It's truly impressive what Sequoia and Viswanathan Santhanagopalan has achieved and I have no doubt great things awaits. It's mind blowing how things have advanced - from being an "independent" installing used systems to now developing cutting edge 128-slice technology and MRIs of own design. It’s not only remarkably bold; it embodies a story of genuine dedication, strong conviction, and a deep work ethic, reflecting the determination that is so deeply rooted in Indian culture. Congratulations my friend, I wish you great success! Still, as this is just a small pice of a much bigger puzzle, no roses without thorns. Being a dedicated globalist it worries me, that it's also a sign of a political trend towards a system increasingly based on a protectionist agenda, "made in India", MAGA, and the like. It always ends with tariffs, quotas, trade barriers. That's not development, it's the opposite. If we want a true democratization of modern diagnostics we need more companies reinventing our industry combined with LESS protectionism. We need less trade barriers, we need less locked systems and we first of all need the the right to repair.
