Meena Krishnan, President and CEO
“We use innovative technologies to analyze and solve pressing Public Health problems. We analyze Big Data and extract intelligent information from chaotic data across commercial and government industries,” begins Meena. “Analytics is of no use if proper application strategies are not used, so with great analytics we offer practical techniques to apply them in alignment with customer vision, thereby saving them precious resources,” adds Meena.
Inoventures has two separate units which go hand-in-hand: Public Health and hi-tech solutions centers. Through its subsidiary SciMetrika, the firm provides impactful public health analyses and through its hi-tech center, assists in converting such analyses into meaningful insights.
As an example, HIV is a critical issue in the USA that causes significant health, social and economic problems.

The firm is currently developing sophisticated analyses on Ebola Outbreak in Africa and Malaria outbreak in India to give a few examples.
