Pharma job seekers in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have a big date to circle this week. Hetero Labs is holding a mega walk-in drive on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, for its Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) division, with openings across production, quality, engineering and safety roles at its Hyderabad and Vizag facilities. A second walk-in for the Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) division follows on Sunday, 15 November, at Jadcherla, and B.Pharmacy freshers get a direct shot there too.
The timing matters. Walk-in drives from a company of Hetero’s size do not come around every week, and the company has said immediate joiners will be preferred. For experienced pharma professionals who have been waiting for the right opening, and for fresh pharmacy graduates looking for a first break, this is one of the more practical opportunities to come up this month.
What is on offer at the 11 November walk-in
The first drive covers Hetero’s API division, which makes the active ingredients that go into medicines. Openings are spread across six functions:
- Production: shop-floor roles in API manufacturing at Hyderabad and Nakkapalli, Vizag
- Quality Control (QC): testing and analysis roles in the API plants
- Quality Assurance (QA): documentation, compliance and systems roles
- Engineering Services: plant maintenance and utilities support
- EHS: environment, health and safety roles
- TSD: technical services department roles supporting manufacturing
Experience requirements vary by role, ranging from around 2 years to 20 years, so the drive covers everyone from early-career professionals to senior hands. The company is hiring for its Hyderabad and Nakkapalli (Vizag) locations in this round.
Walk-in details: date, time and venue
Candidates should reach the venue early, as walk-ins are handled on a first-come basis and the company has flagged that immediate joiners will be preferred.
- Date: Wednesday, 11 November 2026
- Time: from 9:00 AM
- Venue: Hetero Labs Ltd, 7-2-A2, Sanath Nagar Industrial Estate, Sanath Nagar, Hyderabad, Telangana 500018
- Division: API, Hyderabad and Nakkapalli (Vizag) locations
Carry an updated resume, copies of your educational certificates, experience letters if any, and a government photo ID. Candidates who cannot attend in person can send their resume to the company’s recruitment contact, Anil.L@hetero.com.
Second drive on 15 November for OSD roles
Hetero is also running a second walk-in for its Oral Solid Dosage division on Sunday, 15 November 2026, at its Polepally facility in Jadcherla. This round is aimed at the OSD manufacturing operations, and it carries a specific opening for freshers: B.Pharmacy graduates can apply directly for entry-level roles in the Production and Packing departments.
That matters because most pharma walk-ins ask for experience. A dedicated fresher window at a large manufacturer is worth noting for pharmacy graduates from the 2025 and 2026 batches who are still looking for their first job.
Who should apply
The 11 November drive is built mainly for experienced professionals in API manufacturing, with roles across production, quality, engineering, safety and technical services. If you already work in a pharma plant, or have done so earlier and are looking to move, this is the round to attend. The 15 November drive is the one for fresh B.Pharmacy graduates, focused on OSD production and packing at Jadcherla.
Hetero Labs is one of India’s large pharmaceutical manufacturers, and the company describes itself as a certified Great Place to Work. For candidates weighing a move, the scale of the hiring, across two divisions and three locations, suggests active expansion rather than routine replacement hiring.
How to prepare for the walk-in
A walk-in is not a casual visit. A few simple steps can make the difference between a short chat and a serious conversation:
- Reach the venue well before the rush builds up in the morning.
- Carry multiple printed copies of your resume, along with originals and photocopies of certificates.
- Be ready to talk through your current role, the products or processes you have handled, and your notice period.
- Freshers attending the 15 November drive should carry their B.Pharmacy mark sheets and certificates.
- Confirm the venue and timing on the day before you travel, as walk-in schedules can change.
With the first drive tomorrow and the second on Sunday, candidates in Hyderabad, Vizag and Jadcherla have two clear chances this week. Those who cannot make it in person should use the email route rather than waiting for the next drive.
