What Founders Say
“Behind every patient is a fragmented, incomplete record of their life. I watched this up close: first through my grandfather’s cancer journey and then professionally in pharma, where we were developing therapies without ever seeing the full picture.”
— Shashi Shankar, CEO, June 2, 2026 2
“Novellia changes the course for this whole industry by putting the patient at the center.”
