HYDERABAD, India, October 16, 2026 — Altimetrik, an AI engineering company, today opened its Healthcare & Life Sciences Center of Excellence (CoE) in Hyderabad to accelerate AI innovation for its clients. The Center’s first launch is PharmaOS, Altimetrik’s agentic AI platform for life sciences, built on Altimetrik’s ALTi AIOS™ framework, with more offerings to be built alongside clients across the industry. With PharmaOS, the Center promises to take clients from a defined concept to a validated, governed AI agent in one week, helping organisations move quickly from an initial idea to a working, validated use case.
The CoE brings together AI engineers and life sciences specialists to build agents that meet regulatory requirements, trace every output to trusted sources and keep people accountable for decisions. The Center is part of Altimetrik’s 22,000 sq ft office at Phoenix Equinox in Gachibowli, near HITEC City, which is home to more than 300+ Altimetrik employees. It will support work across drug development, manufacturing, patient engagement and care delivery.
“Raj SundaresanChief Executive Officer, AltimetrikEnterprises want AI that delivers meaningful outcomes, and in healthcare and life sciences, that means engineering solutions that are grounded in industry context, regulatory requirements and trusted data. PharmaOS is our first offering from the Healthcare & Life Sciences Center of Excellence, designed to help global customers build and scale governed AI agents across critical workflows. Hyderabad’s deep pharma expertise and technology talent make it the right home for this Center, bringing together the capabilities needed to deliver practical, industry-specific innovation.
In one week, a client moves from a defined concept to validated, governed agents, orchestrated to deliver a specific use case on its own data and workflow, with a measured view of the value created and a clear path to production.
That speed comes from PharmaOS, which starts with 35+ purpose-built agents across commercial operations, clinical and regulatory review, manufacturing, responsible AI and data modernisation. Each carries industry knowledge, regulatory requirements and evidence standards, so clients never begin from scratch. This enables clients to take a defined business or operational concept, configure and orchestrate the relevant agents, validate the output against trusted data and evidence, and assess the potential value of the use case within a week. Workflows it supports include HCP engagement planning, clinical study report review, batch-release readiness and GxP compliance checks.
PharmaOS runs on Altimetrik’s ALTi AIOS™ framework, which keeps the operating layer separate from the underlying model. Clients can use platforms such as Google Cloud Gemini Enterprise and OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise and switch models without re-engineering their agents.
“Ramji VasudevanHead of Healthcare & Life Sciences, AltimetrikAcross healthcare and life sciences, organisations must move faster without compromising patient safety or compliance. AI can transform that value chain, but only when it works within GxP and earns the trust of the teams who own the outcomes. PharmaOS is our first offering from the Center, giving clients a validated agent on their own data in a week, and the start of a broader portfolio we’ll co-create with clients across the industry.
PharmaOS is designed to help clients move from an initial concept to validation through a focused, collaborative engagement with the Center. Clients can engage with the Center in three ways:
Hyderabad is home to pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract research organisations and a deep pool of regulatory, clinical, quality and engineering talent. Locating the CoE here puts it close to the industry it serves and the specialists it needs. The CoE launch extends Altimetrik’s growth in India following its recent expansion in Pune, which took its global workforce past 11,000.
