Gedela Srinubabu is an Indian businessman, scientist and politician. He is the chief executive officer of Pulsus Group and founder of its parent company the OMICS Publishing Group, a scientific journal publishing company that publishes science findings online for free for readers.[4][5]

Srinubabu was the co-convenor of the Health, Pharma, and Tech Summit Series, executed across the G20 countries to promote AI in healthcare and technology advancements. He is also an executive council member of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University, Srikakulam.

OMICS' journals and conferences have been characterized as predatory publishing journals and predatory conferences with poor quality controls and a lack of legitimate services.[6][7][8] As a result of this business model, Srinubabu's journals have been banned from indexing within the National Institutes of Health's PubMed Central.[9] Additionally, in 2019, his company OMICS Publishing Group[10] was required to pay 50.1 million dollars in damages[11] following a US Federal Trade Commission complaint that the company was deceiving researchers[12] and the academicians.[13][14]
