Factories vs Insects 🐛 Sounds ridiculous… until you realise this: Some life-saving biologics cost $𝟓𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. A Bengaluru startup, Loopworm, is trying to change that— by using insects as bio-factories. 👉 Same proteins 👉 Up to 𝟖𝟎% 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 They’re already: 🔷Selling protein for animal feed globally 🌍 🔷Exporting to Japan, Europe & South America 🔷Scaling from ₹4.5 Cr → ₹15–18 Cr But this is just the beginning. Next up? 💉 Diagnostics 💊 Biologics 🧪 Pharma If this works, it could make advanced healthcare more accessible worldwide. The real question is: 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭-𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞? 👇 Read the in-depth article here: inc42.com/startups/how-loopw… @StarAgriGroup & @Loopworm1 #Startups #Biotech #Business #Healthcare #Inc42

An Indian startup is leading a parallel Bio-Hybrid revolution that the German startup actually cited as a model for biological scaling. Loopworm (based in BLR, founders are IIT-R alums), started in insect-based feed & has pivoted into using silkworms as living bioreactors to produce recombinant proteins & vaccines. Just as the German company uses insects as living platforms for sensors, Loopworm uses them as living platforms for chemical manufacturing. They bypass traditional stainless steel lab reactors entirely. This reactor-free approach is the same philosophy SWARM Biotactics uses to bypass robotics factories.

Example: Loopworm (Bengaluru). Backers: venture funds like WaterBridge & Titan Capital (with foreign LPs). Pitch: “waste to animal feed.” The slow pivot is predictable → “If poultry can eat it, why not people?”

🔖 Did you know insects like #silkworms can be used like a factory to drive next-gen molecular diagnostics & vaccines? Next in our "Innovation Insights" blog series, we write about @Loopworm1, a startup supported by CCAMP — 🔗medium.com/@c-camp/on-a-loop… Loopworm is currently using silkworms as a platform technology to drive multiple products, including sustainable food for animals and aquaculture. From their recombinant protein tech platform, using silkworms, the team has already developed TGF-beta, a growth factor, among other diagnostic and therapeutic proteins, in their lab Now they are all ready to commercialise such recombinant proteins at an affordable and quickly scalable rate, that can disrupt molecular diagnostics such as in ELISA kits, vaccine components, cell therapy supplements & more Read more to find how Loopworm harnesses this reliable bio-resource, much beyond a sustainability fad!
