About SIRO Clinpharm

SIRO Clinpharm is a drug development solutions provider that functions as a Contract Research Organization (CRO) for the global healthcare industry. The company was founded in 1996 as the SIRO Research Foundation, initially a subsidiary of Bharat Serums and Vaccines, and was formally incorporated as SIRO Clinpharm Private Limited in 2000. The founder, Dr. Gautam Daftary, a medical doctor by qualification, is a second-generation entrepreneur who identified an opportunity to create one of India's first CROs. His background in the healthcare domain, including founding other successful ventures like Bharat Serums and Vaccines Ltd. and Aksigen Hospital Care, provided a strong foundation for SIRO's focus on research and development.

The company offers a comprehensive suite of services supporting clinical trials from Phase II through Phase IV, as well as post-marketing and real-world evidence studies. Its business model revolves around providing end-to-end clinical development services to a diverse clientele that includes global biopharmaceutical firms, medical device companies, and academic institutions. To meet varied client needs, the SIRO Group has been structured into three specialized entities: SIRO Clintech for full-service CRO solutions, SIRO Medical Writing for specialized documentation, and SIRO Clinpharm for customized Functional Service Provider (FSP) solutions. This structure allows for flexible business models, including FTE-based and hybrid approaches, where SIRO can provide specialized personnel to augment a client's team or manage entire functions of a clinical trial.

Core services include clinical trial management, clinical data management, biostatistics and programming, medical writing, and pharmacovigilance. The company has developed expertise across several therapeutic areas, notably oncology, diabetes, cardiology, and infectious diseases. Over the years, SIRO has expanded its global footprint through strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of US-based Global Client Partners in 2007 and Germany-based Omega Mediation Group in 2008, to enhance its operational capabilities in Europe and the US. The firm has received multiple accolades, including the Frost & Sullivan 'Indian Clinical Research Organization of the Year' award and was named 'Best Clinical Research Company' at the Healthcare and Fitness Leadership Awards 2016.
