Highlights from Q2 2020:
Mr. Sekar continued, “What we have built in 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, allows us to accelerate our growth moving forward. We believe the expansion into traditional healthcare verticals is both accretive and prudent given the future role this company can play in the real-world evidence space. It also provides a huge opportunity to further grow and capitalize on one of the largest and underserviced segments of healthcare spending in the US. Our focus in 2020 and 2021 will be on growth from same services, growth from new services (SHG), and growth through accretive acquisitions.”
