A scientist can also be a good Storyteller.
Visionary people are good storyteller, be it scientists or a tea seller.👍

A scientist is a rebel of highest order and for that reason I have greatest respect for them
Very true.
I want to thank NPTEL for sharing their content for learning lots of stuff from IISc Banglore
Man, couldn't thank enough. Helped me a lot for all my semester. Amazing stuff.

Please give us more podcasts like this. I want to understand more of indian scientific community
India's reputation as a center of scientific excellence owes much to the foresight of Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, who served as Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University. With the generous support of philanthropists Rashbehari Ghosh and Tarakhnath Palit, the prestigious University College of Science & Technology (UCSTA) was established in 1914. This landmark institution attracted some of India's brightest scientific minds, including luminaries such as CV Raman, JC Ghosh, Satyendranath Bose, Meghnad Saha, Prafulla Chandra Ray, PC Mahalanobis, Debendra Mohan Bose, Gansh Prasad among others who played a pivotal role in putting India on the global map of scientific and technological achievement.
Very interesting episode. I am an alumnus of IISc , B.E (Electrical Technology and Electronics) in 1984.
Abhijit Sir and Prof. Gautam Desiraju Sir should write Hindu Constitution for upcoming Hindu Rashtra ❤
They are intelligent people and kattar Hindu like all of us🚩 Jai Shri Ram Jai Shri Krishna
Along with people with Jai sai Deepak.
🤣 bas kar Bhai. India already is a hindu rastra. We don't need a theocratic state
Hindu Rashtra is a myth and it should remain as a dream only .
Kattar people of any religion are toxic as hell
You are wrong, they aren't kattar hindu.
not cattar hi is logical
What a note to end "Just you are old it doesn't mean you are gold".. great podcast sir
I've been to this campus a few times. It's like a little peaceful green world right in the center of chaos. Such campuses help the mind to think beyond the ordinary. Thanks for showing us around
India totally needs many many more podcasts from Shri AC, live or recorded, just like this one! A very positive and welcome initiative! And like Dr. Desiraju said, may this new in-person format go on to cover other areas too! The most brilliant, most honest and also the sweetest new podcast anyone can see today!
Why China developed just in 70 years times after independence in 1949???? It took USA 200 years to develop after USA got independence in 1776 but China did it just in 70 years times...
There was no proper Marxism ideology communism/socialism in USSR during 1960-1990 so USSR collapsed. USSR was going back to feudalism after 1980 so it collapsed. China was following communism perfectly during cultural revolution(1966-1976) so China did not collapse. Mao improved education system and educated all Chinese children since 1950 to 1970 and controlled corruption totally so China made progress very fast. Western nations and intellectuals already declared that China will be economic superpower after 60 years times and it proved right. So American spy agency CIA and Nixon Administration decided to invest in China to establish so called Western Democracy in China but failed..."Western democracy" means feudalism and exploitation and it would have collapsed China totally like USSR and made China a failed and poor nation.., But Chinese leaders were very wise, intellectuals so they never establish so called Western Democracy in China and China surpassed USA, Japan and Europe in infrastructure development now....
He’s the man who knows how to conduct himself around respectful people
one of the two brilliant minds interacting together, i mean what more could we ask for!

Mr Chavda is a great host. He listens carefully to the speaker when he is speaking, not interrupting at all. Many people i see interrupt the speaker again and again. No doubts about mighty IISc. IISc is a promising land.
He's a wonderful host. Speakers don't like interruptions when they're in full flow.
A real treat for a INDIAN Physics graduate student in USA, wanting to deliver back to India. Thank you. Waiting for many more like these.
🎉 great
ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ ಸಂದರ್ಶನ ಅಭಿಜಿತ ಅವರೆ
ಜೈ ಹಿಂದ್
I am a Bangalorean since birth and a Big Thanks to you Abhijit and Dr.Desiraju (and anyone who has been involved) in bringing this to the world. Loved this and delighted to get a tour of one of our Crown Jewels, Heritage and the Mahans involved in this project. The Council room tour and the conversation there was loaded. Btw since this is a LiVE one I guess there could have not been a better place to start.
Many thanks to Abhijit sir for bringing Prof. Desi Raju who is not afraid to point out Babu giri in academia and Indian society as a whole.
