I had found myself a new mission - and once more my recurring dilemma between corporate commercial needs and personal scientific ambitions was solved unexpectedly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My passion for innovation and my interest in the 'business of science' has seen Biocon commercialize many innovative platforms and products.
All the work that I do, whether or not it ends up being commercially successful or not, feels like the most important thing to me while I'm doing it. I try to take something away from every project, and so they all feel like milestones for one reason or another.
Through this additional support, we must renew our commitment to provide talented young people with the opportunity to build scientific careers based on their curiosity, the same opportunity that was provided to me when I began my work.
The idea that I could push the envelope using dedication and research and endless curiosity has propelled me in my life's work.
Doors open to you every time you get a different role. So, yeah, the research is my passion; that's why I keep doing it.
The only way you survive is you continuously transform into something else. It's this idea of continuous transformation that makes you an innovation company.
You know, you want everything you do, obviously, to be a success critically and commercially. But what you find out as you go along is that everything won't.
When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.
My transition from scientist to entrepreneur? Some would say that I still haven't made that transition.
I have always been driven by the ambition to solve every problem I face, whether as a scientist, engineer or entrepreneur.
