Bangalore Genei

Bangalore Genei is a pioneer in the Indian biotechnology industry, specializing in the development and manufacture of reagents, kits, and tools for life science research and education. Founded in 1989, the company was the first in India to produce restriction enzymes and other essential molecular biology reagents locally, significantly advancing the country's domestic research capabilities. Its product portfolio includes DNA polymerases, purification kits, protein markers, and specialized educational kits for academic laboratories. Following its acquisition by the Sanmar Group and later by Merck KGaA, the company's operations were integrated into Merck's global life science business. The "GeNei" brand remains a staple in Indian laboratories, known for its contribution to the indigenous development of biotech tools.
