What We Offer

Ishan Bhatia

Consultant
Research Triangle Park, NC

Originally from Philadelphia, I call Raleigh home now. When I get done with work for the day, I’m usually watching TV while I walk on the treadmill (and call it a “workout”) or I’m catching up with friends. On weekends, I like exploring nearby coffee shops, hiking, or going rock climbing. Traveling is one of my greatest passions, and I take every opportunity to explore—whether it’s reconnecting with friends outside of North Carolina or traveling abroad. While I’m no expert in the kitchen, I enjoy trying new recipes when I have the chance, and I also love dining out with friends, usually trying a new restaurant.

WHY I CHOSE SCIVIDA

Initially pursuing a pre-med path as an undergraduate, I discovered a passion for bioengineering when I added it as a minor, a decision that completely changed my career trajectory. The opportunity to design a medical device as part of a capstone project my senior year sparked my fascination with turning healthcare solutions into reality, and after graduating, I worked briefly as a regulatory consultant, helping companies navigate FDA pathways to bring impactful medical devices to patients. My desire to deepen my understanding of the healthcare landscape and how organizations operate led me to pursue an MBA at UNC. While exploring my options in school, I realized there was still much I didn’t know and sought a career that would allow me to work across healthcare segments. Life sciences management consulting emerged as the perfect way to satisfy this curiosity. SciVida stood out to me during my search—not just for its StriVe program and recognition in the Vault rankings, but also for the culture I experienced during the interview process, which felt truly unique.

Since joining SciVida, I’ve experienced an extraordinary commitment to collaboration, professional development, and excellence. The team’s dedication to helping each other succeed and creating opportunities for growth has been unparalleled. Every project has taught me something new, allowed me to grow professionally, and given me the chance to work with incredibly talented colleagues. From day one, I’ve also had the opportunity to advocate for enhancements within the company and have received unwavering support from firm leadership. Feeling that my voice contributes to SciVida’s growth is something I didn’t fully appreciate until joining the firm. Knowing that every hour I contribute not only advances my career but also benefits the broader healthcare community is why I am so proud and fulfilled to be a part of this organization.
