Sustainable materials · Grown composites

Growing the materials of tomorrow

We grow mycelium and carbon composites to replace materials that cost too much in emissions, water and waste. Designed, developed and made in Bharat.

Who we are

Biology on one side, materials engineering on the other. We work in between, growing alternatives to what industry has spent a century digging out of the ground.

The composite materials platform

One organism, tuned into distinct industrial products

One growth process, reinforced with carbon. The feedstock is agricultural waste, the process runs cool, and the finished material is built to beat what it replaces.

01

Grow

Mycelium cultivated on agricultural residue.

02

Reinforce

Carbon loading for strength and fire resistance.

03

Form

Moulded, pressed and finished to spec.

04

Deploy

Fashion, packaging, logistics and construction.

Sustainable product portfolio

Grown, not extracted

Five lines out of one platform. Leather, packaging, pallets, panels and raw feedstock.

Fashion · Automotive

Bio-leather

Leather without the herd or the chrome. For fashion, footwear and car interiors.

Packaging

Bio-packaging

Protective packaging grown to shape. Replaces expanded polystyrene and composts at end of life.

Logistics

Fire-resistant pallets

Load-rated pallets that resist fire instead of feeding it.

Construction

Construction materials

Insulation panels and acoustic boards for low-carbon building envelopes.

Industrial supply

Composite feedstock

Engineered mycelium and carbon blends, supplied to partners who do their own forming.

Why it matters

Chrome-tanned leather. Expanded polystyrene. Treated timber and chemically bonded panels. The materials we replace are expensive in emissions, water and waste, and most of them cannot be recycled at all.

01Agricultural residue as feedstock, not petrochemicals
02A growth process that runs at low temperature and modest energy
03Compostable or recoverable at end of life
04Performance that matches or beats the incumbent on fire, load and durability
05Shorter supply chains, closer to where the material is used
Made in Bharat

R&D in Hyderabad

Biology labs, materials characterisation and pilot production sit under one roof in Hyderabad. A formulation can go from petri dish to pilot line without leaving the building.

01Mycelium cultivation and composite pilot lines
02Carbon processing and composite characterisation
03Formulation development and mechanical testing
04Product testing to industrial and safety standards
05Partnerships with Indian institutes and industry
The road ahead
Near term

Scale the bio-packaging and bio-leather pilot lines. Qualify pallets with logistics partners.

Mid term

Construction materials into commercial production, and feedstock supplied at industrial volume.

Long term

Volume manufacturing across the whole portfolio, on supply chains that stay close to home and still serve export markets.

We grow what industry has spent a century digging up, and we build it to outperform the thing it replaces.
