Hyderabad-based Sai Life Sciences, one of India’s leading integrated contract research, development and manufacturing organizations (CRDMOs), has announced plans to hire 700+ scientific, technical, and management professionals during 2026–27 as it scales capabilities to meet growing global demand for end-to-end drug discovery, development and manufacturing services.
The recruitment will span roles across medicinal chemistry, biology, DMPK, process and analytical development, formulation development, process engineering, technology transfer, quality, peptides, business development, program management, and manufacturing, among others.
A specific area of focus through this recruitment drive will be on attracting high-calibre scientists from leading institutions in India and globally, reflecting the increasing complexity of programs being entrusted to Sai Life Sciences and the higher scientific expectations placed on Indian CRDMOs by global innovator companies.
The new roles will support growing activity in areas such as complex small-molecule synthesis, high-throughput experimentation, data-enabled drug discovery, and late-stage CMC and commercial manufacturing scale-up.
As part of its talent strategy, Sai Life Sciences has launched a global alumni engagement platform and is strengthening learning, leadership development, and internal mobility programs to support long-term career growth.
