Listen "Ep.5 Viraj Agnihotri - Bioengineering, medtech, building a deeptech startup & commercialising Australian research"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Futureneering Podcast, I am joined by Viraj Agnihotri. Viraj studied bioengineering in India before moving to Australia to complete a Master's in Innovation Management and Mechatronics Engineering at The University of Queensland. While studying at UQ, Viraj decided to start his own startup company, Augmented Bionics, which aimed to solve hearing problems and hearing loss with a non-invasive bionic ear innovation. Viraj successfuly raised capital, submitted patents and developed initial prototypes and concepts, but ultimately had to shut down the company. Now he works as a Commercialisation Manager at Australian National University (ANU), where he helps turn promising research into useful products and companies that can positively impact the world.
