Life is a powerful play of possibility for the cultured, soft-spoken Poonawallas.The dapper scion of the Serum Institute can choose his calling, from one day to the next. He could be standing by one of his scientists at the family’s laboratory, staring down a microscope, feeling butterflies in his stomach as he witnesses a newly developed vaccine extinguishing a dangerous microbe. He could be savouring the thrill of chasing a deal halfway around the world, to either purchase a patent or introduce a new vaccine to the world! All that work does not come without its glamourous byproducts – international fame, closed door invitations to charity galas, screenings and afterparties at Cannes, the Golden Globe awards, the Oscars… and more!

Adar and Natasha, like a lot of their generation, are avid globe-trotters, super-shoppers of not mere commodities, but ideas. They are also unwitting ambassadors of a far more confident, prosperous young India. Imagine the sheer range and breadth of global realities they access, to wit an example, at the World Economic Forum at Davos; “I represent India and the biotech sector there, it is where a lot of health policies are made,” shares Adar, matter-offactly. He also informs, “I am on the board of GAVI (The Global Alliance for the Vaccine Initiative), an association where you have people like Bill Gates and many others like him, who are donating their time and money, making sure healthcare reaches the poorest people of the world. These are two bodies I am a member of and I attend their forums and meetings every year,” he shares. (In fact, they flew to Davos just days after the HELLO! interaction).
