Ep #7 | Who is Kiran Mazumdar Shaw Really? And WTF is Biotech?

[@siddhantpardeshi1204]

i truly admire how Nikhil asks questions within questions to the guests, making it easier for the average audience to grasp the topic they're talking about. it's incredibly enlightening

[@youtubeexplorer282]

Get a life

[@vjraghavan1]

Nikhlil you have some great friends . You lucky to be around people with such inspiring ideas and beautiful minds . Thanks for sharing this videos . And making us a part of this interesting conversation..you doing every bit to this country to progress..❤

[@kamariahrajainthiran1805]

👍✌️

[@kamariahrajainthiran1805]

🤙

[@karan7967]

Thanks for continuing to inspire the country 🙌

[@shubhamraj5481]

Nikhil Kamath teaches us that you should not hesitate when you're asking question.

[@shrinidhikulkarni479]

So true

[@coolcab05]

It's easier if the person is your friend and you arrange whole thing.. so it's easier said then done

[@RoamMeYo]

@@coolcab05 asking question is not the tough part, but to get an answer it is. Just do your part be curious, and let it flow or not (which is not in your control). Ask it, just do it.

[@umabugde4978]

Yes. When you have experienced interviewees like Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, one needs to listen and I think even if you ask a dumb question, she will be gracious enough to answer

[@tiya_jain]

I thought she was younger. Looking at how passionate she is about her work and is still so driven even at 70. Must take great courage to be who she is. Thank you for the show ❤

[@random_person_on_internet]

She is 70!😮 I thought she is 60 or something

[@XxExternalBleedin100]

Finally a high-quality Indian podcast!! There is a massive gap in the Indian podcast space, and I hope this one bridges that gap as Nikhil has the connections & finances to put out valuable content. Thank you.

[@nehabhandari3905]

Love these podcasts

[@DrShauryaGarg_INTD]

Spot on. I share the exact same view. Loved this episode.

[@RayWI6]

well said man, spot on observation.

[@vineethshetty]

I initially thought it would be slightly boring going just by the no of guests. But what an episode and what a woman ! Very inspiring and thoughtful. Cheers for creating this !!!

[@keshavmalpani6610]

same , thought it would be a bit boring , but there are so many things to grasp that one might need to rewatch

[@sarathtech91]

Our country produces many incredible entrepreneurs, but it doesn't often produce pioneers who develop technology that transcends globally. A very powerful moment is when she says she went to Ireland, 'not because I didn't understand the technology, but to see how it works.' We need a series on Kiran's life that could inspire a new generation of biotech engineers and entrepreneurs.

[@NarendraKumar-rq1lq]

What an amazing personality, Mrs. Shaw. Her clarity of thoughts and articulation are truly remarkable

[@priyankamandal5106]

What an episode! Bringing someone like Kiran to spend 2 hours talking about her workz her motivations, how she build her company while life went on. This was 2 hours of sheer brilliance. Thank you Nikhil and thank you Kiran maam. ❤

[@sukantchakraborty8902]

Nikhil - you are one of such rare people that I have seen to have the profoundness of depth at such young age on life as a whole. You are for sure an old soul! God bless you always ! Not to forget what a pleasure it has been to hear the inspiring stories of Kiran ! Love and respect to both of you ❤❤

[@kirababe8914]

I am doing btech in biotechnology and this video has helped me a lot in knowing more about how we can be an entrepreneur in fields such as biotech... I have always loved biocon and wanted to know more about it and how it started... Kiran Mazumdar has always inspired me and this video has given me a strong base for my inspiration towards biotech..thank you

[@rangrezz.a]

Absolutely cherished this episode! ✨ Every-time she speaks about her late husband or late mother, you can see the sparkle of love and warmth for them in her eyes. ❤️

[@NainaAgarwal05]

She is the First Lady/ women entrepreneur who was my inspiration even when in all honesty I did not understand what career is and what I would like to do! But today listening to her, I feel truly inspired by the well rounded person she is. Her approach is so balanced!

[@sarathtech91]

Surprised this video hasn't blown up. There is so much wisdom and info to kickstart research here. Biotech has incredible potential for the future and it is literally Life Saving.

