Growing India’s beta-carotene future
Glaukos Algae Technologies Pvt. Ltd. pioneers sustainable marine microalgae cultivation on the coast of Nellore, Andhra Pradesh.
Pioneering marine microalgae since 2019
Incorporated in Q4 2019, Glaukos Algae focuses on cultivating and harvesting Dunaliella salina, the marine microalga with the world’s highest natural beta-carotene content, using 100% organic and sustainable methods.
Commercial cultivation of Dunaliella salina is hard. It needs high salinity, strong sunlight and careful process control. We invested years in developing a cost-effective, sustainable technology suited to Indian tropical conditions, and set up a dedicated facility on a 25-acre coastal salt-pan site with an excellent supply of saline water.
High beta-carotene Dunaliella biomass is scarce worldwide. Combined with rigorous quality standards and organic certification, this makes Glaukos a reliable source of a premium ingredient for global markets.
Our vision
Develop technology to grow high-value algal “green” products that are sustainable, scalable and profitable globally.
Key milestone
India’s first production facility dedicated to cultivating and harvesting Dunaliella salina, a difficult marine species that uniquely delivers high β-carotene.
Our promise
Organic-certified Glaukotene® biomass with stringent quality control, product grading from leading test labs, and internationally recognised cultivation techniques.
