Leicester entrepreneur becomes honorary professor

Available for over a year

The global entrepreneur and philanthropist Dr Nik Kotecha started his pharmaceuticals business from his home garage in Leicester in the 1990s and turned it into a multi-million-pound global company. As a child he was forced to flee his home with his family fifty years ago from Uganda following the expulsion of Ugandan Asians. Now he is being recognised and being made an honorary professor at De Montfort University. As Founder and former Chair of Morningside Pharmaceuticals, Dr Kotecha says he is driven to help those most in need.
