Wondering how a unicorn startup in the chemical industry is changing the business of chemicals? Join host Victoria Meyer as she speaks with Gaurab Chakrabarti, co-founder and CEO of Solugen, to explore innovative approaches that challenge the traditional paradigms of bigger, more efficient assets. Their conversation delves into alternative solutions for reducing carbon intensity, emphasizing the importance of local supply chains and circular feedstocks.

Gaurab Chakrabarti is a force in the chemical industry, renowned for his unique journey from aspiring medical doctor to pioneering entrepreneur. A Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, Gaurab's passion for studying pancreatic cancer led him to uncover parallels between cancer biology and chemical processing, ultimately inspiring him to co-found Solugen. Alongside his best friend Sean Hunt, Gaurab is committed to decarbonizing the chemical industry through innovative enzymatic catalysts and scalable, high-yield processes.

Learn more as Victoria and Gaurab discuss the following topics:

  • An unconventional start to a career: from physician to scientist to Forbes 30 under 30
  • Solugen's framework of decarbonization
  • Growing into a 2 billion company and the expectations that arise
  • How receiving a DOE loan creates an inflection point in growth
  • Workforce and cultural evolution of Solugen
  • Gaurab's career insights and advice

Killer Quote: "To build something of generational value, it's essential to ensure the problem you're solving is meaningful and worth committing to for at least ten years. The journey is long and challenging, but the personal and professional growth it accelerates is truly rewarding."

–Gaurab Chakrabarti
