Saurav Khanna is a licensed process engineer with more than a decade of experience designing and delivering aseptic and sterile fill-finish facilities, as well as facilities for highly hazardous compound containment. Every project he takes on is guided by one principle: creating environments that protect patients and ensure product integrity while meeting the highest global regulatory standards.
“What motivates me is the far-reaching impact my work has on the people around me. Aseptic filling of drug products is the last line of defense in the manufacturing process before they are administered to the patients. That responsibility makes every detail matter, and that’s what drives me to get it right.”
Saurav’s career has taken him from strategic consulting and facility design to hands-on oversight of equipment installation and integration. This breadth of experience gives him a practical perspective on GMP compliance and operational efficiency, helping clients balance technical rigor with real-world functionality.
He holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering and is actively involved with ISPE. At CRB, Saurav partners with leading pharmaceutical companies to deliver solutions that meet stringent regulatory expectations while supporting innovation and long-term operational success.
Outside of work, Saurav enjoys combining his love of travel and food by exploring new destinations and local cuisines. On weekends, he can often be found experimenting with new recipes in his kitchen, continuing a personal tradition of curiosity and discovery.
