Mint Chennai|December 31, 2024
India's bioeconomy has witnessed phenomenal growth, surging from US$10 billion in 2014 to over US$130 billion in 2024.
Subramani Ramachandrappa, co-founder, Fermbox Bio, in conversation with Nithish Kumar, investment analyst at Speciale Invest

With a vision to accelerate technological development and commercialisation, the government's initiatives—such as creating biomanufacturing hubs and biofoundries—are setting the stage for a thriving biotech ecosystem.

This decade of innovation has also fuelled the rise of biotech startups in India, expanding from just 50 startups in 2014 to over 9,000 startups in 2024, making India a key contributor to the global bioeconomy.

To highlight these innovations, NewsReach has launched a special edition called Crafting Bharat: Deep-tech, powered by Innovation Venture Studio in association with Speciale Invest, BYT Avenue, and Faad Capital, that brings you inspiring stories of visionaries shaping India's biotech landscape.

In this episode, join Nithish Kumar, investment analyst at Speciale Invest and Subramani Ramachandrappa, co-founder of Fermbox Bio, as they dive into the complexities of the biotech sector.

But precision fermentation takes this age-old method to a whole new level. It's about control and specificity.
