Lamark Biotech raises Rs 6.5 Cr in pre-Series A round led by IAN Group Lamark's proprietary ProteoStrong platform enables the stabilization of fragile protein-based drugs, such as insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and enzymes, without altering their molecular structure. Biopharma startup Lamark Biotech has raised Rs 6.5 crore in a pre-Series A round led by IAN Group, including IAN Alpha Fund, powered by BioAngels, Vinayender Tulla, Nita Roy, and Venkataraman KNK. Domain experts from IAN’s angel investors led the round. The Ahmedabad-based company had previously raised $41.3K in a seed funding round led by VIT-TBI and others. The fresh funds will be utilized to accelerate the development of thermostable insulin and expand the biologics platform for global access, Lamark said in a press release. Founded in 2018 by Vaibhav Bhatia, Lamark Biotech aims to reimagine drug delivery for chronic and life-altering diseases. Its proprietary ProteoStrong platform enables the stabilization of fragile protein-based drugs, such as insulin, monoclonal antibodies, and enzymes, without altering their molecular structure. According to Lamark Biotech, it leverages the R&D base of Venture Center, NCL Innovation, and it is advancing a new class of temperature-resilient biologics that retain potency across extreme conditions—ideal for underserved regions where cold storage infrastructure is limited. With its lead program, InsulinStrong, Lamark is targeting the Rs 4,000 crore Indian insulin market and intends to expand across Southeast Asia and the UAE. In the next 24 months, it plans to file new international patents, begin early clinical trials, and build partnerships with pharma companies, CDMOs, and global health agencies.
