Conversations with Anu Acharya — The Poetry Lover and Entrepreneur in the Field of Genetics
Originally published on YourStory.
At Conversations at YourStory, Anu Acharya chatted with one and all on her views on genetics, life, and entrepreneurship. Apart from discussing the industry, genetic science, and what MapmyGenome does, Anu was also open to talking about poetry, books, and IIT KGP.
The Love for Adventure Sport and Entrepreneurship
Anu’s second venture, MapmyGenome, was started in 2013. Her entrepreneurial journey had begun 17 years prior, in 2000, when she got back to Hyderabad from Chicago. She founded Ocimum Bio Solutions, which helps scientists do their research.
“My love for adventure sports probably explains my genetic affinity towards a high-risk sport like entrepreneurship. While no one pushed me off the cliff of jobs, my conscience probably nudged me. It has been a while and I love it in the entrepreneurship valley.” — Anu Acharya, Founder & CEO, MapmyGenome
