The golden age of Chettiars

From pharmacy to innovation hub: Why India needs a regulatory revolution in biotech
The article first appeared in The Economic Times on August 18, 2025. Last week, the PM stated in his Independence Day speech: 'We are known as the 'pharmacy of the world'.

They are preparing the 22-metre odd Vikram-1 launch vehicle, slated for an orbital launch later this year.
