Gadhadar Reddy is the Founder and CEO of NoPo Nanotechnologies, a company that develops advanced materials called single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). SWCNTs are incredibly small yet one of the strongest materials known, with properties such as high conductivity and rapid heat and electron transfer. They have applications in electric vehicle battery technology and advanced electronics. Reddy’s company is one of the few to have developed technology to produce SWCNTs with small diameters and high precision. Reddy’s path to entrepreneurship began when he realized the state-of-the-art in nanotechnology was insufficient, leading him to start working on it himself. He encourages students to consider a career in material science and nanomaterials, which requires a deep understanding of multiple fields and a creative problem-solving approach. Reddy believes that emerging technologies like SWCNTs can solve global problems and is excited to be part of this field from India.
Exploring the vast possibilities of nanoscale innovation is exhilarating.
