Tarun Rayan, a PhD student from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is making waves online. He’s currently studying biotechnology at SRM University and recently went viral, thanks to a video by American vlogger Christopher Lewis.
While ordering Chicken 65 from Tarun’s stall, Lewis struck up a conversation and discovered that Tarun wasn’t just a food vendor but also a dedicated PhD student. Tarun even suggested Lewis search for his research articles online.
“If you Google my name, you’ll find my research articles,” he mentioned.
