GRAND DESIGNS

摘要

In 1990, Akhilesh Pandey was a promising physician, having graduated from India's prestigious Armed Forces Medical College in Pune. But he convinced his parents to help pay the fee releasing him from his 20-year bond of service in the Indian armed forces. They had to sell their car to do so. Pandey had decided that basic research was his real passion, and his parents trusted his instincts. Twelve years later he would gamble again, in the hope of establishing an independent non-profit scientific institute in India, a rarity in the country.
