The second episode of The Smart Protein Pod features Subramani Ramachandrappa—a.k.a. Subbu—a serial biotech entrepreneur and one of the most experienced precision fermentation forerunners in India. Drawing on over two decades of leadership across enzyme production, biopharma, and smart protein manufacturing (including his role in founding Richcore, now Laurus Bio), Subbu joins GFI India’s Fathima Beevi for a grounded and insightful conversation about scaling precision fermentation in India and the Global South.

If we want to feed all 10 billion of us in a sustainable, healthy, and just way, we need to reimagine how we source our food. Running for two seasons until 2021, this podcast has all those answers and much more.
