If you have good communication skills and attention to detail, pharmacovigilance can be a great fit.

If you enjoy luxury, then you can opt for PV officer role; it’s a flex job for recent Pharmacy pass outs. And it’s a potential gateway into the IT sector like TCS and Wipro, if that’s what you are aiming for.