"Morning vada coffee and dreaming about evening pakoda coffee. "
Profs are under worked but manage to keep themselves busy.Many behave like bureaucrats ,no quality teaching hours with students but guy is incharge of hostels, member of that, head of this, conducting seminars that really suck. Emphasis is on papers playing the game to climb up in the hierarchy of promotions. Because all these activities give u points.
abhijit chavda sir put so much efforts in everything he does,It is inspiring.
I started preparing for gate exams recently and aim to get admission in this prestigious institute for PG in CSE, i follow AC for his vast knowledge of history and Geopolitics. Wish me luck and hope I will be able to crack gate with under 50 rank to get into this research institute. Radhe Radhe.
All the best
How old are you?
@@grimsobad8545 20 yrs old
@@satyamm009 which year are doing in your undergraduate program? I heard you atleast in the 3rd year to give the exam
@@grimsobad8545 I'm in 6th sem right now, I gave gate exam on 4th feb this year without preparation I m confident I will crack the cutoff atleat, I m targeting next years gate exam
It's really mind blowing for a 9th standard student for seeing this that we have a great institute like Harvard and Cambridge
IISc... A great place to be here....
Something needs to be done really with Indians science 🇮🇳🚀
Yes brother
Wonderful interview ! I consider IISc as a shining star in a rather gloomy Indian educational firmament. Wish I had been an alumnus of this great institution !
Professor Desiraj and Abhijit Chavda ❤
These kind of honest people should be education minister.
I walked around the central office building but never entered the building! I was a student in late 60s. Life of research academics is closer to a sanyasi.
Jai Hindu Rashtra
Jai Akhand Bharat
What a wonderful experience this was. Thanks to Abhijit Sir for getting us so close to a Great mind Like DR. Desiraju. You showed us a HERO that should be celebrated like wise. Thankyou Abhijit Sir for this. Best wishes to you.
Wow…i never knew this much history of this prestigious institute, being here myself as a student. Thank you for making this podcast!!
Gautam Desiraju a real role model.
Challenge ahead for Indian science greatly comprehended by Sir Gautam Desiraju
Just no words I have to express my awe.. It was too amazing watching two of great personalities together
Wonderful, I enjoyed it very much. I have the highest regard for Prof. Desiraju, both as a scientist and as a public intellectual. We need Abhijit to have more such conversations with men and women of such high caliber and integrity. At the same time, I regret a bit that the great professor did not mention the name of Satish Dhawan, possibly the finest Director that the Institute had and one of the finest minds that India produced. Dhawan was not an ordinary person, he was a force of nature. He went on to become the Director of ISRO and set it on a path to its current glory. I once came across a book titled "bird flight," which came out of Dhawan's hobby of watching the nuances of the aerodynamics of bird flight - one doesn't have to look beyond that book to appreciate the genius of Dhawan. I get goosebumps whenever I come across the man's achievements. Men and women of such piercing intellect, steel will and strength of character is what India needs. There is no need for too many of them (and there aren't that many of them around anyway, they are a rare breed), just a handful of them can change the course of a country and history. In the context of Indian science and technology, a few others who belong in that category are Homi Bhabha, C.V.Raman, Visweswarayya, Vikram Sarabhai.
Thanks. I decided to stop mentioning names after say 1950. This is about history. And there simply wasn't going to be enough time.
And interestingly all the names u mentioned are from iisc
please do more live podcasts, it feels better than virtual podcasts
Inspiring. Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines.
Wonderful Abhijit and Dr. Desiraju 😊. I have learnt and felt like I was there with you. 😀
I am lucky to studied in IISc !!! :)
Great episode, a good gift to the viewers on Mahashivaratri(close enough). Mr Desiraju is the perfect representative for IISc.
Very very happy to see you sir in this form we need more content and knowledge of you in different forms ❤️
Prof. Desiraju is a member of advisory council here at UPES, Dehradun where I am currently working.
He is an inspiration to me.
🙏🏾
One thing i love about intelligent people is they are consistently experimental and challenge themselves to get better.
Really enjoyed the session sir.
I am really greatful to find you at a young age of 21 currently 22.
My thirst for knowledge has expanded so much more because of you SIR.
