Mr. Ashish has also undertaken challenging green initiatives, which is reflected throughout AMN Life’s Supply Chain. The issue of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment (what some call PIE) has garnered plenty of media attention, mostly negative in the past several years.

Under his leadership, AMN Life is able to ensure complete deactivation of waste residues by using alkaline solution before it is being sent to centralised insemination.
