    About Varun's appearance on the show

    Varun Turlapati, Investor at Chaanakya Capital, joined The Med Device Cyber Podcast to share field-tested perspective with our audience of medical device security engineers, regulatory leads, quality teams, and MedTech founders. Every guest we book has either personally led an FDA cybersecurity submission, shipped a connected device into clinical use, or worked the disclosure and remediation side of a real-world vulnerability - we don't run vendor pitches or keynote-style overviews.

    The Med Device Cyber Podcast is produced by Blue Goat Cyber, a specialist medical device cybersecurity firm whose hosts have walked submissions through FDA, ISO 14971 risk management, IEC 62304 software lifecycle expectations, and SBOM hygiene under the Refuse-to-Accept policy. The show exists so the lessons learned by people doing this work daily - guests like Varun - reach the next team that has to figure it out for the first time. If you're researching Varun Turlapati for a hiring decision, an advisory call, or to invite them onto your own programme, the episodes below are the most current public record of how they think about the problem.
