With accolades such as ‘Riveting … a must-read,’ ‘Brilliantly written … timely,’ and ‘An inspiring story,’ “The Ventilator Project” emerges as a powerful testament to human resilience and innovation in the face of a global crisis. Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing nationwide lockdown in India, the book unfolds a compelling narrative of a dire shortage of life-saving equipment and the extraordinary response it triggered.
