BioPrime Biostimulants and SNIPR Discovery Platform

BioPrime AgriSolutions is an agricultural biotechnology company in Pune, India, whose journey began in 2015 with founders trained in botany, plant physiology and genetic engineering. It develops biologicals that help crops cope with drought, heat and erratic rainfall while using nutrients more efficiently.

Its patented SNIPR high-throughput screening platform combines physiology, metabolomics, transcriptomics and image analysis to find biomolecules that modulate plant physiology, and BIONEXUS is described as India's largest plant-associated microbe library. The portfolio spans seaweed, botanical, humic and amino acid biostimulants, phosphate-solubilizing biofertilizers and Trichoderma biocontrol, and the company co-develops custom products with industry partners.

• SNIPR: patented high-throughput screening that uses omics and image analysis to find plant-active biomolecules.
• BIONEXUS: a large collection of plant-associated microbes for biofertilizer and biocontrol development.
• Fortisea: seaweed biostimulant based on Australian bull kelp.
• Admiron and Verdant: botanical extract and biomolecule products for quality and temperature stress.
• Phosphonexus and TrichoNexus: phosphate-solubilizing biofertilizer and Trichoderma-based biocontrol.
• Co-development: custom biostimulants, biofertilizers, seed treatments and fertilizer additives for industry partners.

• Fertilizer companies co-developing a branded seaweed or humic biostimulant for rice and durian.
• Crop protection distributors importing Trichoderma and phosphate-solubilizing products for fruit and vegetable growers.
• Seed companies adding a biological seed treatment to improve establishment under heat.

• Registered portfolio: all 20 biostimulant formulations received approval from India's agriculture ministry in February 2026, easing partner due diligence.
• Stress resilience: products target drought, heat and temperature swings that reduce yield.
• Nutrient use efficiency: phosphate-solubilizing and nutrient-uptake products help reduce fertilizer waste.
• Faster custom development: the SNIPR platform and microbe library shorten discovery for co-developed products.

Regulators in India and Southeast Asia are formalising registration for biostimulants and biologicals, which favours suppliers with approved, well-characterised portfolios. Fertilizer and crop protection companies in Vietnam are adding biological lines to meet residue limits for exports and the push to reduce chemical inputs.

Based in Pune, Maharashtra, India; the company traces its start to 2015. CEO Renuka Diwan and COO Shekhar Bhosle lead the company. In February 2026 it received approval for its full range of 20 biostimulant formulations from the INM Biostimulant Cell of India's agriculture ministry.
