We are Tvashtr Biotech Private Limited, an India-based Biotech start-up focusing on bridging the gap from eliminating laboratory dependency to developing novel, rapid, portable, easy-to-use and scalable technologies.
Gaps in Allergy Diagnosis
With over 400 million people suffering from allergies globally, yet 70% of them undiagnosed, we’re here to change that!
Recurring High Costs
Traditional tests are costly ($300–$1,000) in a $1.3B industry
Lack of adaptable technologies!
The unavailability of lab-accurate easy-to-use, rapid and portable devices.
Time-consuming Process
Requires specialized lab infrastructure, and takes several days to process and deliver results
Inconvenience to users
Methods such as skin-prick testing and patch-based testing used often cause a lot of discomfort to the user
​But can this all be done at your convenience anywhere, with lab-grade accuracy, without the doctor's interference, and with the consultation of post-test support. You should be able to take this decision into your own hands, right?

Lifestyle of Allergy Patients
Constant Fear
The constant fear for people with food allergies is the risk of accidental exposure leading to a severe or life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
-
Delayed or inadequate medical response
-
Social and lifestyle limitations
Frequent Visits
Why now?
Patients need routine visits for epinephrine auto-injectors, antihistamines, and personalized emergency action plans. Regular checkups help track allergy severity, assess immune responses, and update dietary restrictions.
Post-COVID, a sudden shift toward home-based, rapid diagnostics has encouraged diagnosis at the user's comfort and the potential to develop diagnostic tools in a newly penetrable market segment.
