Simi welcomes Hitha Palepu to the pod. Hitha is the definition of a multi-hypenate -- an entrepreneur, investor, writer, and speaker.
With a background in pharma, she currently serves as CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals. Rhoshan Pharma is an early stage life sciences company creating enhanced versions of existing drugs to provide essential early treatment to the acute leading causes of death. Hitha also doubles as a startup investor and advisor, having invested in primarily in female-founded companies like MM.LaFleur and The Juggernaut. In addition, Hitha's runs a blog, Hitha On The Go, which has gained a significant following and paved the path to her first book.
In this episode, Hitha delves deep into why she believes in the future of pharma and what it's like to wear the hat of operator as an investor. She gets candid about "doing it all," and offers advice for young South Asians who aspire to do the same.
