Suchitha Champak founded SciRio to bring science closer to society. She’s a trained Geneticist and Cancer Biologist, who founded SciRio a few years ago. This enterprise works with research-based organisations and companies to blend the principles of science communication into organic marketing that traverses traditional marketing outreach methods. After working at the Indian Institute of Science and Centre for Human Genetics, she left the lab's confines to make science accessible for all. She envisions a future where science and society co-evolve to empower everyone. She is a TEDx speaker, and news outlets like The Assam Tribune and BioPatrika have profiled her as a scientist-turned-entrepreneur. She also helped create proactive policies for science communication in the newest version of India's STI Policy.
