Vishal Salunke

I am a pharmaceutical Quality Control professional with over twelve years of hands-on experience in analytical testing, quality systems and cross-functional process optimization. I focus on strategic planning, execution and operational streamlining to improve product quality and compliance.

At Indoco and Alkem, I led LIMS and SAP S4 HANA implementations and integrations, drove IQ/OQ/PQ qualification activities, and implemented e-logbooks and reduced raw material testing for APIs and excipients. I routinely handled QMS processes including deviations, change control and OOS investigations using TrackWise.

I have extensive laboratory experience performing HPLC, GC, dissolution, physical testing (friability, hardness, disintegration), Karl Fischer and method validation/transfer activities. I also trained teams, chaired quality reviews and supported regulatory audits (USFDA, MHRA, TGA, WHO) to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.

I communicate effectively in English, Hindi, Konkani and Marathi, and leverage strong leadership, team-building and documentation skills to deliver reliable quality outcomes and support new product launches.
