Indian MedTech Professional Hari Prasad Launches Career Guide for Biomedical Engineering Students

Hyderabad, Telangana Apr 29, 2026 (EMWNews.com) – Hari Prasad, an Indian medical technology (MedTech) professional, has announced the launch of his book Second Career Opinion: An Indian MedTech Career Guide They Won’t Tell You, a career-focused guide for biomedical engineering students and early-career professionals in India.

The book addresses a commonly observed gap between academic education and industry expectations in the medical technology sector. While biomedical engineering programs continue to expand across India, many graduates face challenges in understanding industry roles, hiring expectations, and long-term career pathways.

Second Career Opinion presents a structured framework designed to help bridge this gap. It covers key areas including career preparation, role exploration, job search strategies, networking, interview preparation, and offer evaluation within the MedTech industry.

The content is based on practical industry experience across functions such as sales, clinical applications, service engineering, and marketing. It focuses on providing a clear understanding of how the industry operates, particularly within the Indian context.

Industry observations indicate that one of the major challenges faced by graduates is the lack of clarity around roles such as clinical application specialist, service engineer, and sales professional. The book addresses these areas by outlining expectations, responsibilities, and skill requirements associated with these roles.

Another aspect highlighted is how career opportunities are accessed. In many cases, roles within the MedTech industry are filled through networking, referrals, and direct engagement, rather than through traditional application processes alone. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics early in one’s career.

The framework presented in the book is structured around stages of career development, helping readers make more informed decisions at critical points such as job selection, interview performance, and offer evaluation.

Rather than relying on general career advice, the book focuses on practical, experience-based insights specific to the Indian MedTech ecosystem.

Second Career Opinion is available through online platforms and is intended as a resource for biomedical engineering students seeking clarity in entering the MedTech industry, as well as for early professionals looking to navigate their career direction more effectively.
