Who we are

A data company and more is how our clients typically describe us – someone who gives them’ ideas they didn’t have before’ and what we do is “all the bits in between that I have to do”

We started wanting to be like our competition a data company that played the game in that market but we were lucky enough to work with clients who educated us on this journey. By asking better questions we got better answers for our clients and with these better answers we developed a client driven tailored solution for the market place. Every single product was born out of a client need, adjusted and implemented to help them make money and save time. We are your outsourced brain. The ultimate goal is accurate leads and successful meetings - this is what we get you.

Our approach is consultative and we make sure your CRM is 100% accurate to help you develop a successful strategy, so you get to the right person in the right company at the right time with a need and the money.

Our Founder

ANIL KUMAR
FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR

 Anil is an entrepreneur who has built a number of successful enterprises and is the Managing Director of The Targeting Group.

He is known in the industry as 'The Super Connector’ because he makes sure his clients get to the right person, with the money at the right time, and are first to market. Having started his career in science as an immunologist, he felt the pull of the commercial side was too strong for him, a people’s person at heart he felt the best way to give back and build was by helping scientists concentrate on the science whilst he took care of everything else. This background allowed him to speak to the right people in their language and build a client base who trusted him to look after their interests.

In 2013 he started Pharma Targeting, a bespoke research house, from a small office near his home and by 2020 The Targeting Group had 2 UK offices, 2 in India, as well as offices in Argentina, Scotland and Switzerland and employs over 300 people with a backbone of world-class pharmaceutical, strategy and marketing consultants on top of 250 PhD analysts.

Whether it’s pharmaceutical related service providers, VC firms, private equity,, consultancies or pharma or biotech itself he has helped seed companies of all types to grow into highly profitable entities.

The Targeting group supports education and is an established partner of leading institutions including UCL, KCL, the University of Mumbai, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), UNSAM (Universidad Nacional de San Martin) and UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires). It is committed to developing and providing a successful career route for the best and brightest students.
