OUR NAME

Suvoda means “the dawn of well-being”

Suvoda was built on a shared promise: to ease the experience of those running and participating in clinical trials, while providing greater insights to help sponsors, CROs, sites, and patients make more informed decisions. Our name, derived from Sanskrit, reflects this commitment to improving every step of the trial journey.

Sanskrit nods to our founder and CEO’s heritage—it is the ancient root of Sinhalese, his native language. Our name represents both the depth of our mission and the global perspective that continues to guide us.

We see every moment, in every trial, as a milestone. Here are a few of ours:
