His father was a horse breeder, his first serum was made from horse plasma
The horses were donated from his father's stud farm (after the racing career is over)
According to Poonawalla, his biggest obstacle (or headwind) is the Indian Government and its bureaucracy. He fought with them for more than 20 years to no avail.
Eventually, it was accreditation by WHO that led to huge demand of his vaccines overseas that created the huge global success of Serum Institute of India
