In this episode, we have with us Sagar Joshi, who worked as a product designer with Godrej company for a few years before moving forward to work as an Asst. prof. in product design at MIT ID Pune. He joins us to speak about the various possibilities of innovation and design in Ayurveda that can help improve its reach and applicability today. He is also pursuing his Ph.D. in product design and Ayurveda. With this episode, we try to indulge in how other fields of science, technology, and art can work along with Ayurveda in order to improve its reach. It also helps us understand the various challenges associated with it.

In this episode, we have moved forward with the discussion on the importance of the Sanskrit language in the understanding of Ayurveda. I have with me Dr Nischal Parthasarathy, a learned scholar of Ayurveda and Sanskrit with me talking about the relevance of Sanskrit to Ayurveda and its seekers. With this discussion, we hope to bring people close to Ayurveda with the help of Sanskrit rather than driving them away.

The first episode of the Curious Vaidya podcast is an initiative to enter into the world of Ayurveda through the lens of Sanskrit, which is the language of Ayurveda. In this episode, Dr. Savita Shenoy and I have discussed the importance of Sanskrit to understand Ayurveda and the various challenges that come with it. We have also discussed some ways to improve our understanding of the language which may enable us to understand the science better. Hope you enjoy the discussion.
