The idea of growing meat in a lab is not new as it existed for more than 20 years but no one was ever close to making meat as tasty and as affordable as the conventional meat.

Valeti thought that if he continues as a cardiologist, maybe he would save 2,000 or 3,000 lives over the next 30 years but if he focuses on this, he has the potential to save billions of human lives and trillions of animal lives. He now has a team of 10 and has now become successful in cultivating and harvesting edible beef, chicken, and duck in its bioreactors which is also a feat that no one else has achieved. Veleti also aims to expand his team soon as the company expects to have a product in stores by 2021.
