Arun Prabhu needs to take a long-term approach to launch and advance Lancent’s mission: tackling poverty-related diseases through affordable innovations. 'For the past fifteen years, we've operated as a research and development firm,' Arun explains. 'Now, we're close to market entry and preparing to deliver our products to the vulnerable communities in malaria-endemic countries. That's where the rubber meets the road.'
During our first podcast with Arun in June 2023, he recounted how he and his current business partner created their first malaria net at his home in 2010. Since our conversation, a year and a half has passed, and his team and office have doubled in size. Arun reflects on how he has witnessed God’s faithfulness in bringing the right team members and business partners on board.
Beyond the passionate team who has extensive experience in the industry, he connected with partners like Wim Hasselman of MissionInvest who connected him with investors. 'I can't do it alone,' shares Arun, 'As we grow, I've learned that it's not just about the 'how' we do things, but also about 'with whom.'
