Personal life
Technology development
Shetty spent most of his childhood in a bus-coach manufacturing plant run by his grandfather and developed a profound love for building technology. Following his graduation, he pursued his love for thermodynamics by tutoring undergraduate students in refrigeration and heat engines. This laid the path for his work in medical-refrigeration and subsequently, the efforts to deliver vaccines to rural and remote communities.[8] [9]
Advocacy
Mayur Shetty has been a strong voice in the healthcare supply chain community for the need to shift away from rudimentary technologies such as using frozen ice/gel-packs for passive cooling. He participates in seminars and conferences to build awareness among healthcare professionals to seek accountability in cold chains and seek newer technologies that improve process efficiency.
He also mentors startups, advises students on technology creation and works closely with his alma mater MAHE where he is a member of the Internal Quality Assurance Cell.
Personal Views
Shetty grew up in a family of traditional Hindu background but has proclaimed to be a strident atheist. He is a subscriber to evolutionary biology and a believer in Robert Sapolsky’s arguments that human actions are determined by neurobiology, hormones, childhood and life circumstances. He is a wildlife conservation enthusiast and spends his weekends exploring the sea.
