About Kanav Biosyze

Building sustainable biomaterials by transforming poultry feather waste into high-purity keratin.

Who We Are

Kanav Biosyze is a biotechnology startup focused on converting poultry feather waste into high-purity keratin biomaterials for industrial and research applications. By addressing both waste management and material sustainability, we work at the intersection of green chemistry and circular bioeconomy.

Using a controlled, patent-published extraction process, we recover keratin while preserving its functional properties. Our approach emphasizes minimal chemical usage, batch-wise processing, and consistent quality, enabling applications across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and advanced research.

Supported by Startup India, PABI-RAFTAAR, WeIncubate, and the Punjab State Council for Science & Technology (PSCST), Kanav Biosyze is building India’s first scalable feather-to-keratin platform, with a focus on validation, pilot development, and industry collaboration.
