INDIA’S
BIOECONOMY
A Decade of Dazzling Growth
and Unstoppable Momentum

India’s bioeconomy has witnessed

a phenomenal rise over the past
decade, transforming from a
fledgling sector to a powerhouse
contributing significantly to the
nation’s economic growth. In
2003, India’s bioeconomy stood
at a modest $2 billion. The initial
phase witnessed steady growth,
reaching $5 billion by 2008, with
the bioeconomy tripling to $11 billion
by 2013. This period marked the
beginning of a remarkable upsurge.
From 2013 to 2018, the bioeconomy
experienced an exponential surge,
reaching a staggering $55 billion
– a phenomenal 400% growth. The
momentum continued between 2018
and 2023, with the bioeconomy
reaching a colossal $151 billion,
reflecting a robust 174% growth. This
translates to a staggering 13.7-fold
increase since 2013.

and anti-aging in humans.

C
osmos Bio Pvt. Ltd. is an industrial biotech startup, manu-
facturing specialty chemicals for skin protection. Incubated
at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP),
Bangalore, it currently produces two biologically active ingredi-
ents, ectoine and hyaluronic acid. Cosmos Bio uses recombinant
DNA technology for both upstream and downstream bioprocessing.
These molecules serve as key ingredients for skin protection and
anti-aging in humans. With a team comprising of protein chemists,
scientists and industry experts, Cosmos Bio aims to become a lead-
er in skin protection chemicals space.

To produce these biological ingredients for the first time in India,

the startup has been well recognized and awarded several presti-
gious government grants, including BIRAC – Biotechnology Igni-
tion Grant (BIG), and the Karnataka ELEVATE grant. Additionally,
Cosmos Bio has received many awards, including the ‘Startup of
the Year Beyond Bengaluru’ award at the Bengaluru Tech Summit
2023 from the Department of IT and BT, Government of Karnataka.

Currently, the startup is in the process of quality analysis and ob-

taining commercial licenses. The industrial-grade recombinant ec-
toine and hyaluronic acid will be available for the Indian and inter-
national markets by the end of 2024.

Policy Measures Fueling the Bioengine

The government’s proactive policy interventions have played a
pivotal role in propelling this growth. Key measures include:
• Biofuel Policy: Introduction of biofuel policies promoting 10% and
20% blending of ethanol with petrol.
• Startup Support: BIRAC’s support for over 3,000 startups and
government-backed development of over 750 products.
• Product Linked Incentives: Schemes incentivizing the production
of pharmaceutical products within India.
• Regulatory Advancements: Formulation of globally acclaimed
Biosimilar guidelines and gene editing guidelines.
• Mission-Oriented Approach: Launching of the National BioPharma
Mission for indigenous vaccine development and the National
Medical Devices Policy 2023.
• Strategic Vision: Unveiling the National Biotechnology
Development Strategy 2020-2025, aiming for India’s recognition as
a Global Biomanufacturing Hub by 2025.

Explosive Startup Surge

A Breeding Ground for Innovation
India’s bioeconomy is not just about large-
scale figures; it’s also about fostering a
vibrant startup ecosystem. The number of
biotech startups has witnessed an 18-fold
increase from 2013 to 2023, reflecting

icine company that uses the foundational and translational princi-
ples of biology and engineering to design novel class therapeutic
products. Pandorum has R&D labs and clinical study centres in the US (Pan-

have developed a technology platform for the production of exosomes with
tuneable cargos from clinical-grade human Mesenchymal Stem Cells, with
enhanced anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, anti/pro-angiogenic, and neuro-
genic properties-in order to promote regeneration of different tissues such
as, cornea (avascular), and brain, liver and lung (vascular).

Our flagship product Kuragenx - the ‘Liquid’ Cornea, integrates exosomes

carrying specialized cargos, aided by cornea-mimetic biopolymers for sus-
tained release, facilitating corneal tissue regeneration and vision resto-
ration. Studies in New Zealand rabbits, Neurotrophic Keratitis model, have
demonstrated restoration of healthy cornea with re-epithelialization, neu-
ronal plexus and stromal remodelling within three months post-treatment,
paving the way to treat patients suffering from unmet clinical needs. Ku-
ragenx has been assigned by USFDA to the Office of Tissues and Advanced
Therapies, and our First in Human clinical study is planned in 2025, to
treat advanced keratitis - a severe indication with unmet medical needs.
Kuragenx was also recently awarded orphan drug designation.
