The Silicon Review ^Asia

Advanced Enzymes Technologies Ltd. was incorporated in 1989. However, the company’s journey began in 1957, when its founder Late L. C. Rathi pioneered the extraction of papain, an enzyme complex derived from papaya fruit and widely used for pharmaceutical and medical purposes. Advanced Enzymes went on to set up India’s first enzyme manufacturing plant in 1958. Since then, Advanced Enzymes have continued to grow with that same entrepreneurial and innovative spirit and are today, the largest producer of enzymes in central Asia!

Advanced Enzymes is a research-driven company with global leadership in the manufacturing of enzymes and probiotics.
