Longevity India Bytes: In Conversation with Dr. Alexander Thomas

In this first Longevity Bytes conversation, we speak with Dr. Alexander Thomas, Patron - AHPI, ANBAI & CAHO, and Advisor - Longevity India. Dr. Thomas reflects on why India can become one of the world’s most important longevity labs, and what is currently holding us back. In conversation with Prof. Deepak Saini, he discusses fragmentation across the ecosystem, funding gaps, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, and why aging research in India is not a luxury, but a social and economic necessity. Longevity Bytes captures ideas, bottlenecks, and priorities that matter as India builds its longevity science ecosystem. 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations!

Aging is something we all experience — in our families, our parents, and ourselves. We often talk about it, but we rarely record it. At Longevity India, we’re trying to change that. Through a few simple questions, we’re trying to capture what aging looks like in Indian homes: our diets, health habits, and everyday lives.
