In this special crossover episode of The Future Mogul × The Lab Chat, Dhiya Raja and Hima come together to explore the growing intersection of science and entrepreneurship and why it’s defining the innovations shaping our future. From biotech breakthroughs and AI to clean energy and student-led startups, the conversation breaks down the false divide between labs and boardrooms.
Through candid discussion and a playful idea-to-startup challenge, they unpack how curiosity turns into real-world impact, why interdisciplinary thinking is no longer optional, and how some of the most transformative companies are built by people who deeply understand science. The episode also speaks directly to students, addressing self-doubt, fear of failure, and the myth that you need permission, age, or credentials to start building.
This is a conversation about courage, curiosity, and crossing lanes – a reminder that science gives you the power, and entrepreneurship teaches you how to use it.
