Armed with nique background of working with nature for long, Dr. Watve brings together unique insights into the Coronavirus and overall world micro/nano organisms interacting with our macro world, evolution and science of today. His book Doves, Diplomats and Diabetes provides a unique new view into the world of metabolism and we talk about that and new technologies potentially proving some of these breakthroughs making life easier.

This first episode is discussion on Coronavirus pandemic and its connection to science and its impact on humanity and future globally. The Guest is Dr. Aniket Ausekar, a molecular biologist, entrepreneur and a keen observer of life with deep experience across US, Europe and Asia. We start with where we are today in this Coronavirus lifecycle if it was a movie, deal with where it comes from and marvel at how much we dont know yet of the nano world. We briefly talk about what is a virus, a mystery for most with a lot of misconceptions. Then we turn into how developments in computing will help humanity to crack similar enigmas, and exciting innovative global companies and their ecosystems. We end the talk by connecting this to ancient systems of knowledge as well as how Asia, India and city of Pune are placed in terms of evolution of deep science based transformative businesses.
