About the company
Novartis
Novartis was created in 1996 when two Swiss companies, Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz, merged; the oldest of its predecessors, Geigy, was founded in Basel in 1758. Still headquartered in Basel, the group has narrowed its focus in recent years, spinning off Alcon in 2019 and Sandoz in October 2023, and now concentrates on innovative medicines in cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases, immunology, neuroscience and oncology. Its shares trade on the SIX Swiss Exchange, with ADRs on the NYSE. Novartis has been in India since 1947. Its Indian company is Novartis Healthcare Private Limited, and the Novartis Corporate Center in Hyderabad houses development, operations and finance teams that work for the group globally.
Novartis's finance roles in India are concentrated in Hyderabad, where teams handle business planning and analysis and digital finance for the group. Recent openings include a senior financial analyst in business planning and analysis and a manager in digital finance. Postings ask for a qualified Chartered Accountant or an MBA in Finance, one also accepts an MBA in Analytics or Systems, and at least two years of relevant finance experience is mentioned.
