Journeying to the Top
The idea of Accutest Research
Laboratories was on the mind of Dr.
Sawant since he completed his Ph. D in
Pharmaceutical Sciences. After serving
Indian pharma industry for about 15
years in the areas of drug research
related to pharma testing using various
modern chromatographic techniques,
Dr Sawant set on a path to turn his
long cherished dream into reality. In
1998, Accutest entered the industry as
a small startup. Initially taking up
small projects, the company gradually
consolidated its position in the CRO
industry.
When Accutest had started making its
mark, there were not many USFDA
accredited laboratories available to
outsource clinical research
requirements for pharma organisations.
Pharma market was opening up and
Indian Pharma Industry was gearing up
to launch their products in developed
countries like US and Europe. Thus, in
2004, the company got the approval
from USFDA. After this initial step,
there was no looking back whether it
was to add new facilities, increase
capacities or subsequent audits and
approvals from prominent regulatory
bodies across the world.
Under steady leadership of Dr Sawant,
Accutest kept on innovating itself by
adding range of diverse services.
Accutest and its leadership have
consistently been recognized for its
success and constant good work with
prestigious awards and accolades
throughout its journey of 21 years so
far.
