What Nutrigene Biosciences does

Nutrigene Biosciences Private Limited is an India-based, privately-held bio-ingredient company founded in 2020 and headquartered at HITEC City, Hyderabad, Telangana. The company develops and supplies high-value natural ingredients and fermentation-based bio-ingredients — including specialty botanical extracts, algal omega fatty acids (EPA/DHA), CoQ10, and custom-synthesized phytochemical reference standards — to the nutraceutical, food, cosmeceutical, and biopharma industries. Its flagship commercial offering is Bakuchiol 99%, a vegan retinol alternative produced via a patent-pending green process that yields a crystal clear, colorless, odorless golden liquid with zero furocoumarin impurities (psoralen and angelicin), a specification the company asserts is unique globally.

The product portfolio spans five pillars: (1) Bakuchiol 99% for cosmeceutical anti-aging and skin-brightening formulations; (2) 35+ standardized herbal extracts including Bacopa monnieri, Curcuminoids, Ashwagandha, Mucuna, and Centella asiatica; (3) 60+ custom-synthesized phytochemical reference standards, with the company claiming sole global source status for most items including Withaferin A and its analogs; (4) algal omega fatty acids (EPA, DHA, and blends) and CoQ10 for nutraceutical formulations; and (5) a cosmeceutical sub-line of standardized skin-brightening and hair-care botanicals. Underlying technology rests on industrial-scale fermentation and botanical extraction, with fermentation molecules such as Vitamin B12 disclosed as a pipeline item for future commercialization. The company holds FDA Category 1 classification for Bakuchiol.

The business operates on a B2B, sales-led model with direct customer outreach via email, phone, and WhatsApp, quote-based pricing, and bulk ingredient supply to enterprise and mid-market customers. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of ingredient batches, supported by an integrated supply chain that includes certified organic farms for botanical sourcing. Distribution is direct with a stated global sales scope, though the only documented operating geography is India. No funding rounds, management team details, customer logos, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
