In today’s episode, Tommy talks with Valmik Rao, a student philanthropist who aims to solve the world’s biggest problems, one step at a time.
For Valmik, it’s not video games and parties that get him excited. Most of the time, he’s diving deep into genetic research, bringing awareness to societal issues, and innovating products and services that can make a significant impact on the world. Valmik is a graduate of The Knowledge Society (TKS), a trusted incubator for young innovators.
Valmik talks with Tommy about the barriers to a sustainable world, catapulting causes, stem cell advocacy, and other issues that disproportionately affect third-world countries.
