DGTL Voices with Ed Marx · Innovate With Constraints (ft. C.P. Gurnani) · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

His blogs are controversial at times.

He was also part of the Singularity University.

We all know the future is here kind of dialogues.

Now,

Vivek decided that the rest of his life, he's almost my age, he said the rest of his life he's going to devote to making cancer diagnostics affordable.

And he set a target that in developing countries or in poor countries, he will make it at the cost of less than $1.

Obviously, this means you reimagine technology.

So he reimagines technology by looking at how water contamination is identified.

So he looks at mass spectrometry.

Now, where do you think he's building his hardware?

He's building his hardware in one of our leading institutes called IIT Madras.

He chose not to build that hardware in Silicon Valley, not to build it in Austin, not to build it in Boston.

but really build it in IIT Madras.

So mass spectrometry, which if you today were to buy, you would be buying almost like a size of a boardroom table.

Now he's already been able to reduce the form factor to, I would say like a meter.

Now, what is his aim?

He wants to reduce it to one feet.

and make it where anybody can carry that mass spectrometer.

What is the timescale of that hardware being developed?

Less than a year, number one.
