, haemoglo-
bin meters, HbAlc meters,
immunofluorescence meters, uric acid
meters, and corresponding test strips.
In today's rapidly evolving knowledge
economy, innovation assumes para-
mount importance. “We remain
committed to continuous innovation,
driven by the dual goals of
affordability and accessibility in
diagnostics testing,” assures Abhinav.
The Crucial Tech-Knowl-Edge
As an experienced leader, Abhinav’s
opinion on how adopting modern
technologies like AI and ML impacts
his industry and how Accurex adapts to
the change is highly optimistic. He
says that in the realm of in vitro
diagnostics, integrating modern
technologies like AI and ML is a game-
changer. These innovations have the
potential to enhance accuracy and
efficiency dramatically. “At Accurex,
we're embracing this change by
implementing AI-driven algorithms to
optimize our diagnostic processes. This
transition empowers us to provide
more precise results, anticipate health
trends, and make informed decisions
that ultimately elevate patient care,” he
informs.
Our commitment
translates into a
remarkable batch-to-
batch consistency
across our
manufacturing
opera ons, ensuring
that every product
upholds the hallmark
of excellence.
21.

23. In another reflection, Abhinav says that
they believe in the pivotal role of
robust processes and systems in the
face of current industry challenges.
Their focus lies in fortifying these
elements to drive business scalability.
“Systems, akin to a foundation,
provide the groundwork for growth. As
a sturdy foundation supports a tall
structure, our strong systems empower
business expansion.”
To tackle these challenges head-on,
Abhinav says they're fostering a
culture of learning and development,
fortifying their organization and
ensuring the groundwork for successful
scaling.
Abhinav further says that it is
immensely crucial for today’s entrepre-
neurs to innovate, break the conven-
tions, and become a disruptive force
positively. Disruption has become a
defining feature in an era marked by
rapid technological advancements.
Failing to embrace this change could
result in being left behind by it.
Therefore, for today's entrepreneurs,
the imperative is clear: innovation,
challenging conventions, and fostering
positive disruption are vital strategies
to stay ahead of the curve. The ability
to initiate change, adapt swiftly, and
create new paradigms can spell the
difference between stagnation and
success in this dynamic landscape.
An Integrated Intelligence of Energy
On similar lines, Abhinav’s precious
advice to aspiring entrepreneurs
entering his realm is clear: ‘Immerse
yourself in knowledge and become a
true master of your chosen domain.
Dedicate yourself to mastering your
craft, for its mastery paves the path to
success. In your journey, remember
that true success follows the ones who
have mastered their domain.’
According to Abhinav, there are major
traits every inspirational entrepreneur
must possess. “I resonate with the
advice of Warren Buffet that integrity
is the most important trait in a leader.”
Warren Buffett emphasizes the pivotal
role of integrity in leadership: “In
looking for people to hire, you look for
three qualities: integrity, intelligence,
and energy. And if they don’t have the
first, the other two will kill you.”
Buffett underscores that integrity is the
bedrock upon which a leader's qualities
and capabilities rest, highlighting its
non-negotiable significance in building
trust, making sound decisions, and
fostering enduring relationships.
Harnessing the Legacy of Trust
On envisioning scaling brand
Accurex’s operations and offerings in
the future, Abhinav divulges that with
a steadfast dedication to Mr. Anil
Thakur's vision, Accurex is poised to
lead progress and innovation, securing
a prominent role in the Asia-Pacific
region. “Our roadmap involves
harnessing the legacy of trust and
quality we've nurtured over 38 years to
expand our operations and offerings,”
he says, adding, “We are expanding.”
Starting its journey nearly four decades
ago, Accurex is one of the pioneers and
one of the Top three manufacturers in
the IVD industry. It now has its
footprint in the expansion as Accurex
UK Ltd. Abhinav shares, “We’ve been
striving hard for the YOY success of
Accurex Biomedical since the year it
got established.”
Expanding in the UK has been a
remarkable journey in the western part
of the world, which is considered the
most reliable place for the big known
manufacturers & now Accurex is also a
part of the same.
To Transform the Tomorrow
Exports are a major focus for an
Indian-based IVD company like
Accurex Biomedical. Soon establishing
its footprints worldwide with the
addition of Accurex UK Ltd, the
company is maintaining integrity and
quality. “Our values at Accurex
Biomedical are always committed to
being one of the best in the IVD
industry,” says Abhinav.
Accurex UK Ltd. will also be consid-
ered one of the pioneers in the export
business to enter Western cultured
countries. “We Accurexians strive hard
for the commitment of quality products
to the end users across the world with
our Vision and Mission – Testing life
and saving lives,”
concludes Abhinav.
