The Indian Contract Research Organization (CRO) market has been pivotal in the global pharma supply chain, offering comprehensive services from drug discovery to manufacturing. The sector thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased drug discovery activities. However, the current geopolitical tensions and economic slowdowns in major markets like the US and EU are challenging smaller firms and prompting larger ones to cut costs.
Also, the companies are facing challenges in identifying the right clinical research candidates, managing time-to-market, and dealing with rising drug development costs and IP theft. Ocimum Life Sciences is a premier Contract Research Organization (CRO) and Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) provider specializing in drug development and advanced chemical synthesis. The firm addresses the above listed issues with an unmatched technical expertise, rapid scale-up times, a streamlined supply chain, and cost-effective solutions that adapt to the client's evolving needs.
