Light Pharma is a consulting and technology company on a mission to help transform the way medicine is made. Our Focus is on life sciences and healthcare.

Overview

Light Pharma and its key personnel have played an active and pioneering role in helping prepare the pharmaceutical and biotech industry for the 21st Century. Research done by Dr. G. K. Raju and others as part of the MIT Program of the Pharmaceutical Industry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology provided key insights and justification for the launch of the FDA’s 21st Century Quality Initiative. Light Pharma has performed Quality Management Maturity assessments across industry and government organizations over the last two decades. Light Pharma has had its own operations assessed for quality maturity and is one of the earlier small organizations in the world to be assessed at the highest possible level of Maturity Level 5. It has again been assessed to be at this highest possible level of Maturity Level 5 multiple times including mostly recently in August 2024. Light Pharma believes in practicing what it preaches and seeks to be the change it wants to see in the world. We are transforming the way medicine is made (including ourselves)..

Light Pharma is about energy, transformation, and basic fundamentals


Light Pharma is about energy, transformation, and basic fundamentals.
The Greek word pyramid means "fire in the middle." It means House of Nature or House of Energy. One of the purposes of the Great Pyramid was to generate, transform, and transmit energy. In doing so, it gives us a unique chance to launch radical changes in our views on the nature of things and advance the frontier of thorough knowledge. Hence the Pyramid in the Light Pharma logo.

Since then, the company has provided light and energy to help transform the way medicine is being made at leading life sciences and healthcare organizations.

Light Pharma is about light. The noun "light" implies many things such as illumination, shining, brilliance, glow, brightness, beam, ray, shaft of light, shining star, daylight, sunshine, sunrise, enlightenment, awareness, insight, understanding, luminary, model, exemplar, example, guide and bring to light. The adjective "light" can mean unheavy, weightless, simple, easy, pleasing, nimble, supple, agile, cheerful, and optimistic.
