Adar Poonawalla on vaccines, strategy, and legacy | Pathbreakers

Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India, joins Forbes India's Neha Bothra on the next edition of Pathbreakers. In a frank conversation, Poonawalla talks about what it takes to be at the forefront of an unprecedented pandemic and how his company manufactured billions of doses of the Covishield vaccine in record time to help India tide through the crisis and inch back to normalcy. The pandemic is over, but Poonawalla hasn't let go of the learnings. He has decided to build the world's largest pandemic facility to ensure that the country isn't brought to its knees because of a deadly virus. Serum Institute, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, launched an HPV vaccine recently, and a wide range of vaccines are in the pipeline. Poonawalla says he is close to finding a vaccine for HIV but "it is too soon to celebrate" at this stage. Poonawalla also shares the strategic roadmap for the NBFC business, Poonawalla Vision Fund, and listing plans for different verticals.

Why is Mr. Adar doing Kathakali dance with his hands??😂

[@sardarbootasingh2708]

Has a wonderful and brilliant father. They are Parsis who have maintained their rich, cultural, ethnic (pure Aryan), etc. past yet contributed towards their beloved country India. Once a Parsi man or a women marries outside like us Jat-Sikhs the family technically keeps them at a distance. I do not blame them and understand their pride in purity. We want to see the Parsis multiply and retain their absolute ethnic purity. Mixing more often results in a community vanishing (since the progeny lack roots) as history has made evident.
