Nitin Khanna didn’t just launch a company—he introduced a new way of thinking. As chief executive officer of Archer Insights, he is reshaping how life sciences organizations translate data into action. Focused on accelerating access to therapies through smarter analytics, Khanna built a firm that turns real-world evidence into strategic clarity. Proprietary frameworks like the “Stairway to Commercialization” have positioned Archer Insights as a trusted partner for top biotech and pharma innovators. His influence earned him distinction as a 2025 Titan 100 Honoree.
In just three years, Archer Insights expanded its client base, scaled its internal team and tripled operational capacity. Yet Khanna doesn’t define success through numbers alone. What matters is reducing the time it takes for groundbreaking therapies to reach patients. Every data model deployed and every insight generated contributes to that deeper mission.
His entrepreneurial journey emerged from a diverse background in biotechnology and tech. Along the way, he saw a recurring problem—valuable data that never translated into effective action. That gap became his focus. By founding Archer Insights, Khanna committed to bridging analytics with real-world execution, helping life sciences leaders make confident decisions at critical moments.
Preparing for the future, he’s building a workforce fluent in both technical rigor and collaborative thinking. Training goes beyond data science—it includes ethics, adaptability and real-time problem-solving. His team is empowered to challenge norms and push boundaries while staying anchored in purpose.
That purpose fuels his passion. Khanna finds energy in outcomes: when a drug progresses faster, when a client gains clarity, when a process becomes more human-centric. He celebrates these moments with his team and creates an environment where momentum is cultivated intentionally.
If he could instantly master one skill, it would be marketing and communication. For Khanna, even the most powerful innovations are limited without connection. Whether explaining Archer Insights’ IP to biotech executives or aligning teams internally, the ability to tell a compelling story would amplify everything. He sees marketing not as fluff, but as fuel—transforming features into benefits, hesitation into action and a growing brand into an industry benchmark.
He’s particularly drawn to how strong messaging can reinforce trust, attract top talent and build partnerships across the life sciences ecosystem. Mastering that skill, he believes, would supercharge Archer Insights’ ability to serve clients and accelerate the broader impact of its work.
Khanna’s accomplishments include significant revenue growth, expanded services and a growing thought leadership presence. But his greatest pride lies in the culture he’s built—a team that moves with urgency, leads with empathy and solves problems that matter.
Over the next five years, he envisions Archer Insights as the premier decision-intelligence partner across biotech, medtech and emerging health tech. His goal isn’t to be the loudest in the room, but the most trusted.
Khanna leads with clarity and precision, pairing analytical depth with genuine care. Through that lens, he’s transforming the way life sciences companies think, act and deliver—and in the process, elevating the entire industry.
