Joe Landolina is the CEO & Co-founder of Suneris and is the inventor of VETI-GEL, a revolutionary gel that even without the application of pressure can stop bleeding in 10 seconds. Landolina has also been made a 2014 TED Global Fellow which landed him in Mumbai for TedxGateway 2014 where in an exclusive interview with Krishna Bahirwani he talks about his journey.

What was the need that you saw in the medical business that opened up a possibility for what you have created?
In the medical industry, it is currently very difficult to stop traumatic bleeding. The best solutions of today can barely manage to stop a bleed in less than five minutes. We wanted to not only make a product that could stop bleeding instantly, but also work with the body to help the healing process.

What has been the most difficult aspects of your journey so far ? How did you push through them?
The most difficult aspect has been turning our technology into a product that can be on the shelf and used by a consumer. We have worked very hard and actually built our own manufacturing plant in Brooklyn NY to commercialize our gel.

What is VETI-GEL? What inspired you to create it?
VETIGEL is a plant-derived gel designed to stop traumatic bleeds in less than 10 seconds. Seeing the lack of products to quickly stop bleeding, I was pushed to create something that would work better.

Would you say it was your education or your curiosity that played a bigger role in your success?
While one needs education as a foundation for the creation of medical products, I would say that without curiosity I would not have been able to do any of this.

What else are you currently working on or will be working on in the future?
We currently have about a dozen employees in New York working on taking our base technology and expanding it into a line of wound care products.
