Overview

Proklean Technologies manufactures natural probiotic products under the Proviera brand, using a proprietary probiotic technology the company says is 100% biodegradable, natural and non-toxic. Its core products target industrial and commercial applications including leather processing, textile processing and household cleaning, aiming to replace or reduce chemical usage. The company has developed a suite of products for the textile and leather industries and lists marquee Indian customers such as Vardhaman Group, Raymond, Mafatlal, Welspun, RSWM, Kapoor Industries, JK Mills and others. Proklean also reports international customers across the USA, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Turkey, Thailand, China, Philippines, Australia and Bangladesh. In June 2015 Proklean secured Rs 3.5 crore from IIMA‑CIIE’s sustainability and cleantech fund Infuse Ventures to advance its probiotic technology, after an earlier angel round from Chennai Angels, fellow IIMA students and SCD Probiotics, USA. The company was founded by Dr. Sivaram Pillai, B. Chandrasekhar and Vishwadeep Kuila and is based in Chennai. ProKlean Technologies develops chemical-free, biodegradable formulations for use in tanneries, textile firms and the hospitality industry. The company’s core product line targets industrial customers seeking cleaner, sustainable process chemistries. Leadership includes CEO Dr. Sivaram Pillai alongside Bala Chandrasekhar and Vishwadeep Kuila. ProKlean raised capital in an angel funding round to support growth. The company intends to use the funds to expand manufacturing facilities, increase sales and marketing reach, and invest in product R&D. The financing reflects early-stage support for scaling production and commercial efforts.
