From New Delhi to Kentucky to Biotech founder, Lalit Sharma’s journey into drug discovery has been one of relentless learning and ambition.
In this episode, Lalit shares how his love for chemistry led him from a PhD in organic synthesis to leading cutting-edge drug discovery programs that reached clinical trials. Now the founder and CEO of a stealth-mode company tackling the data gap in AI-driven drug design, he reflects on the lessons of building small, high-impact teams, the importance of lifelong learning, and why good storytelling is as essential as good science.
We also dive into the realities of building a Biotech from scratch, the role of luck (and preparation), and the power of collaboration across disciplines.
