STIRA PHARMACEUTICALS LLC Certified By the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council –
FAIRFIELD, NJ—March/12/2026— Stira Pharmaceuticals LLC, a business specializing in sterile injectables manufacturing and advanced analytical testing, is proud to announce its national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council Metro NY, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC Certification is widely recognized as the gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States.
“Achieving WBENC Certification is an important milestone for Stira Pharmaceuticals,” said Sandhya Kantamaneni, President. “It reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and leadership in the pharmaceutical industry, while also strengthening our ability to connect with organizations that value supplier diversity. As a women-owned business, this certification is meaningful not only for our company, but also for the broader community of women entrepreneurs working to create opportunity, drive innovation, and build a more inclusive economy.”
The WBENC certification standard, implemented by the Women’s Business Enterprise Council Metro NY, is a rigorous process that includes an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm that the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by one or more women, and that it has the appropriate structure, strategic planning, and operational oversight in place.
By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and strengthening their supplier diversity programs. In turn, this helps empower women as leaders and contributes to a more diverse, balanced, and sustainable economy.
WBENC Certification, combined with professional development and engagement within the WBENC network, provides year-round opportunities — both virtual and in-person — for women-owned businesses to grow, expand, and innovate through events, programming, and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
