So good to see legacy being handed over in the right hands. All the best Claire 👍

[Sann @san_x_m]

Her name is Claire Mazumdar.

She is 37 years old. Her parents are both computer science professors in the United States. Her brother Eric is a professor at the California Institute of Technology and an AI expert.

She holds a degree in Biological Engineering from MIT and both an MBA and a PhD in cancer biology from Stanford.

She founded Bicara Therapeutics in 2018. A clinical stage cancer therapy company focused on bi specific antibodies. She led it to a Nasdaq listing in 2024. She also sits on the boards of Relay Therapeutics and Noora Health.

She is the niece of Kiran Mazumdar Shaw. The woman who founded Biocon in 1978 in a garage in Bengaluru with Rs 10000 and built it into India’s largest biotechnology company over four decades.

Kiran Mazumdar Shaw has no children.

Today she named Claire as her successor to lead Biocon into its next phase.

Kiran said I am the sole owner of Biocon and I need to make sure that I put it in good hands. I have seen my niece Claire as my successor because I think she has proved to me that she can run a company.

Biocon was built by one woman over four decades. It will now be led by another.

#pahalgamattack
कैसे कोई ज़िन्दगी मिटा सकता हैं किसीकी
कैसे किसी के कहने पर कोई जान ले सकता है किसीकी
जिसे कहते है मज़ब महज़ एक इत्तेफ़ाक़ हैं 
अपनों के खोने का दर्द तो एक ही सा है
It’s time we take a hard stance against #Pakistan
