Reflecting 2024, Embracing 2025 | SciRio's Evolution

Thank you for sticking with us and believing in what we do. We wish you a new year filled with much science and more curiosity!

A Note from the Founder

As we wind down this year, I sat down with the team to reflect on all our achievements and to plan for 2025 with renewed enthusiasm.

We started 2024 with a vision to transform SciRio from a project-based company into a trusted partner for organisations across industries to create valuable content and build communication strategies.

The journey unfolded in remarkable ways:

We began the year at the India Science Festival, participating in the Think Labs exercise, where I helped develop a customisable training module for implementing science communication courses in academic institutions. Invitations to various events in cities like Lucknow and Baroda followed, where I shared SciRio’s success story and inspired others to explore the path of science communication and entrepreneurship.

In the early part of the year, I conducted numerous workshops for diverse audiences, from Buddhist monks and nuns to researchers and students at state and private universities like VIT Vellore and Amity University Jaipur. These workshops were not just training programs in science communication but windows of opportunity for participants to experience how science can be communicated to make it part of everyday life.

Also, we redefined our service model into structured packages based on client pain points and requirements. From creating meaningful content on social media to drafting reports and white papers that can position them as thought leaders.

Throughout the year, we worked with some amazing organisations and companies that place science communication and public engagement at the heart of their vision. Collaborations with M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) and Science Journalism Association of India (SJAI) reinforced our vision of making science accessible and impactful.

By mid-year, we experimented with services for healthcare, wellness, and biotech companies, creating communication material that took customer awareness and education seriously.

Also, I was invited to Berlin in November for the Falling Walls Science Summit 2024. Serving on the jury for Falling Walls Engage was a remarkable opportunity for global collaboration and recognition of SciRio as an impactful vehicle for bridging science and society.

As a team, we grew in size and revenue! The collective efforts of our team, collaborators, and friends made these milestones possible.

Looking ahead, we have set ambitious goals for 2025:

• Enhancing our existing services and adding new ones to the stack.

• Doubling the team and tripling our revenue.

• Launching a major initiative that many have eagerly anticipated—a big launch (or re-launch) awaits!
