Our Core Section

OUR CORE

Innovation Leadership

We lead the veterinary field in animal disease control by pioneering innovative solutions grounded in the One Health approach. Through strategic collaborations with national and international partners, we work to prevent the transmission of zoonotic diseases and safeguard global health.

Research Excellence

Our research has been published in prestigious journals such as Science, The Lancet Microbe, Nature Scientific Reports, and Frontiers in Veterinary Science. These impactful studies are supported by leading funders, including the Department of Biotechnology (Government of India), India Health Fund, the Gates Foundation, and the NIH.

Award-Winning Solutions

Our patented products have received multiple prestigious accolades, including the Animal Husbandry Grand Challenge Award from Start-up India, the TB Quest Award from the India Health Fund (IHF), the National Bio-Entrepreneurship Award from BIRAC and C-CAMP, the Fish Tank Award from Start-up Tamil Nadu, and the Women Entrepreneur Award for excellence in animal biotech startup.

Market Success

We are proud partners in the Bovine and Zoonotic TB Network, funded by the Gates Foundation, driving innovation for effective implementation of bovine TB control programs. Our work also extends to pioneering advancements in animal breeding technologies to enhance fertility and productivity in dairy cow.
