Murthy Chavali

Founder and CEO

Prior to starting Satya, CSN was CEO of Aurigene between 2005-19. During this period, Aurigene was turned around into a profitable company, and led through transformational changes to become a highly valued discovery and clinical development organization, with a pipeline of own assets and multiple partnered programs. These include small-molecule Immuno-oncology assets targeting PD-L1 and CD47, kinase inhibitor programs including FGFR, IRAK4, CDK7 and an anti-inflammatory program, targeting RoRgt. A pre-clinical pipeline of other assets including protein degraders has been developed during this time.

Previously, CSN was COO of Gland Pharma Limited. Gland Pharma received the first FDA approval for an injectable facility in India.

CSN started his career with ICICI Ventures, India’s first VC fund. CSN also started and led a boutique Investment Bank focused on the Life Sciences industry. He is a Chemical Engineer from IIT Madras, and an MBA from IIM, Bangalore

He is an independent Director on the boards of Gland Pharma Limited (NSE: GLAND), Balaji Amines Limited (NSE: BALAMINES) and Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Limited.
