Ep. 635: feat. Varun Deshpande

On this episode, Cyrus is joined by Varun Deshpande, Managing Director of Good Food Institute, India & Co-host of the 'Feeding 10 Billion' podcast. They talk about Varun's recent feature in GQ's '25 Most Influential Young Indians' list, what the Good Food Institute's goal is, where plant-based and cell-based meats and other foods stand today, the aim to have these alternately sourced foods taste as close to traditionally sourced foods as possible, how it's even possible to make plants taste like meat, working with Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza's new plant-based meat initiative called 'Imagine Meats' and how the Good Food Institute is involved with that, working with other entrepreneurs to come out with good and delicious plant-based foods, GFI India's partnership with XPRIZE and 'The India Smart Protein Innovation Challenge', and tons more. They also answer some pressing AMA questions, so don't miss those.
