Journey Ahead

Ardent Clinical Research Services aims to establish itself as one of the premier Contract Research Organizations (CROs) in India, renowned for providing top-notch services to its clients while expanding its reach to a global market. The company’s goal is to become a global CRO in the coming years by maintaining its high standards of service quality and efficient project management.

“As a company, we are operating in a rapidly growing industry with a promising future both domestically and globally. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the clinical research industry has shown remarkable resilience and growth, outpacing its pre-pandemic trajectory. As such, we believe that our company is well-positioned to capitalize on the potential opportunities within this thriving industry, which has emerged as a prime sector globally,” he states.

Ardent Clinical Research Services is currently focusing on internal improvements to facilitate its global expansion plans. The company is working on enhancing its systems, operations, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), team management, work management, timelines, and execution to prepare for entering the global market in 2023. The aim is to establish offices in the USA and Europe to expand their reach.

Chandu Gangadhar Devanpally concludes, “I believe that it is important to prioritize work, dedication, and implementation over money. While money is undoubtedly necessary, focusing on delivering high-quality work and consistently demonstrating dedication to one’s craft will eventually lead to financial success. With hard work and commitment, there will be no shortage of opportunities to earn money.”
