Private Company

Total funding raised: $9.8M

Overview

Founded in 2009, SciGenom Labs has established itself as a key player in the genomics services sector, bridging advanced genomic research between India, Asia, and the USA. Its business model is centered on providing contract research and sequencing services utilizing a robust technology platform that includes Illumina sequencers (HiSeq, MiSeq), Roche 454-FLX, and ABI Sanger systems. The company caters to academic, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic partners, with a noted focus on building genomic resources for South Asian populations. As a private entity, it operates in a high-growth market but faces significant competition and technological obsolescence risks.

Genetics & Genomics

Technology Platform

Integrated end-to-end genomics platform featuring Illumina NGS sequencers (HiSeq, MiSeq), Roche 454-FLX, ABI Sanger sequencing, and a comprehensive bioinformatics IT infrastructure with LIMS, operating under ISO/NABL/GLP standards.

Funding History

Total raised:$9.8M
Series A$8M
Seed$1.8M

Opportunities

The growing demand for genomic services in the underserved South Asian market and the global trend towards precision medicine present significant expansion opportunities.
Leveraging its DSIR-recognized R&D to develop proprietary databases or diagnostic assays could create higher-value offerings.

Risk Factors

Key risks include rapid technological obsolescence of sequencing platforms, intense price competition in the global genomics services market, and reliance on a primary vendor (Illumina) for core technology.
The cyclical nature of research funding also poses a revenue risk.

Competitive Landscape

SciGenom competes in a crowded global genomics services market against large players like BGI, Novogene, and Macrogen, as well as numerous regional labs. Its differentiation is based on its certified Indian laboratory network, focus on South Asian population genomics, and integrated 'Start to Finish' service model.
