Young people underestimate the prospects and opportunities in India Every time when we swallow a tablet, we ignore the technique behind its making. A tablet is not made on a tablet press as commonly believed; instead it is made in the `granulation' process: a technique mastered by a native of Thirukkovilur.
Meet Dr Bindhumadhavan Gururajan, Senior Scientist, working to develop products at Anglo-Swedish drug company AstraZeneca's Research and Development centre at Leicestershire, UK. While today he is recognised as a renowned expert on granulation, for Dr Bindhu (as he is affectionately called), it was not easy to know that powdered sugar would be difficult to compress into a tablet and granulated sugar would be easy to compress!
