What We Noticed
Indian labs are stuck between two bad options
If you run a research lab or a pharma R&D facility in India today, procuring reagents, kits, and consumables usually means choosing between overpriced international brands that strain your budget, or unverified alternatives where you gamble with your data.
The person delivering your ELISA kit probably can't tell you what's in the certificate of analysis — or whether one even exists. Your procurement team processes dozens of vendors with no way to verify product quality upfront. And when something goes wrong, there's no one between you and an unresponsive overseas manufacturer.
The old way
Opaque pricing. Generic sales reps who can't discuss your application. No clarity on product quality until you've spent your grant money. Long lead times with no visibility.
Our approach
Transparent pricing on validated products. A supplier with pharmaceutical QC experience who understands documentation standards. Complete COA, MSDS, and validation data with every order. Direct access to manufacturer technical teams for application questions.
What We Do
Globally validated products, locally accessible
Sri Saradi Scientific is the exclusive Indian distributor for select international manufacturers of research reagents, ELISA kits, laboratory instruments, consumables, and filtration products. We source directly from our principals — no middlemen, no unnecessary markups.
Our product lines serve academic research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D labs, and diagnostic facilities across India. Every product we carry has been evaluated not just for price, but for analytical performance, lot-to-lot consistency, and documentation quality.
How We Work
Built on three commitments
🔬
Technical honesty
We'll tell you if a product fits your application — and we'll tell you if it doesn't. Your results matter more than our invoice.
📋
Full transparency
Published pricing. Complete documentation. No hidden costs. You see exactly what you're getting and what you're paying.
🤝
Quality-first mindset
We come from a pharmaceutical background and understand what proper documentation and quality systems look like. We apply that same scrutiny when selecting and evaluating our suppliers.
Founded By
Praveen Gadde
B.Pharm & M.Pharm, Manipal University · MBA, Lund University · Former Analytical R&D, Novartis
Before starting Sri Saradi Scientific, I worked in analytical R&D at Novartis — running HPLC methods, stability studies, and dissolution testing in a GMP environment. I've worked with analytical documentation first-hand and I understand what rigorous quality systems look like from the inside.
I'm not a life sciences researcher — and I won't pretend to be one. But I've spent enough time in regulated labs to know the difference between proper documentation and a rubber stamp. That perspective shapes how I evaluate the products and suppliers we work with.
I started this company because most lab suppliers in India are sales operations — they move boxes. I wanted to build something different: a supplier that cares about what's inside the box and whether the paperwork behind it is solid. When you need application-specific technical support, I connect you directly with our manufacturers' science teams — not a call centre.
Our Partnerships
Direct relationships, not middlemen
We don't resell through trading companies or brokers. We work directly with our manufacturers — visiting their facilities, understanding their quality processes, and signing formal distribution agreements in person. When we say "authorized distributor," we can show you exactly what that means.
