A professor at @iitbombay & docs in @TataMemorial developed a #cancer therapy over 7 yrs. Large pharma firms scoffed. Today, 98 patients have received the drug,50% show +response. Global scientists are shocked. How did they manage ? What’s their story? I find out @livemint Image A prof who came from a village where schools had no classrooms. 2 docs who were tired of seeing thousands of patients line up for one bed. They fought for grants, their PhD students worked in 150sft labs that were part of cabins. ⚠️Why don’t we lay a bet on our own scientists? Image

Meet Allrounder.His job is to coax fresh grads to get fake experience in their resume for Rs 2 lakh.

He works in Ameerpet-the nerve centre for India Inc’s moonlighters & IT coaching centre.

It thrives on the lakhs of jobless degree holders.

I report from Ameerpet @livemint Janakiram-a fortune teller who sits on the road in Ameerpet (Hyderabad) has IT graduates asking him when will onboarding in their firms start?

Q) After spending Rs12-20 lakh in engineering will you take up a job offering CTC Rs 1 lakh?

Ans-Most will
