“We realised that the life sciences industry had a significant amount of tech debt and a lot of archaic systems, a lot of federated and fragmented technologies. We immediately found an opportunity to take that fragmentation and consolidate it into a SaaS platform-based approach,” cofounder and CEO Raghav Parvataraju said.

“We hire domain experts along with tech talent, and our AI expertise is in-house. The team includes customer success, customer care and data engineering roles,” he said.

Nithin Kaimal, Partner and COO at Bessemer Venture Partners India, said in a statement, “We are excited to partner with Graph AI as they transform labor-intensive pharmacovigilance workflows through AI-native solutions that prioritize accuracy and scalability. This shift from labor arbitrage to intelligence arbitrage represents a new era where faster, smarter, and more adaptive solutions are becoming the norm.”

About Graph AI

Founded in 2024 by Parvataraju, Vijay Ponukumati (CTO), Mohan Konyala (CPO), and Ashutosh Bordekar (CFO), California-based Graph AI aims to transform pharmacovigilance — the ongoing monitoring and reporting of adverse drug events across a drug’s lifecycle.

Pharmaceutical companies have long depended on large service providers using manual, fragmented workflows that are slow and error-prone.

Graph AI tackles these issues with an AI-powered automation platform that streamlines processes, minimizes manual work, and ensures faster, more accurate regulatory compliance.

The startup serves four key customer segments — pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, cosmetic brands, and clinical research organizations or BPOs, according to Parvataraju.

Its largest market is the US, followed by Europe, which drives much of the global regulatory framework, and then the Asia-Pacific region, including India, Japan, and China.

Headquartered in California, Graph AI has a team of 18 employees. The founding team is based in Silicon Valley, while engineering operations are primarily in Hyderabad, India, with additional team members in Bogotá, Colombia.
