After dinner speaker: Sunil Shah – Biotech Entrepreneur

Sunil studied biochemistry and management sciences at Keele and in 1998 followed it up with a MBA at the Judge. He started his career with PA Consulting but quickly moved into more entrepreneurial territory.

His first venture – as founder of Gosurprise Ltd – launched 4 internet brands including surpriseyourwoman.com. He successfully raised private and institutional money with investors including Channel 5 and is still a non-executive director.

In 2003 he launched the highly successful O2h which emerged from the Science Park in Cambridge and developed a talented team of scientists to provide a world class discovery service from its state-of-the-art research centre in India. The O2h delivery model has a proven track record of providing a step change in the effectiveness of drug discovery for a range of global pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies operating at the forefront of early stage discovery programs.

O2h has just become a part of the Piramal Group. Business Weekly recently featured Sunil and described the acquisition as ‘a fabulous endorsement’ for O2h. Piramal – headquartered in Mumbai and quoted on the Indian Stock Exchange – has multi-billion dollar turnover and is a global top 10 Contract Research Organisation.