[@akshaysi]

Thank you, Nikhil. This episode alone is a service to the nation. Absolutely love your podcasts.

[@bhumija2023]

Kiran Ma'am is a true inspiration a gem in real sense. This is a real podcast by definition should be not bluffing around throwing nonsense pretending something else which is seen by other people and podcasts channel. Something worthy on podcast path. Kudos to team members 👏

I was oblivious to a woman of this caliber existing living and breathing today, in the same world as me. I am seeing new heights of intelligence and success through her. Great episode!

[@sms150]

Finally Nikhil Kamath... New fav Podcast host. I have listened past all podcasts atleast 3-4 times each. It's peaceful and lot of learning. Please bring Josh CEO. He has got great communication

[@rehanashraf5024]

Nikhil is doing public service with these interesting and informative podcasts! Thank you nikhil!!

[@dmoudgalya001]

To be honest , these episodes are so informative and highly educative...I am truly thankful to Nikhil Kamath..u r a legend man...ur way of thinking, approach is so inspiring for me professionally and personally...my salutes to u man....please continue these kind....hoping to see many more legends in ur episodes like sudha Murthy , ratan tata , mohandas pai, Rahul Dravid, etc . and also all type of Indian achievers this country has ever produced.

[@nithyaashree474]

Awesome! Thanks for having a woman, who has inspired several other women.

[@harryrockerz]

Unbelievable! What the team did towards the end is something we'd never have been able to fathom. Both of you are legends, and Ms. Shaw is a personified legend. Salute to the spirit of empowering the country. Best wishes.

[@anoopvb6939]

"Wealth is not about money, it's about value creation". What a beautiful intellectual perspective of money! Loved the podcast It's fascinating that Bangalore has the most number of startups based on life sciences

[@RiseUp_Again]

Cannot Believe that Kiran Ji is 70 years, She speaks & Sounds like a Young Entrepreneur, exact same Excitement & Energy. Amazing Level of Indepth Knowledge & Experience.

[@umabugde4978]

We need a movie on women like her. So inspiring

[@pallaviswaroop8210]

What an amazing Podcast. Truly inspiring. What an intelligent lady Ms. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw is....

[@kritikaagarwal1655]

I don’t remember the last time I saw suchh an engaging podcast. It’s 3 in the night here and I couldn’t just stop and put my phone down because this felt soo refreshing. I learnt soo many new things, I am reminded of soo many things and this is what Bangalore has been all about, for people who are really passionate and hardworking and be who they are without any virtue signaling. Thank you sir for creating this.

[@amanpreetsinghgill4017]

[@vinitasharoldsilva]

Thanks Nikhil for this !! Listening to such an evolved leader is such a joy!! ❤❤

[@aditya_baser]

This is one of the best podcasts that I have listened to. Incredible to hear the amount of effort that goes into building a company from ground up 👏👏

[@vasundras4746]

This is podcasting gold! One of the best podcast episodes I’ve stumbled upon. We need more like this one…

[@dhruvaparmar28]

Damn! I can’t believe this lady is 70!!! I’m in awe

[@abidchris]

I am glad to have come across WTF and Nikhils podcasts. The guests Nikhil is able to host, the manner in which he is able to engage with them, and the knowledge that the audience is gaining is tremendous. Congratulations to Nikhil and the entire team for producing such high-quality episodes.

[@varshapatil5926]

Wow Mam 👏🏻 my role model 🎉m n post graduation in biotechnology!! I always a big fan with so much of love I watched this interview thank you Nikhil!

Loved the fact the she went to Australia in 1975 and returned back and made highly successful company. On other hand I lived in Australia for 5 years and back in India and still struggling.

Not everything is valued on monetary grounds. There is much more valuable, knowledge (if not then we wouldn't have been educated by our teachers). Learn and be thankful.

[@chimibbhutia4168]

Wow!! It was an absolutely awesome conversation with icon Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw. She is the pioneering face of women entrepreneurs in India. Her story has inspired millions of women, including me, who are entrepreneurs all over the world. Thank you, Nikhil, you always inspire with your work.🙌.

What an insightful conversation….rarely is one able to sit through a 2 hour show these days but was hooked throughout this episode

[@ShyamalKumarK]

Truly inspiring. My mother has always been her biggest admirer.

