Ep 293. Refrigeration Reinvented: Powering The Future Of Cold Chain

[June 18, 2025] Refrigeration Reinvented: Powering The Future Of Cold Chain. Gurus, what if the way we transport life-saving medications like insulin or biologics didn’t depend on ice packs, bulky compressors, or outdated infrastructure?

What if you could carry a high-performance cold chain system in your backpack—and it held temperature for over 100 hours on a single charge?

Meet Faizan Ahmed, CEO of Invensify, the visionary behind Insurg, a solid-state refrigeration technology set to transform not only pharmaceutical logistics—but potentially electric vehicles, outdoor gear, and even chip cooling systems.

Inspired by a personal mission to help his father safely travel with insulin, Faizan has gone deep into the science of thermoelectric cooling, building a lightweight, battery-efficient system from the ground up—earning over 50 patents in the process.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why solid-state cooling is the future of cold chain logistics

• How deep tech meets real-world usability

• The balance between innovation and commercialization

• And why IP protection is crucial in a globalized, AI-powered world

If you’re curious about how startups can disrupt entrenched industries—and do it with purpose—you won’t want to miss this episode.