At least Someone in IISC is interested to motivate and entertain young Indians instead of running behind paper publishing and IEEE
😊😊😊
This is really inspiring for me and satisfying that others speak the same language
The Vizianagram maharaja 's family is still doing a lot of good work for education.Infact, 80% of their family wealth is used to provide education in north coastal AP, esp Vizianagram area.
Although you don’t vlog that much, this was one of the best and most informative ‘vlogs’ I’ve seen on UA-cam. Thanks to Prof. Desiraju
Sir like this plz do more podcast with other professor about science because Some one like me who is Going to start his bachelor in science it's inspiration and motivation because in competition to get in iisc I had started to forget about why I wanted to become a scientist I am very thankful for this podcast.
Dr Gautam desiraju and Abhijit chavda are inspiration ❤️🙏👏
Two gems together 🙏Great !
My favourite institute love you sir for showing us this one
I totally love this in-person walk-and-talk format. Would love to see many more of these ❤
Sir,i really love this new concept of meeting in person and taking podcast
This is gold 🪙. Please do more podcasts like these 🙏🙏
Good to see a scientist having a keen interest in history.
By the way great video learned a lot about the history of IISC Bangalore.
I completely agree the best way to discuss ideas by walking. This is how most of the discoveries and inventions are started.
amazing! pls do more of this stuff and more on this topic. also, several of your indian/world history related topics wud come out very nicely if done in this format.
I watch AC mostly for his many videos and talks for his vast knowledge. So happy people like him and young sanatanis are putting India on the world map. Thanks for this brilliant podcast from a prestigious sir DesRaju. Thanks for the uninterrupted talk that AC so humble.
Love this episode! Kudos to the camerawork for making this even more compelling to watch
What a channel, what a man AC is. You are a inspiration Sir for new generations.
Both of you are awesome, came across Dr. Desiraju Sir on Vaad for the first time, he is the kind of the prof India needs, 10000s like him.

It's refreshing to see something new !
Guruji you never fail to mesmerize us 🙏.
What did i just watched ... my god
This precious talk .. so much of knowledge and virtue to witness ..
Somehow i feel i got my hands full of something .. thank you Abhijit sir ..
A very nice midweek surprise sir, great place indeed in many ways. Thank you 👍
Two of the most inspirational people🙏🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed the walk the talk....Thank you Abijit Sir!
Prof is a delight to listen to. Sobering message about IISc performing below par.
Fantastic..very genuine and tells us a lot..amazing that it's your first on this channel. A success! Congratulations.
fascinating tour of the IISc and stories, never heard before. More such episodes required please.
Amazing venture Abhijit sir!....looking forward to more of such amazing and interesting content!....this is surely going to be a big hit!
Finally!! A much awaited offline podcast!!!!!
Watched it full length, what a knowledge filled podcast 💯🔥.. Well done sir..
Kudos to the cameraman. Amazing camerawork
This was such a virbant and eye opening video, this style of conversation is also amazing sir!
Interesting and amazing episode. Its a pleasure to see the format of the video.. giving a tour of the campus with the stories behind it. I wish in my first year at IISc someone would have given me such a tour..
I can see that Abhijit Chavda Ji has been receiving some hate on Twitter for his content featuring Dr. Desiraju. Just goes to show how the anti-Bharat forces are starting to panic. Funny thing is, some fairly new, month-old accounts are going hard at denigrating Chavda Ji's posts. Shows how weak they are. Don't be too surprised if they up the game and attempt some hit-pieces on Chavda Ji. Let us all continue our unrelenting support for Bharat's true heroes. Jai Ho, Chavda Ji. Jai Bharat! 💪🙏🕉
Wonderful live podcast. Simply wonderful. Worth time. Thanks.
Finally ...I always wanted some blogger or some new channel to introduce experienced scientist, new scientist ..bring the story or journey of this people to common man
Dr. Gautam Desiraju works in my field of co-crystals
Abhijit, you will be amazed by ಕೃಷ್ಣರಾಜೇಂದ್ರ ಒಡೆಯರ್ works, which was way ahead of time and pure dharmic way of ruling a state
Loved this new format
Amazing wonderful excellent waiting for more like this, THANK YOU SIR for this lovely podcast
Blessed to know this🙏
