Профиль
Loopworm (Bengaluru, India; founded 2019) is an insect biomanufacturing company that turns silkworms (and is insect-agnostic) into protein/oil ingredients and recombinant proteins. Core products/technology include LoopMeal Pro and LoopOil from silkworm pupae for animal nutrition, plus a silkworm “living bioreactor” platform for recombinant antigens, antibodies, enzymes, cytokines, etc. via proprietary plug-and-play gene delivery (LoopBac™) using baculovirus delivery into non-GMO silkworms; one silkworm is claimed to be productivity-equivalent to 100–1,000 mL of insect cell culture. It has a 6,000 tonnes/year processing facility operating at ~20% capacity; reported producing ~100 tonnes/month; PitchBook lists 59 employees and private status. Key partners/customers mentioned: CP Feeds, Ananda Group, and shrimp feed producers; it also conducts trials/shipment to 20+ countries. Funding/investors mentioned: grants from BIRAC (Biotechnology Ignition Grant), RKVY-RAFTAAR; and VC/investors including Omnivore Ventures (seed, raised ₹25.8 Cr in Sept 2022), plus pre-Series A $3.3M co-led by WaterBridge Ventures and Enrission India Capital (also referenced as investing $3.25M), and additional Series A rounds including June/July 2025 (Enrission India Capital and Waterbridge Ventures referenced by Inc42; PitchBook shows Series A “in progress” with later-stage deals dated 29-Jan-2025 and 17-Sep-2025). Latest 2025–2026 developments: June 2025 expansion goals to salmon/tuna feed and a disclosed 1,000 tonnes per annum order in salmon feed; April 2026 PwC India LCA rating of “carbon negative” for LoopMeal/LoopOil; April 2026 Inc42 reports FY25 revenue ₹4.5 Cr and projected ₹15–18 Cr for FY26 and continued exports (Japan, Europe, South America). Active: yes, with ongoing 2025–2026 commercialisation and exports reported.
