Featuring - Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
In today's episode, we sit down with Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson of Biocon Limited, to talk about rejection, risk, and how she built India's biggest biotech company from a garage.
We discuss why every brewery in India refused to hire her despite her topping her class, why her father refused to pay a capitation fee to get her into medical college, and why she believes India keeps losing its best ideas to the rest of the world. Kiran explains how she brought insulin prices down from ₹1,000 to ₹100, how a personal loss led her to develop cheaper cancer treatments, and why she thinks India's fear of failure is holding back real innovation.
The conversation also covers the $3.35 billion acquisition everyone called a mistake, why she's never once doubted herself in 48 years, and what she looks for in a successor after building a company from scratch.
