The problem

India’s demand for dairy protein is growing faster than milk supply, and prices swing every season.

What they’re building

Animal-free whey and casein that behave like milk proteins, sold to food brands as ingredients.

Milestones

  1. FSSAI novel food filing
  2. 1,000-litre pilot
  3. Lab-scale whey protein

Customers

2 national sweet brands (pilot)
