About the Challenge

Accenture, a global leader in IT services launched this challenge to identify and collaborate with innovative technology startups. The focus areas included metaverse and web3, space tech, advanced computing, and science tech. In April 2023, we were honored to be approached by Accenture as part of their scouting efforts to identify groundbreaking solutions in these domains.

The rigorous selection process involved multiple stages. From a broad pool of startups, Accenture shortlisted the top 12 finalists who were invited to present to Accenture’s internal team, narrowing the field to the top three. A jury of esteemed industry leaders from across India then evaluated the final contenders, ultimately selecting Aganitha as the winner in the Science Tech vertical.

A Meaningful Milestone

We faced formidable competition from highly innovative companies, including an AI-driven enzyme manufacturing company and a seed platform company. The recognition reflects the dedication and expertise of our cross-functional team, whose efforts were highlighted in an impactful presentation by Vikram Duvoori and Prasad Chodavarapu, CEO and MD of Aganitha respectively.

This achievement marks a significant milestone for Aganitha, as it is the first time we have shared our vision and progress on such a broad platform. It reinforces our mission to accelerate the delivery of medicines to patients by harnessing the power of deep science and technology, in collaboration with global biopharma leaders.

Acknowledgments

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Accenture Ventures and the esteemed jury members for this incredible honor. We also express our deepest appreciation to the entire Aganitha team for their unwavering commitment and to our customers for their continued support and trust.

This recognition inspires us to continue pushing boundaries in science and technology to transform healthcare and meaningfully impact patients’ lives.
