I build scalable, IP-backed botanical bioactive and nutraceutical ingredient pipelines.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At GreenSpace Herbs, I lead R&D programmes for botanical bioactives and standardized nutraceutical ingredients, developing differentiated product concepts, scalable extraction workflows, and IP opportunities.
Across 25+ years in natural products, phytochemistry, analytical sciences, and solid-state chemistry, I have built research capabilities from the ground up. I established a DSIR–SIRO-recognized R&D centre and integrated analytical laboratories supporting XRD, DSC/TGA, FT-IR, HPLC, and LC-MS/MS.
My work spans phytochemical isolation, extraction, enrichment, purification, impurity profiling, characterization, and standardization. I develop cocrystal, coamorphous, cyclodextrin, spray-drying, granulation, and particle-engineering approaches to improve bioactive performance.
I have led multidisciplinary programmes at Dayananda Sagar University, Sankar Foundation Research Institute, and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, mentored seven Ph.D. scholars, secured DST and ICMR funding, and contributed to six patents and 60+ publications.
