The global agricultural biotechnology market is expected to reach $113,947.6 million by 2030, driven by expanding population, increased food consumption, and increased adoption of improved crop farming technologies. Biotechnology tools are becoming increasingly used in agricultural applications. Furthermore, an increase in demand for new breeding techniques is projected to drive market expansion. This is augmented by the rising penetration of biotechnology tools for creating or modifying features of species such as plants, animals, and microbes in terms of colour, yield, or size. However, providing excellent items that might help farmers increase their production and efficiency is critical, especially in a country as densely populated as India.
With a vision to be one of India’s best biotechnology enterprises with global distinction, Sowbhagya Biotech was established to serve the farming community with the highest grade of inputs for sustainable agriculture. Through rigorous R&D, the company has been building intellectual assets to consistently innovate new crop goods. Sowbhagya Biotech is a technology-driven, professionally managed company that manufactures bio-stimulants, mineral proteinates/gluconates and lactates, microbial bio-fertilizers, micronutrients, and their combinations. Since 2003, the company has been marketing all of these products to various companies and the state government.
Subsequently, the company incorporated several new molecules as Organic Agri Inputs by establishing Technological Collaborations with various national level organizations. Furthermore, for better market sustenance, a unique marketing plan has been implemented for the delivery of the products to various corporate firms as well as the government sector. The company is expanding its operations by commercializing new and organic nutritional inputs for cattle as well as humans.
“We are one of the best manufacturers of protein hydrolysate/amino acids, which are utilized as biostimulants and to improve crop quality in PAN India. We have three production facilities near Hyderabad, as well as a corporate office and research and development centre in the city. We have also formed alliances with international clients in order to export our products to various nations across the world", says R.L. Narayana Rao, Founder & Managing Director, Sowbhagya Biotech.
“We believe passionately in leading the global economy toward long-term growth and prosperity. We are entirely focused on developing innovative products and processes through rigorous R&D and collaboration with national and international research institutions/academic institutions. The centre is recognized by the Department of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science & Technology and Govt. of India. Our key emphasis has been on increasing the value of protein and carbohydrates through biotechnology. We have been in this sector for the past 18 years, working with corporations such as Rallis India, Fertis India, UPL, Gujarat State Fertilizers Chemicals, and others”, adds Narayana.
Spearheading Company’s Growth Bandwagon
R. L. Narayana Rao, the Founder & Managing Director at Sowbhagya Biotech, is a visionary on a mission to enrich the Agriculture System via the use of novel organic agri inputs to improve agri output in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner. He completed his post-graduate studies in Plant Physiology at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), in 1983, and has worked in several public and private sector companies over the past 20 years. In 2003, he founded Sowbhagya Biotech as a professionally managed and technology-driven organization. His entrepreneurial experience began with the successful sale of a novel Bio-stimulant as an import substitution.
On behalf of the company, he has received numerous accolades from the state of Andhra Pradesh and the government of India. He is convinced that organic agriculture is the best way for preserving the health of soils, ecosystems, and farmers.
A Single Window Solution for Better Agri Practices
Sowbhagya Biotech's Srimin Gold is a novel and creative Bio Stimulant made from plant proteins that have been certified as organic by a nationally and internationally recognized agency. This product has been metabolically enhanced to promote overall plant growth and development as well as yield.
Protein hydrolysate/amino acid will be about a minimum of 12 percent of this product, with other metabolically active organic molecules around 10-15 percent and organic matter around 20 percent. It boosts chlorophyll biosynthesis, improves plant health with enhanced tolerance to stress, and improves flowering and retention of flowers and fruits, resulting in better quality and increased crop yield. Furthermore, Sowbhagya Biotech has a bio-stimulant called Daiwik, which is created from the fermentation of plant polysaccharides and is supplemented with plant proteins/amino acids, and is certified organic by both national and international organizations. Potash activation stimulates photosynthesis, which results in the creation of carbohydrates, oil, lipids, and proteins. Potash also activates over 60 enzymes, efficiently fixes biological nitrogen, decreases respiration, eliminates energy losses, improves sugar and starch translocation, and yields starch-rich grain, among other things.
Glacpot, another bio-stimulant given by Soubhagya, is produced from plant proteins. This product has been
enhanced with metabolically active organic potash in the form of potassium gluconates/lactates, which increases plant development and production. Furthermore, Sowbhagya Biotech's Neo Alpha is an exceptional organic fertilizer reinforced with seaweed, humic acid, and amino acid. This product increases fertilizer efficiency by improving and speeding up nutrient uptake. It also strengthens the plant's resistance to frost and disease, boosts nutrient uptake from the soil, and promotes seed germination, and roots and shoot growth. Sowbhagya Biotech’s PP Mix is another unique bio-stimulant that can be further enriched with metabolically active amino acid chelated phosphorus and gluconates/lactates of potassium as major nutrients to improve the overall growth and development of the plants and their yield.

Eco-friendly Technology for Nutrient Recycling & Environmental Sustainability
Agriculture is vital to the economy of any country. Chemical fertilizers and insecticides are widely used in modern intensive agriculture methods to boost crop yield and meet the nutritional needs of the world's growing population. Rapid urbanization, shrinking agricultural lands, dramatic changes in climatic conditions, and widespread use of agrochemicals in agricultural practices, on the other hand, have been found to cause environmental disturbances and public health hazards, threatening food security and agricultural sustainability.
SOWBHAGYA BIOTECH is completely focused on developing innovative products & processes with the help of robust R&D, & collaboration with National & International Research institutions/academia
Offering an attractive replacement for chemical fertilizers that are polluting the environment, Sowbhagya Biotech has a range of microbial-based fertilizers that have been assisting farmers in dramatically improving crop output in an ecofriendly manner while relying on sustainable agriculture principles. Sowbhagya Biotech Organic Manure is a welldecomposed organic manure that has been reinforced with a blend of organic nutrient cakes like Neem, Pongamia, and Castor, bio-fertilizers for increased crop protection and productivity.
This organic manure improves soil structure and aeration, especially in sandy and clay soils, increases soil nutrient availability and water holding capacity, provides stable humus to the soil and stimulates CO2 sequestration, improves root proliferation, retains water-soluble nutrients in the root zone and releases them to the plant when needed, and promotes the growth of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). Sowbhagya Biotech has also created micronutrient blends to improve agricultural output and soil quality.
Robust Roadmap Ahead
Going forward, Sowbhagya Biotech would be constantly reinventing itself to stay abreast of the ever-changing market dynamics while keeping sustainability at the core of every operation. The company has been integrating the latest technologies and methodologies to serve Indian farmers at their best. Thereby creating a better livelihood for farmers and their families.
