**Hiring Manager**
Sharda Cropchem Ltd
Mumbai
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my strong interest in the **Regulatory Affairs Executive** position at **Sharda Cropchem Ltd**. With a Master’s degree in Biotechnology and over two years of hands-on experience in biopharma R&D and quality control, I bring both scientific rigor and practical knowledge to support regulatory documentation and compliance for agrochemical products.
My experience at **IPCA Laboratories Ltd.** and **INTAS Biopharma** involved working on upstream process development, analytical documentation, and regulatory audit support. I have independently executed experiments on 2L and 5L bioreactors, handled technical data analysis, and contributed to process improvement in alignment with ICH guidelines. My recent stint at **CFC Pharma Cluster** further strengthened my capabilities in quality control, including the use of HPLC, UV spectroscopy, and polarimetry.
The role at Sharda Cropchem aligns with my passion for compliance and documentation. I am confident in my ability to:
– Assist in preparing and reviewing regulatory dossiers.
– Coordinate effectively with laboratories and international collaborators for toxicological and physicochemical studies.
– Ensure data integrity and technical compliance throughout the documentation cycle.
– Support multi-functional teams and contribute to timely regulatory submissions.
I am detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and enthusiastic about contributing to your mission of delivering quality agrochemical solutions globally. I would welcome the opportunity to grow with Sharda Cropchem and bring value to your regulatory affairs team.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background fits your team’s needs.
Warm regards,
**Sonam Raghav**
