Life-sciences R&D and product development — run by scientists, in a real lab.
Manna Biotech Pvt. Ltd. is a founder-led research organisation in Hyderabad, India. We partner with pharma, nutraceutical, biotech and startup clients — from discovery and assay development through sequencing, molecular characterisation and data analysis — and we advance our own internal R&D.
Every engagement is scoped under a written proposal. An NDA is available before any detailed discussion, and all client data and intellectual property remain exclusively with the client.
What we do
Scientific capability, end to end.
Discovery & early research
Target identification, proof-of-concept assays, literature due diligence and feasibility studies.
Assay design & validation
PCR and qPCR assay design, optimisation and validation for clinical research and industry applications.
Genomics & sequencing
Oxford Nanopore and Illumina-based sequencing programs for research and R&D applications.
Microbial & probiotic science
16S and whole-genome profiling of probiotic strains, contamination profiling and microbial community analysis.
Nutraceutical & plant science
Plant DNA barcoding, adulteration detection and molecular authentication for the herbal and nutraceutical sector.
Patent & IP documentation
Prior-art screening, invention disclosures and technical drafting, coordinated with registered patent professionals.
Product development
From an idea to a validated method.
We develop assays, methods and molecular products with our clients — designing the protocol, running the science, validating the result and handing over transfer documentation your team can actually use. Where an outcome is patentable, our patent & IP documentation support helps you capture it properly, coordinated with registered patent professionals.
Alongside client programs, Manna Biotech advances its own internal R&D and intellectual property. Details of our in-house work are shared under NDA with serious partners and investors.
We are a research organisation, not a law firm — we do not file patents directly, and no one can guarantee a patent grant, a publication or a regulatory outcome.
How we engage
Discovery engagement
A short, scoped study — proof of concept, feasibility or due diligence — with defined endpoints and timelines.
Method development
Assay or pipeline development, delivered with validation and transfer documentation.
Multi-phase program
A long-running research partnership under a master services agreement (MSA).
Why partner with Manna Biotech
Founder-led science, a registered company, a real facility.

Real lab, real platforms
A working laboratory in Nacharam, Hyderabad with hands-on Oxford Nanopore sequencing, molecular biology, cell culture and an in-house bioinformatics / NGS analysis capability.
A registered, compliant company
Manna Biotech Pvt. Ltd. — CIN U73100TG2021PTC151489, GSTIN 36AAOCM5975F1ZX. ISO 9001:2015 certified, NSDC (MSDE) recognised, LSSSDC affiliated, MSME registered, Startup India.
Documented, transparent delivery
Projects run to defined SOPs with agreed endpoints, timelines and deliverables set before kick-off, and full data transparency throughout.
Your IP stays yours
NDA available before detailed discussion. All client data and intellectual property remain exclusively with the client.
A talent pipeline built in
Our training and project ecosystem means scientists we have personally trained — a practical advantage when a program needs to scale.
Investors & strategic partners
Building a life-sciences R&D company from Hyderabad.
Manna Biotech was founded to do real science — a working lab, a scientist at the helm, and research that stands up to scrutiny. We are open to conversations with investors and strategic partners who want to build life-sciences R&D and product development capability in India.
Our capability, facility, in-house R&D direction and commercial detail are discussed directly with the founders under NDA — not published on a web page.
The wider Manna Biotech ecosystem
Our R&D sits alongside a hands-on training, project and PhD ecosystem.