Hey Nikhil, Your dedication to making a positive impact on the world is commendable. The generosity and compassion you show towards those in need is a shining example of humanity at its best. Your efforts are not only changing lives but also spreading hope and kindness in a world that often needs it the most.

[@pb9417]

Handsome, wealthy, knowledgeable, and calm. All these adjectives go perfectly well with Nikhil.

[@tanyatango4197]

One of the few examples of pure innovation driven entrepreneurship in India

[@Me.isha.]

Love the elegance with which you talk to your guests .. again can’t thank you enough for interviewing my childhood role model 🥰.. great lessons shared by ma’m for young founders to be aware of failures and prepared and what to avoid . Gives us women strength to believe in ourselves after knowing someone like ma’m struggled to establish herself !! Very inspiring

[@pisctacciosorbet]

Totally enjoyed how Kiran narrated whole her journey in such a simple and transparent manner. This chat itself can be termed as consolidated case study on India biotech industry.

[@meenajain617]

I have been a volunteer with TFPI from inception, they are treading the path where no. one dares, rehabilitating survivors of human trafficking. Commendable job . I strongly nominate TFPI for the award.

[@p.siddhartha629]

Thank you Nikhil for starting this initiative of Philontraphy and inviting people to be part of this great cause. I am sure there are many who want to contribute and make a difference but are not sure if it would be channeled to the right cause. We need crediable voices like you, who people can trust to take it forward🙏

[@ravindersyal6613]

This by far was one of the best interactions. Kieran was just astounding but nikhil was at his best on his curiosity. One on one.

To get to listen to two genius of our country talk is such an enriching experience. Thank you so much

Exceptional from Nikhil Kamath. Applauds🙂

[@raavijain7940]

I've never seen a woman so confident & so clear with her work & life! Kudos to Kiran! We really need more woman in the business and it's really sad that there are few. And the few we see are only from wealthy families, for a common woman it is impossible to achieve success like this.

[@rammohan5354]

Not sure how this missed out from my list and just listening today and what an intellectual Woman she is and very well articulated her Biocon life. Pranamam to both of you guys doing this conversation.

[@jsk1385]

Kiran Mazumdar Shaw has wow'd in this interview. Very very surprised cause she has name but her intelligence and brilliance is under rated. I am so super impressed right now.

[@puneetjaiswal2007]

What an episode !! Her thought about having a baby even she doesn’t have one was so selfless and insightful and the last part , philosophy about life, absolutely spot on. No doubt she is a successful woman. Thanks nikhil and kiran for such overwhelming episode .

[@raavijain7940]

Nikhil, please invite more women entrepreneurs on the show. Young girls need role models like these successful women to draw inspiration from and aspire to reach similar heights

[@outofblr]

Such a beautiful talk.. I took my time, a couple of days, but it truly helped me understand, a couple of outstanding people and their outstanding achievements and also made me appreciate that our country is definitely going places!! Sampath

[@peacock8633]

Such a great podcast! I was always an admirer of Ms Kiran M Shaw, but the podcast was an eye-opener about her companies, startups, and achievements. What an incredible Leader! It is so refreshing to listen to real changemakers rather than Bollywood. Please continue to bring out the OG Changemakers and their stories. It is so inspiring. Most actors already have thousands of platforms to showcase their ''talent and journey''. Indians sadly have become a celebrity obsessed nation. Good luck with this venture. Looking forward to more podcasts like Ms Kiran M Shaw.

[@roopaa5746]

Thank you #NikhilKamath for inviting Kiran Mazumdar to your show. I hope to see more women entrepreneurs on your show. As for a noble cause to donate funds, I think we should consider any NGO that works for caring/improving the lives of animals.

Damn I tot this was going to be another podcast where we can enhance our knowledge & here we have another surprise from Nikhil Kamath. He already has Rainmatter & he wants to do more through this medium. I admire what the Kamath brothers are doing already & these things that they do just gravitates me towards liking them even more.

[@medtechmax8551]

Nikhil is doing a very good job with his podcast episodes. I would request bringing some big giants from medical device industry like seimens, medtronics, voxelgrids etc to give insights about how to approach a health technology or medical device industry. So many aspiring health-tech entreprenuers would love it and benefit from it.
