In a world racing toward digital transformation, few companies walk the tightrope of innovation and sustainability with the finesse of Pragmatiq Systems. Founded by industry veteran Bharat Kumar Reddy Gujavarti, this Hyderabad-based tech enterprise is quietly rewriting the rules of how technology can serve humanity. With a bold focus on solving real-world problems in Healthcare, Education, Agriculture, and Life Sciences – the HEAL sectors – Pragmatiq isn’t just building software; it’s building impact.
The Spark of an Idea
Back in the day when startups were still a novelty in India, Bharat Kumar Reddy Gujavarti was already chasing a dream. With nearly three decades of experience in software product development and a portfolio that includes global successes, Bharat was driven by more than just code – he was driven by purpose.
“I’ve always had a passion for building futuristic products,” Bharat shares. “But I wanted to build something that mattered, that could stand the test of time, and actually make a difference.”
That philosophy laid the foundation for Pragmatiq, a sustainable technology company focused on the most crucial sectors affecting human lives—Healthcare, Education, Agriculture, and Life Sciences (HEAL).
The HEAL Philosophy: A Different Kind of Tech Company
From its inception, Pragmatiq was built around the belief that technology must be pragmatic – a blend of innovation, relevance, and human-centered design. Rather than limiting itself to one vertical, the company strategically chose to partner and co-develop products across the HEAL domains.
In healthcare, Pragmatiq collaborates with Clinally, a top provider of Clinical Decision Support Systems in India. Today, their AI powered CDSS is integrated with more than 10 public and private Healthcare Software providers, touching several lakhs of patients in proactively addressing NCDs.
In life sciences, their clientele includes several global Top 10 pharmaceutical companies. Pragmatiq Academy of Life Sciences (PALS), its life sciences education division offers 3-year bachelor’s degree programs under the work integrated training programme in collaboration with, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS-SVE) to youth. This course allows the students who have completed 12th standard and are seeking non-formal educational methods to enhance earning capabilities and thereby improve livelihood conditions. Today PALS has an alumnus of 250+ students.
In education, the company’s flagship product, PurpleGene®, is rapidly transforming how institutions view personalized learning. Besides this, one of the first AI powered campus automation system is being launched for schools and colleges across India in collaboration with Learnsquare Technologies. A total of 70+ events conducted during 2024, touching 50,000+ students with their products, Pragmatiq is looking to reach 2,00,000+ active users on their platform by end of academic year 2025-26.
A Mission That Stands Apart
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for Bharat—it’s the very soul of Pragmatiq.
“To me, sustainability is threefold,” he explains. “It’s about creating long-lasting solutions, having a financially viable business model, and making a positive difference in people’s lives.”
This clarity of thought is reflected in the company’s diversified strategy, ensuring steady revenue while building groundbreaking solutions—an approach that has allowed Pragmatiq to weather storms like COVID-19 and market disruptions brought on by Generative AI.
The Tech That Powers the Vision
At the heart of Pragmatiq’s solutions lies a commitment to the latest, most impactful technologies—but always with a human touch. Whether it’s Generative AI, advanced image and video processing, AI-based personalization models, or Edge Computing, every tool is used to bring meaningful, personalized solutions to life.
From precision medicine and personalized learning journeys to smart agriculture systems, Pragmatiq is turning futuristic ideas into everyday solutions. Their upcoming platform, LAND LORDZ, for instance, is set to be India’s first personalized agriculture system—blending data, AI, and farmer wisdom for better yields and sustainable practices.
People First: A Culture of Agility and Empowerment
Bharat isn’t your conventional CEO. His leadership style is guided by what he calls the 3P philosophy – Product Direction, Prioritization of Activities, and People Alignment.
One of Pragmatiq’s most remarkable attributes is its unique team culture. Bharat and his core team has made a conscious decision to hire fresh graduates, especially from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, nurturing them into world-class developers and thinkers.
“We give them real responsibility from day one. Multiple projects, direct client interaction, and the freedom to switch technologies—it’s a boot camp of the real world,” says Bharat.
The company’s mantra? “Be ready to change always.”
This culture of agility, risk-taking, and empowerment has created a team that not only delivers but thrives under pressure—constantly innovating, constantly growing.
2025 and Beyond: Dreams in the Making
If 2024 was about proving that the product thoughts align with industry needs, 2025 is about scaling up. The company is now gearing up to expand its product portfolio. Along with PurpleGene®, Bharat is excited about launching LANDLORDZ, a personalized agriculture platform, and RITEBOOK, a sustainable and innovative notebook that blends tradition with technology.
Lessons from the Journey
When asked about the biggest challenges, Bharat reflects with honesty. “From my first startup in 1996 till now, the core struggles haven’t changed. Talent, timing, and tenacity remain constant hurdles. But one big lesson I’ve learned is – startups must be hybrid.”
By working across domains and creating consistent revenue streams, Pragmatiq is sidestepping the pitfalls many modern startups fall into – over-dependence on a single idea or investor funding.
The Vision: Sustainability = Personalization = Pragmatism
For Bharat and his team, success isn’t a destination, it’s an evolving journey. From a one-man dream to a 30+ member strong organization serving 20+ clients across the globe, Pragmatiq has come a long way. But as Bharat puts it, “We’re just getting started.”
His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs….
“Entrepreneurship has deep roots in history. But what sets today’s entrepreneurs apart is the ability to create something that stands the test of time and serves future generations. Believe in yourself. Uncover your inner strength what I refer to as, your PURPLEGENE®—and let it be the foundation upon which you build your journey.”
