Virosil (Virosil Pharma)

What Virosil (Virosil Pharma) does

Virosil is the consumer-facing brand of Sanosil Biotech Pvt. Ltd., a Mumbai-based private Indian company that manufactures and sells a portfolio of eco-friendly disinfectants and fumigants built on a patented Swiss-originated formulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stabilized with silver ions. The product line is organized into four vertical-specific sub-brands: Virosil Pharma (sterile pharmaceutical and healthcare disinfection, including aerial fumigation, surface, instrument, CIP, AHU, and storage tank applications), Virosil F&B (food and beverage processing disinfection), Virosil Agro (post-harvest treatment for fruits and vegetables, claiming over 50% shelf-life extension), and Virosil Floracare (cut flower and horticulture preservation). The company holds regulatory approvals from US FDA, German Society of Hygiene and Microbiology, FDA Maharashtra State, the Swiss Public Health Department, and healthcare authorities in Western Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. The underlying chemistry is delivered as concentrated solutions applied with ULV fogging technology, positioning Virosil as a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, chlorine-free alternative to formaldehyde and chlorine-based disinfectants, with a claimed 60-minute complete sterility cycle versus 24-hour formalin fumigation. The company was founded and is led by CEO Dev Gupta, and manufactures in India under technical collaboration with Sanosil AG of Switzerland.

Virosil operates a B2B enterprise go-to-market, selling directly to pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, and food and beverage processors, and engaging the market through industry trade shows (CPI & PMEC India, Pharma Live Expo) and trade publication coverage. Named enterprise customers include Pfizer, Sun Pharma, Dr. Reddy's, Cipla, Lupin, Serum Institute of India, Biocon, Wockhardt, Aurobindo, Johnson & Johnson, Mapro's, MTR Foods, Monginis, Sula Vineyards, Parle Bisleri, Schreiber Dynamix Dairies, and Yakult Dairy, spanning pharmaceutical, healthcare, and F&B segments. Revenue mechanics are unit-based: products are sold as concentrates with application-specific dilution guidance (20% for aerial fumigation, 5-10% for storage tanks, 1-3% for resin and filter disinfection, 100 ppm for water), producing a consumable replenishment model rather than licensed or subscription revenue. Distribution is primarily domestic direct sales from the Mumbai office, with international distribution referenced across Western Europe, Australia, and the Middle East through regulatory approvals and partnerships.
