Varaprasad reddy founder of shantha biotech, it's a must watch, especially for young folks who take India's current economic state for granted.

his journey on how he had to struggle to setup his pharma company and prevailing global and domestic conditions at that time and probably even today, should be available for a wider audience.

Shantha Biotech founder Dr ki varaprasad interview | Reason behind Shantha Biotechnics Start?| Hybiz

Amazing info he's revealed.

Some of the price reductions he's mentioned are mindboggling to say the least!

No wonder the global Pharma is becoming extremely uneasy with our domestic Pharma players.

Guy is an unapologetic Dharmic as well. Gave an interview in Telugu about "Bindi".

I think I have said it before, there are lessons to be learnt from industrialists that our domestic MSM discourse doesn’t capture.

Industrialists solve problems for a living, in India’s case our industrialists solve Indian problems for a living. there are stories to be told, which are not getting proper attention.

if you do weekend trip to your parents living 300km away with a gas guzzler semi truck ..
You will burn 50 liters alone. (600km return trip)

Imagine same with people doing 40-40 km up-down everyday since they can't pay premium price of main city apartments.

even their bikes are 1000CC choppers.

Imagine if chinese had choosen that mode of development instead of massive bullet train and metro network . We may criticize their heavy debt led infra development , but planet is less fckd than it should have . India going the same way with public transport and metro networks .

These kind of stories should be told to bureaucratic trainees in their training institute , to make govt machinaries sensitize , when they face entrepreneurs in real life . And that civilizational inferiority complex , lal salam mentality of our people is well observed in his story .

and on a side note, this is also a reason why i keep saying ESG ratings are not in India's interest.

say in 2022, will an aspiring businessman like him be allowed to prosper. i don't think so.

to get a high ESG rating,
-one has to talk woke,
-do woke,
-give money to woke causes,
-adopt woke hiring practices,
-adhere to whatever woke nonsense prevailing at that point in time,
-be part of the woke bandwagon.

ESG ratings are a western version of halal economics, where business people of a different point of view are discouraged and sidelined unless they go woke.

In the very early days Tvs group ran commuter buses to both rural and towns.

They had met with an recurring problem of buses getting punctured due to horseshoes fell off from the bull carts used by the locals. Those days repairing puncture were very expensive.

So tvs bought one bull cart/route with underslung heavy magnets and send it to their respective route before the light.

As expected his puncture problems are literally behind his rear view mirror.

Ya'll Nibbiars The Adani wants to be the Next Samsung.

Most of Major countries have this Conglomerate kind of system. Russia has oligarchy, Korea has Chaebols, Similar system in Japan, in some form in China too (Tencent & Alibaba group).

India had Tata-Birla-Bajaj-Godrej during license raj and West has Conglomerates controlling most of the private sectors.

Ahh yes, the mandatory collapse of dollar thread. Not going to happen until there is alternative, and currently there is none. Most countries are not going to trade in freaking yuan.
Dollar is here to stay and so is US economic and military power.

Only thing which is going to change is the return of Multi Polar world with new power centers.

We are underestimating US. They will remain the world power for next century at least.
