Avra Synthesis is part of the Avra group of companies started by Dr. A. V. Rama Rao an organic chemist of international repute. Avra Laboratories is a pioneer in initiating Contract Research in India. Avra is oriented to being a collaborative platform for providing competitive synthetic chemistry based services for process and discovery teams worldwide. In fact, this was the main constraint Rama Rao faced, ever since he initiated synthesis of biologically active compounds at the National Chemical Laboratory from the early 70s. It was his earnest desire that chemists working in various R&D Institutions should not face this problem forever.Rama Rao has converted this constraint into a business opportunity with the founding of a new organization - Avra Synthesis to offer a wide range of fine chemicals and solvents of Laboratory / Reagent Grade catering to the needs of various organizations involved in research.
