Unreasonable Fellows

Sasikanth C

Co-Founder & CEO at DE3PBIO

I'm an Hons. engineer by degree (from BITS Pilani), a business mind honed at London Business School, the Indian School of Business and Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and an entrepreneur by lifelong obsession.
For the past two decades, I’ve built tech-driven ventures at the intersection of food and edutainment, while loving and living the mantra: Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish. Literally.
I’m a proud foodie who cooks, a philosopher & problem solver, and a minimalist with an ambitious plan to better myself every day and to leave the world brighter than I found it.
At DE3PBIO, our story began in 2018 - sparked not in a lab or boardroom, but by a 5-year-old niece whose curiosity ignited a mission: to fix what’s broken in our bodies and our planet. My wife and i took that spark, went minimalist living out of suitcases, and embarked on a 7yr, 50,000 km odyssey (so far) across 8 countries, chasing clean ingredients, scalable technologies and a bold new vision.
Since then, we've prototyped, piloted, proven, and partnered. Today, we are supported by the United Nations, World Food Org, Clean Tech Group USA, BMW Foundation Germany, Falling Walls Germany, Startup Chile, and Puerto Rico Science & Tech Trust, etc - and we’re just getting started.
We’re on a mission to bring next-gen, science-backed AFIs (Active Functional Ingredients) into everyday consumer products, and to build a future where health, sustainability & science dance together.
