Description

How does a top executive who helped build India's semiconductor industry pivot to fight one of the world's biggest health crises? On the new Chai and Chips episode, I sit down with Dr. Anand Anandkumar, Cofounder & CEO of Bugworks. He shares his extraordinary journey from designing complex microchips to inventing new drugs against untreatable "superbugs"—a silent pandemic the WHO calls a top global threat. This isn't just a story about technology; it's a masterclass in purpose, resilience, and building what truly matters. In this conversation, you will learn: 🔹 The deeply personal story of survival that fuelled his mission to make his life "count." 🔹 Why the world hasn't had a new class of antibiotics in over 60 years and the broken economics behind it. 🔹 How AI is revolutionizing drug discovery, turning traditional biotech into cutting-edge "Tech Bio." 🔹 His powerful vision for India to become a global leader by solving its own problems with affordable, deep-science innovation. If you want to understand the future of science in India and be inspired by a leader who defines what it means to innovate for humanity, this episode is for you.
