The Live Green Company

The Live Green Company, operating through its technology platform DE3PBIO™, is positioning itself at the intersection of biotechnology and artificial intelligence to disrupt the functional ingredients market.

Founded in 2018 by Sasikanth Chemalamudi and Priyanga Sew-Taw, the company leverages a proprietary AI engine named Charaka™ to significantly accelerate the research and development of Active Functional Ingredients (AFIs). The founders' backgrounds appear complementary; Chemalamudi's experience spans across various industries with a focus on business and strategy, while Sew-Taw brings a background in industrial engineering and analytics. This blend of expertise underpins the company's data-centric approach to what has traditionally been a resource-intensive R&D process.

The core of its business model is to use Charaka™ to analyze vast databases of plant-based compounds, identifying natural, functional, and sustainable alternatives to synthetic and animal-derived ingredients. This process is augmented by precision fermentation, a technique that uses microorganisms as cellular factories to produce these targeted ingredients efficiently and sustainably. This technological blend allows The Live Green Co. to develop AFIs for its clients at what it claims to be three times the speed and five times the capital efficiency of conventional methods.

The company serves as a B2B ingredient supplier to consumer product and healthcare companies. Its clients in the fortified foods, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics sectors can integrate these AFIs into their end products. By doing so, they can de-risk their supply chains, secure stable pricing, and bring products with novel functionalities to market more rapidly. Examples of their developed AFIs include an animal-free collagen precursor, probiotic metabolites, and a base for animal-free colostrum, highlighting their focus on high-value, specialized ingredients.
