“this is not pre-2014 india.” One more reason not to believe him or trust his company.
a lot has been said about the peptide get-together, so let me say my part.
it was an educational meetup - no injectables, no products, no prescriptions. just curious people discussing the science behind a class of molecules the fda is actively reviewing - the same class that includes some of the most prescribed drugs in the world today. the kind of meetup that happens in SF every weekend.
our intent was always awareness, never harm. and honestly - the response from authorities has been the encouraging part.
this is not pre-2014 india. the officials we are seeing are engaged, serious, and acting in good faith to protect people. that's exactly what regulators should do, and i respect it. regulation done right isn't the enemy of science - it's what makes an industry legitimate and durable.
caution from doctors is fair too - it's literally their job. all we ask is that we pair that caution with curiosity. real debate on mechanisms, data, dosing, long-term unknowns. i'll show up for that conversation any day.
because here's what i actually believe: biotech is one of the biggest opportunities india has. we have the doctors, the chemists, the manufacturing base, the cost advantage. everything is here.
we are happy to work with the authorities, collaboratively and transparently, to help build the frameworks this industry needs. builders and regulators on the same side of the table.
⭐️ the next wave of this science shouldn't come out of SF. it should come out of india. this time, india must lead - and i want to help make that happen from here.
