I came to Sai Life Sciences from global telecom firm with a finance background to help with business development. It has been a remarkable experience working with all our great partners and being a small part of their success stories. In the 14 years I have been with Sai, it has been great to witness our transformation from a 30 member chemistry services provider to an integrated discovery, development and commercial service provider with over 2,000 employees.
At Sai, we truly focus on our partner’s success. Our fundamental belief is that we can add true investor value by building long terms customer relationships, as opposed looking at profitability at a transactional level. This ensures that we take a long term view of the business over a 10 year horizon, enabling us to make larger investments in the business and offering customers the framework to have a truly collaborative relationship. We are committed to our motto of “Making things better together”.
The rate of innovation is going to accelerate. The real game changer will be the ability of companies to be flexible and aggressive in adopting new technologies and getting products to market faster.
Talent is always a fundamental driver of company’s success. Our challenge will always be to attract and groom the best talent, while creating a supporting environment for them to truly excel.
Discovery Technologies: Placing the right bets on what technologies you want to adopt. Every move involves substantial investment and takes times to implement. This really presents some high risk reward choices companies will have to make.Information Technology: We are in a major transition phase where IT technology will be integral part of how we innovate and how we analyze data. Every company needs to develop the core IT architecture in their organizations now, if they want to stay relevant. Regulatory framework: The regulations are getting much more stringent. How do you stay fast and still ensure minimum regulatory risk.
It is now more critical than ever to stay current and really understand trends in the industry. DDIP is a great place for us to network and keep us at the front end of innovation trends.
