The Indian CRO sector is fast-paced. Over time, India has amassed the skill and understanding to compete with any global CRO. It is the CRO's obligation to maintain high standards of scientific qualities and project schedules on behalf of the customer. However, one of the key issues that customers confront is good project management and sticking to deadlines. Another important issue that clients experience is scientific report authoring, which results in report rejection by regulators and has an impact on the registration or approval procedure. Customers also want the CRO to assume total responsibility for the project and deliver the data on schedule with high-quality scientific report authoring.

ERF has amassed a substantial clientele with whom it has been working successfully in a relatively short period of time.
