Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the enzyme market and is expected to continue this trend. This is due to the gradually increasing awareness regarding the potential benefits of enzymes in food, feed, beverages, healthcare, pharma, and industrial applications. The increasing popularity of recombinant enzymes across various industries, like detergents, pharmaceuticals, and more, is another factor behind the growth of this market. The rapid development of India's food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries is starting to change this trend and specialty enzyme demand will outpace industrial enzyme demand in the future.
India has a few multinational and local companies that manufacture enzymes in pharmaceuticals, food processing, leather, detergents, paper, pulp, and textiles. Founded in 2008, Revelations is a biotech organization with proven expertise in molecular biology, enzyme technology, fermentation, and process engineering for developing novel enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics, and functional ingredients for applications in food, feed, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.
Technology and scale are the major problems in the enzymes industry as a very few companies have their production platforms and it is essential to have strong R&D capabilities to remain competitive. RBPL has its proprietary production platforms which are scalable to produce both bacterial and fungal enzymes. Between 2009 and 2012 the company’s focus was on the development of technology platforms for enzymes and from 2012 onwards RBPL began R&D on prebiotics, probiotics, and functional ingredients.
In 2015, the company graduated from IKP and established its production facility at IDA, Cherlapally, Hyderabad, India.
"RBPL was founded with the goal of developing innovative and affordable solutions and make them accessible in scale to end users", speaks C V Subba Rao, Chairman, Revelations Biotech. The company's initial focus is to cater to food and feed enzymes and biocatalysts and offers cutting-edge scientific solutions and science-driven biotechnology products with a customer-oriented market-centric approach. Revelations is also actively involved in developing a range of products implicated in animal health and productivity.
RBPL is one of the largest manufacturers of fructo oligo saccharides, which is a Prebiotic Dietary Fibre made from cane sugar, under the brand Foslife, which is a healthy sugar substitute. Fosgro is an ideal prebiotic ingredient for enriching animal feed and feed supplements. "The company takes pride in its innovative approach to manufacture prebiotic food ingredients, probiotics, and high-grade enzymes while fully complying with most stringent GMP and regulatory guidelines", speaks Dr. Ravi Chandra Beeram, Managing Director, Revelations Biotech.
Offering Cutting-edge Scientific Solutions
RBPL began as an R&D company and research remains a significant strength of the organization. The company has the state-of-the-art infrastructure required for molecular biology, microbiology, and fermentation-related R&D. The scientific team comprises Ph.Ds. and post-doctoral level researchers from institutions of national and international reputation. The company not only believes in the Make-in-India program for manufacturing but also imagines, develops, and produces enzymes using indigenous in-house technology.
This gives them a unique advantage to further improve and evolve with market requirements. The company has spent many years in R&D to arrive at the innovation of certain proprietary food enzymes, which gives a unique advantage to produce fructo oligo saccharides (prebiotic), which is a cost-effective sugar replacer that has the potential to transform sweeteners space.

RBPL aims for geographic market expansion to the Middle East, Africa, North America, Japan, Europe, and Asia. The mission is to expand and upgrade the enzyme production facility to cater to food, feed, pharma, and export markets. The company plans to expand the FOS production facility to 35,000 MT and produce FOS powder. "The company looks forward to occupying a significant market share in this space without depending on imports", concludes Subba Rao.
