There are some eye diseases that don’t have any cure today, and others where a single injection can cost ₹2 crore, says Jogin Desai, co-founder of Eyestem.
He and his co-founder Rajani Battu got talking about how to use the current tools available and create therapies that cost, say $10,000 a shot, instead. Thus, was born Eyestem. The idea is to make cell and gene therapy accessible to many more people.
