"I did not want to play with Satwik"

Chirag on partnering Satwik: It wasn't personally though. We both are tall and lanky players and hence wanted to play at the back court. So we found it difficult adjusting to this partnership because no one wanted to play in the front court. The first few montsh we weren't able to find who will play in the front court and we lost in the very first rouynd in the first three tournaments we played. Our then coach took us out and explained how important this pairing is and urged us to give a little more time. But something changed, psychologically, because earlier we were forced to become partners. They we won four titles in a row."

Satwisksairaj opens up on partnering Chirag: "He was my opponent in the juinor stage. He was my enemy 5-6 years back. I wanted to beat him all the time because he beat me all the time and I was keen to get that revenge. But never imagined that he would become the most important person in my life. "

India's Potential in Diagnostics and the Need for Therapeutics Partnerships

Flaherty discussed the strengths and challenges within India's healthcare landscape.

He noted that India has the potential to lead the diagnostic revolution effectively on its own.

However, when it comes to therapeutics, access remains a significant issue. Many impactful cancer therapies are beyond the reach of the vast majority of Indians.

Flaherty emphasized the importance of addressing this issue and the need for partnerships to enhance access to therapeutic treatments.
