Why Is It So Difficult to Trust Medicine? | Ft.Zalak Patel

How do you build trust in something as important—and personal—as medicine? In this episode of Zero Point Five, Zalak Patel shares her perspective on the gaps she discovered in the healthcare ecosystem and what inspired her to explore solutions of her own. One of the key gaps she noticed was striking: medicines made in India are often exported, while access and awareness around them can still be challenging within the country. But identifying a problem is only the beginning. Zalak believes that most problems can be solved—if you're willing to understand them deeply, take calculated risks, and build thoughtfully. The conversation also explores a question that affects everyone: how do you trust a medicine when you don't always know enough about where it comes from, how it works, or whether it's right for you? For Zalak, entrepreneurship is about approaching these gaps with curiosity rather than fear—and taking calculated risks to create meaningful solutions.
