Founder Speaks -
"The company aims to surpass $5 million in operating revenue by March 2027 (FY27) while strengthening its position within the pharmaceutical and life sciences ecosystem. A key focus area will be deepening enterprise penetration among the top 500 pharmaceutical companies in India, alongside expanding its presence in developed markets such as the United States and Western Europe. The company is also working on launching two new AI-powered products tailored for pharmaceutical sales and marketing teams. Building on existing customer demand, it plans to scale operations across Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia) and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and UAE). To support global growth, the company will significantly expand its active healthcare professional (HCP) and channel network across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France, while also strengthening its reach in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets in India. Additionally, the platform will evolve beyond commercial operations by extending into adjacent life sciences functions, including medical affairs and distribution, enabling a broader and more integrated offering for the industry".
