Saama Founder and CEO, Suresh Katta was quoted in PharmaVOICE’s Special 2020 Year In Preview issue in a discussion on what might occur if Apple, Amazon, Google or another big technology company bought a pharma company.
“Though the life-sciences industry faces a number of issues, purchasing a pharmaceutical company by tech giants would not solve its current challenges,” Mr. Katta says. “However, there have been great examples of pure technology companies that have challenged different industry segments successfully to change the industry dynamics, including Tesla in the auto industry, Uber in the transportation industry, and Airbnb in the hospitality industry.”
