About us

A specialised clinical research support partner

We’re a specialized clinical research support services company dedicated to helping CROs, SMOs, and pharmaceutical sponsors accelerate trial execution, maintain regulatory compliance, and achieve operational excellence across India.

Built by Industry Veterans, For Industry Professionals

Prequel Scientific Services was founded by seasoned clinical research professionals who understood a critical challenge: CROs, SMOs, and pharmaceutical sponsors needed specialized expertise to navigate India’s complex regulatory environment and execute trials efficiently.

We saw organizations struggling with:

  • Lengthy hiring cycles that delayed trial timelines
  • Difficulty finding therapeutic area specialists
  • Resource gaps during critical project phases
  • High overhead costs of maintaining full-time teams
  • Challenges navigating DCGI processes and ethics committees

Our solution was simple but powerful: become the specialized support partner that organizations could rely on—offering expert teams who integrate seamlessly, deploy rapidly, and deliver quality consistently.

Today we support clinical research organisations across India, providing the specialised services that help them execute trials efficiently and to standard.

Our Purpose

To accelerate clinical research in India by providing specialized support services that enable organizations to execute trials with excellence.

Our Vision

To become a clinical research support partner our clients return to, on the strength of quality, responsiveness and expertise.

Our Promise

Seamless integration, rapid deployment, and unwavering commitment to quality in every deliverable.

What we stand for

Our Core Values

The principles that guide every partnership, every project, and every deliverable.

Quality Without Compromise

Every deliverable undergoes rigorous quality review. We maintain ICH-GCP standards and documented processes to ensure inspection readiness for our partners.

Speed & Agility

We understand trial timelines are critical. Because teams are pre-trained and deployed to an agreed schedule, resourcing is less likely to become the thing that holds a study up.

Partnership Mindset

We’re not vendors—we’re partners. Our success is measured by your success, and we integrate seamlessly as an extension of your team.

Transparency & Communication

Real-time updates, open communication, and complete visibility into our work. You’ll always know exactly where things stand.

Continuous Learning

Clinical research evolves constantly. We invest in ongoing training, regulatory updates, and skill development to stay ahead of industry changes.

Excellence in Execution

Good enough isn’t good enough. We strive for excellence in every document, every submission, every data point, and every interaction.
