  • 120 - Discussing the Covid 19 Second Wave in India | Anil Padmanabhan | Policy | Bharatvaarta
    Over the last couple of months, the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic  has ravaged through India. It has been a difficult time for all of us  and indeed, most of us have been personally affected. There is plenty of  interest both at home and abroad about the status of the pandemic and  the measures taken by the Modi administration to combat it.  
    In this special episode of Bharatvaarta, conducted in collaboration with  Conservative Friends of the Commonwealth, we spoke to veteran  journalist Anil Padmanabhan. He has written for publications such as the  Economic Times, Open Magazine, Khaleej Times, Mint, and India Today. He  is also a Nieman Foundation Fellow. 
    With his educated view, we cut through the clutter and see things the  way they are. We began the discussion with an introduction to the second  wave, exploring whether we were unprepared for the resurgence of the  pandemic. We then went on to discuss changes taht can be made to the  federal structure to increase effectiveness in such situations.   
    We also discussed media coverage of the second wave, parallels between  the UK and India, and possible steps that the government can take to  reduce the impact of the third wave. We ended by decoding the political impact of the second wave of COVID and the economic future of  India.   This podcast is available on YouTube, Apple, Google, Spotify, Breaker,  Stitcher, and other popular platforms.

  • 119 - Early Cancer Detection | Ashish Tripathi | Anish Tripathi | Bharatvaarta
    Tzar Labs and Epigeneres Biotech have jointly developed a new cancer  test, which is non-invasive, has diagnostic as well as prognostic value  and is easy to administer and scale up. They have conducted trials on a  large sample of 1000 cases and their test has worked very well.
    Ashish  Tripathi of Tzar Labs and Anish Tripathi of   Epigeneres   spoke to Bharatvaarta about their innovation and answered many  questions posed specifically by medical professionals, which  Bharatvaarta had crowd-sourced.
    The two  brothers are passionate about the social impact of an early cancer  diagnosis and prognosis - this not just helps families control their  medical expenses but also provides lifespan longevity to the impacted  patients. The test is named HrC and there is a deeply personal story  behind this, which was also covered by the Tripathi brothers.
    Ashish  has been an investment banker working across multiple countries while  Anish is a supply chain expert and consultant, also with extensive  global and India expertise. They plan to launch the test in India first,  although this has a huge global impact.
    Will  an Indian innovation in healthcare leave a lasting impact on the way the  world fights with cancer? Hear from the two individuals who may be at  the cusp of making history.
