About Sakshi
Sakshi Prabhu Dessai is a Life Sciences professional who has worked at Syngene International and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, and most recently as a Grants and Funding Consultant at melyn. I bring an MSc in Organic Chemistry and an MBA from Lancaster University Management School to my consulting work. I have led a healthcare improvement project at Good Hope Hospital in the NHS, using structured root cause analysis and Kotter’s Change Model to develop recommendations that were presented to senior hospital leadership. In my role at Annapurna Caterers I cut costs by 10‑12% through tighter financial controls and supplier consolidation. I apply strategy and change frameworks to public‑sector clients, advising on funding opportunities and UK and European healthcare policy. I regularly use AI tools for research, analysis and documentation, and I am keen to deepen my view of the US Life Sciences market. I speak English, Hindi and Marathi and live in Bengaluru, India.
