Pranav Mehta — Co-Founder
In February 2025, after 25 years in pharmaceutical commercial roles, I stepped away from the job market. Not to retire. To solve problems I had watched repeat across the pharma industry throughout my career. I spent 2-3 months identifying where I could add the most value. AI kept rising to the top—but not the AI hype you see everywhere. Practical AI that solves real commercial challenges. So I spent the next 5 months doing something unusual for a 25-year industry veteran: I went back to school. I upskilled myself in AI technology, studied its applications in pharma sales, marketing, and strategy, and established partnerships with specialized AI/ML teams for implementation. In October 2025, I launched Impactplus to solve a specific problem: Pharma companies need AI solutions built by people who understand pharma reality—not just AI theory. MY BACKGROUND 25 Years in Pharma Commercial Operations: a. Sales force leadership across therapies b. Marketing and brand management c. Portfolio strategy d. First-to-market brand launches e. M&A due diligence and post-merger integration f. Field operations—understanding what works beyond boardroom strategy AI Preparation (March-Oct 2025): a. Intensive study of AI applications in pharma commercial operations b. Deep dive into what AI can genuinely solve vs. what's marketing hype c. Building partnerships with AI/ML specialists who have enterprise implementation experience d. Learning to translate between pharma problems and technical solutions The Rare Combination: Most pharma consultants understand the industry but not AI capabilities. Most AI companies understand technology but not pharma reality. I spent 7 months deliberately closing that gap—not to become a software engineer, but to speak both languages fluently enough to build solutions that actually work in pharma. If you're curious about practical AI for pharma—honest exploration of what's possible, not marketing promises—let's talk.
