Poonawalla told The Financial Times that his company has been maligned by politicians and critics over shortage of vaccines and that the government, not his company, was responsible for policy decision. He said: I’ve been victimised very unfairly and wrongly.

Poonawalla added that the authorities did not expect that there will be second wave in India after cases started declining. He said: ?Everybody really felt that India had started to turn the tide on the pandemic. Poonawalla said that his company did not boost the vaccine production capacity as there were no orders and that the company did not think it needed more than 1 billion (100 crore) doses in a year.

Poonawallas Serum Institute has developed the vaccine Covishield along with Astra Zeneca and Oxford University.
