Intrinsic Foundries Raises Rs 12 Crore To Scale Carbon To Value Biomanufacturing Platform

Reimagining Carbon As A Resource

Founded in 2023 by Shreyansh Jain, Sanjay Jain, and Umang Jain, Intrinsic Foundries is building a carbon to value biomanufacturing platform.

The startup captures industrial emissions, effluents, and residues and converts them into premium biochemicals. Its technology stack includes proprietary microbial biorefinery systems, modular photobioreactors, and integrated automation.

The goal is clear. Enable scalable and revenue positive decarbonization while supplying sustainable ingredients to global industries.

Solving The Economics Of Carbon Capture

Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage has long faced adoption challenges due to capital intensity and weak unit economics.

Intrinsic Foundries approaches the problem differently. It captures CO2 using microalgae in upstream processes and converts the captured carbon into high value biochemical outputs. These outputs serve pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.

By generating revenue from carbon conversion, the company aims to make carbon capture commercially viable rather than purely compliance driven.

Strategic Global Collaborations

The startup maintains research and development partnerships in the United States and Germany. It brings together process engineers, scientists, and automation specialists at the intersection of industrial biotechnology and biomanufacturing.

This international collaboration is expected to strengthen its technical depth as it scales pilots and commercial operations.

The Road Ahead

Over the next 12 to 24 months, Intrinsic Foundries plans to commission multiple industrial pilots and operationalise its first one ton per day commercial plant.

It also aims to expand its patent portfolio, generate cumulative revenues from pilot projects and biochemical products, and deepen international market access.

In the long term, the company seeks to build carbon to value biomanufacturing infrastructure as a foundational layer for global industrial decarbonization.
