Dr. Gedela mentioned that the project, situated within the IT/ITeS zone in Ameenpur, will leverage AI innovations to enhance various aspects of the pharmaceutical industry, from research and development to healthcare delivery. This initiative is expected to create a significant number of jobs for local residents.
“By integrating the most advanced artificial intelligence, we aim to streamline processes, enhance precision in drug development, and improve patient outcomes. This positions Telangana at the forefront of healthcare innovation in India", Gedela said.
