The number of inspiring stories about trips to India from USA is not negligible.<\/strong> Trips to India have been epiphanies motivating the few Indian American youngsters to do something worthwhile for the community welfare. 12-year-old Indian American Naisha Bellam\u2019s trips to Hyderabad<\/span><\/a> exposed the grim picture of rural schools in her father\u2019s hometown and motivated her to set up mini libraries for needy students\u2019 seamless access to quality books at those schools.<\/p>\n Another remarkable story about trips to India from USA is that of four Indian American high school students from California<\/span><\/a>, who have founded a biotech company, ReAlign Therapeutics in order to combat allergies.<\/strong> Arjun Gutta, Vasco Singh, Sam Kadaba and Akhil Gutta are the founding fathers of ReAlign Therapeutics in Newbury Park, Ventura County, CA. They shot to fame with the online sale of their first product, a probiotic supplement for fighting allergies.<\/p>\n Designed to make the body repel harmful bacteria and boost the immune system to treat allergies, the product is the first steppingstone for the four Indian American high school students to achieve something bigger and greater.<\/p>\n In addition to long hours of research and development behind the inception of ReAlign Therapeutics, lots of motivation has gone into the making of the first solution to combating allergies.<\/strong> Interestingly, the source of motivation was a trip to India. Vasco Singh, one of the cofounders was down with stomach flu on return from a family trip to India. Eventually, it made him prone to suffer from several allergies. When Vasco Singh did not respond to treatment with antibiotics, he was given probiotics which proved effective on him.<\/p>\n Indian American Vasco Singh\u2019s successful treatment with probiotics for allergies urged him to explore the science behind it.<\/strong> Thus, ReAlign Therapeutics came into being in collaboration with his fellow school mates and childhood friends. But, their entrepreneurial journey encountered many hiccups initially. Being no legal adults, they were not allowed to own and run a business, particularly in the medical health segment. They are not legally old enough to apply for trademarks or have business credit cards.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
