TL;DR Current food production systems are highly inefficient, both in terms of energy and productivity, and have an adverse impact on our environment. Using advanced techniques in genetic engineering, systems biology and precision fermentation, synthetic biology is being used to study and modify the pathways or develop new microbial cell…

A monthly round-up on the deep science tech ecosystem in India A peek into the future-Generative AI in biology, organic crystals and much more! Deep science funding updates Advanced battery solutions company Log9 Materials raised over $40 million as part of its Series B to expand manufacturing and R&D efforts. …

TL;DR The problem is not so much about a lack of food production than it is about a lack of efficiency in agri-food systems across the board. Using advanced techniques in genetic engineering, systems biology and bioengineering, synthetic biology is creating advanced microbial and genetic solutions to improve nutrient-use efficiencies…

The Bio-Revolution in India is here and we are backing MyoWorks and D-NOME to drive the change! We are in the third decade of the 21st century and the earth is feeling the heat, quite literally. Global temperatures are rising, causing irreversible losses to the environment. Pandemics are causing massive…

The second largest workforce in India, second only to agriculture, is in the construction industry. Over 50 million workers build our homes, offices, schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, railways, airports and more. This industry, valued at $190 billion, is at the foundation of India’s development story as a global economic powerhouse. …

Over 500 million smallholder farmers face catastrophic risks, including drought, floods and hurricanes, while producing 80% of the food we consume. Climate change is only exacerbating these risks, and farmers are bearing the brunt of it. Billions of dollars are lost to crop loss and damage each year with farmers…

TL;DR Synthetic biology is the engineering of natural biologic systems such as bacteria, yeasts and fungi, plants and animals to produce the desired products. Business models in the synthetic biology market have evolved, leading to drop in the cost of DNA synthesis and faster product development cycles. Investors are bullish…

India has over 10 million aspiring athletes under the age of 19 playing across 100K semi-professional tournaments annually. But, most of these athletes do not have access to the right networks and audience to showcase their talent. For example, athletes outside of major cities have little scope in getting noticed…

Global temperatures are reaching unprecedented highs. Our natural systems must contend with novel conditions that change more quickly than their pace of adaptation — but the reality is that they’re not keeping up. Global food supplies are in decline as droughts and floods impact agricultural output. Productivity of even our…
