The Rekrite Journey

"Sometimes destinations become a journey. This is exactly what Rekrite is. What started as mere research became an obsession which found a purpose."

Founded by Prof. Mudrika Khandelwal from IIT Hyderabad, Rekrite Herbaceuticals Private Limited is on a trajectory to disrupt applications with better functions and sustainability. Many incidents shaped it along the way.

Currently, our journey is laid out to position a wonderful supramolecular hierarchical fiber produced by natural bacterial fermentation—cellulose. We believe that caring for ingredients is paramount; protection until they are required becomes essential. We bring our expertise and IP here to work with experts across various fields, providing solutions that may not just change the world, but recreate it.

We partner with innovators, industries, and researchers to co-create nature-inspired solutions across healthcare, personal care, home care, agriculture, electronics, and beyond.
