Coming up: Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwala on ITEL and his next moonshots

Earlier this week, Professor Ashok Jhunjhunwala, who built the IIT Madras Research Park, among many other things, turned 73. The architect of India's technology-led affordable innovation is already steeped in his next set of moonshots, whose scope and ambition is Bharat-scale.
And earlier this month, Roots and Wings, his authorised biography, was also released, a required-read for anyone interested in the story of technology in India, written by Saloni Malhotra.
Padma Shri Jhunjhunwala, doyen among the architects of India's technology-led affordable innovation, isn't taking a breather. He is already steeped in his next set of moonshots, whose scope and ambition is Bharat-scale.
I got a chance to catch up with him to talk about some of these projects, which are in early stage at the Immersive Technology and Entrepreneurship Lab (ITEL), an industry-consortium-led effort to tackle some of India's most entrenched problems.
Prof. Jhunjhunwala became Chairman of ITEL after stepping back from the research park two years ago.
