Phyx44 is a Bangalore-based, full-stack precision fermentation dairy company developing whey and casein proteins as well as key dairy fatty acids without lactose and with a smaller environmental footprint. The startup emphasizes reproducing both proteins and fats to better mimic conventional dairy functionality. It has scaled to a 100L capacity and plans to use its seed funding to accelerate R&D, expand its team, and co-develop products with partners. Phyx44 expects to launch its first products in Singapore and India in 2024 and is eyeing broader global market opportunities across India and Asia. The company is positioning itself against U.S.-based precision fermentation producers such as Perfect Day. Observers including the Good Food Institute India note the sector’s potential role in meeting India’s bioeconomy ambitions.
