Bhubaneswar-based deeptech biotech startup Elmentos Research has won the Startup Mahakumbh Grand Challenge Award for 2025. Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal congratulated the start-up. The award was given for the company's innovative innovation aimed at transforming the animal feed industry by eliminating antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The award was presented at the Startup Mahakumbh held at Bharat Mandap in New Delhi from April 3 to 5. The three-day mega event marked India's largest entrepreneurship meet, with over 3,000 exhibitors, 10,000 start-ups, 1,000 investors and over 50,000 visitors from across the country and abroad. The platform showcased cutting-edge innovations through sector-focused pavilions in areas such as Agritech, Biotech, AI, Fintech, Climate Tech, Defence & Space Tech and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elmentos Research, founded by renowned biotechnologist and entrepreneur Jayshankar Das, has emerged as a major player in the smart protein segment. The company uses Black Soldier Fly (BSF) biotechnology to convert organic waste into high-quality protein, oil, and organic fertiliser. Its flagship products contain functional proteins rich in antimicrobial peptides - a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional antibiotic-laced animal feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elmentos' future feed solutions are custom-developed for the poultry, aquafeed and pet food industries. These smart formulations provide accurate nutrition, improve disease control at the microscopic level, significantly reduce dependence on antibiotics, and offer a path towards more resilient and environmentally friendly animal husbandry practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recognised for its strong R & D foundation and sustainability-oriented mission, Elmentos has received numerous national and international grants and accreditations. These include BIRAC Biotechnology Ignition Grant (BIG) Startup India Seed Fund, NRDC-DSIR TDVC Grant, I4F Indo-Israel Grant, HDFC Parivartan Eco-Innovate Grant and MeitY Leap Ahead Cohort.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
