Sai Life Sciences, a leading global Contract Research, Development and
Manufacturing Organisation [https://www.sailife.com/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=sai-nxt-midterm-report](CRO-CDMO),
today presented a midterm report on its organizational transformative
initiative, Sai Nxt. Envisaged as a 4-year program from 2019 to 2023 with an
investment target of US$150M, Sai Nxt [https://www.sailife.com/sai-nxt/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=sai-nxt-midterm-report]
has enabled a transformation in the company’s capabilities across three core
areas: (1) People & culture (2) Processes & automation (3) Infrastructure &

the halfway mark of Sai Nxt, we have completed two-thirds of our committed
investment. More importantly, it has augmented our ability to serve the needs
of global pharma and biotech innovators with speed, compliance and

En route to excellence: Highlights from the journey so far
Guided by the insights and feedback from its innovator customers, Sai Life
Sciences has expanded its R&D and manufacturing facilities [https://www.sailife.com/pharmaceutical-cro-cdmo-about-sai-life-sciences/facilities/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=sai-nxt-midterm-report],
deepened scientific & technological capabilities [https://www.sailife.com/services/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=sai-nxt-midterm-report],
strengthened automation and data systems, and raised the bar for safety, quality and customer focus.
1. Growth in scientific depth and scale: The company’s expansion into
Boston and Manchester has enabled it to access some of the finest
pharmaceutical talent globally and strengthened its ability to solve complex
scientific challenges. The simultaneous growth in its India team has brought in
niche capabilities and NCE experience.
2. Expansion in technology platforms and capabilities: The company has
augmented its capabilities across various technologies including high-content
screening (HCS), PROTACS, particle sciences & engineering, highly potent APIs,
scale-up of flow processes, amidites, peptides, and more.
3. Fully integrated discovery and development campus, built for speed: The
company has consolidated all its India R&D capabilities into a 13-acre
integrated campus in Hyderabad with 1200+ scientists. The campus houses
integrated discovery (chemistry, biology and DMPK/ tox), early & late phase
development, comprehensive analytical capabilities, process safety, technology
platforms, early phase supplies, and technology transfer. The co-location of
cross-functional teams on the same site, combined with streamlined processes
and automation, helps faster resolution of technical issues and improves speed.
4. Global delivery model for biology and process chemistry: To provide its
customers an optimal solution in terms of talent, speed, and cost efficiency,
the company has created specialized global R&D teams in Boston (Biology) and
Manchester (Process Development) with proven ability to solve complex
scientific challenges. Complementing the strong track record of handling
complex projects by the India team, this allows customers the choice to begin
their project in Boston or Manchester, following which projects are seamlessly
tech transferred to Hyderabad for greater throughput or scale-up, as needed.
This model is enabled by unified global teams supported by matching
infrastructure and processes across all sites.
5. New state-of the-art manufacturing facilities: The company has added 172
KL API & intermediate manufacturing capacity, 4 Clean rooms, at its Bidar
manufacturing campus. It is on course to adding highly potent API and amidites
capabilities by end-2021, additional 200 KL manufacturing capacity and a
dedicated facility for companion animal health products by end-2022. With this
expansion, 80% of the installed capacity will be under 5 years old, and 60%
under 3 years old. All new production facilities have state-of-the-art
automation, data systems and safety features housed in ergonomically designed
multi-purpose production blocks.
6. Global customer outreach: The company has expanded its business
development footprint [https://www.sailife.com/pharmaceutical-cro-cdmo-about-sai-life-sciences/contact/?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=sai-nxt-midterm-report]
to 15 cities around the world with the aim of elevating its customer-service
levels and having representation closer to customers.
