History and Milestones

Advanced Enzymes Technologies Ltd. was incorporated in 1989. However, our journey began in 1957, when our founder Late L. C. Rathi pioneered the extraction of papain, an enzyme complex derived from papaya fruit and widely used for pharmaceutical and medical purposes. He went on to set up India’s first enzyme manufacturing plant in 1958. Since then, we have continued to grow with that same entrepreneurial and innovative spirit and are today, the largest producer of enzymes in central Asia!
