The Indian clinical trials market size was valued at $1.93 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate(CAGR) of 8.2 percent from 2022 to 2030. The globalization of clinical trials, adoption of new technology in clinical research, growing disease variation and prevalence, and increasing research and development promoting outsourcing are the key factors estimated to drive the market. Clinical Research (CR) is purely part of pharmaceutical companies which involves in the ‘testing and observation of new interventions (medications, medical devices, diagnostic & surgical procedures & treatments) in the human beings for its safety, efficacy & effectiveness in order save & increase the patient’s life’ but in the academics of Pharmacy, there was no subject, especially for clinical research.

Pharmacy students used to learn about drug synthesis, analysis and formulation, and animal studies, but none of the syllabus covers clinical research(Human testing) and its associated departments which are mandatory for drug approvals and commercialization. Thus, it is a necessity for every pharmacy graduate to know about clinical research because being the most suitable candidate for the Clinical Research profession, one will have the best career scope and growth with a handful of salaries. Also, graduates can just work in front of the system and get good packages based on their skills there is no need to work in the by standing hours.

However, entering this field as a pharmacy fresher is difficult because many don’t have basic knowledge & skills about CR. Keeping in mind all these factors and the benefits the clinical research profession can offer to the pharmacy graduates in terms of their career growth, Naresh G (Founder & CEO) incepted Cliniwings in 2022 in Hyderabad. As an ISO 9001:2015 & MSME Certified Clinical Research Training Institute managed by ex-NIPERians & Industrial Clinical Pharma Experts, this institute has created a niche for itself in the industry due to its excellent teaching methodologies, experienced faculty members, and top-notch placement assistance that it offers to the students within a short period of time.

We provide an online & offline certification course on concept & interview-oriented skills development, which helps the pharmacy freshers to get the job easily in a reputed organization & to grow quickly in the organization”, says Naresh.

Over the last one year alone, more than 200 students from the institute have been placed among the top CROs.

Additionally, Cliniwings also maintains close contact with HRs of top companies in the industry who notify the institute whenever there are job openings within their organizations. The resumes/CVs of every student who scores at least 4/5 & 5/5 rating in these mock interviews are referred to those esteemed organizations.

This has been a key enabler for the students to get placed in many reputed pharma and clinical research organizations.

Owing to such fine practices and a student-centric approach, Cliniwings has achieved significant growth since its inception.
