Chandigarh, India 08, January 2025: In a groundbreaking milestone for the global nutraceutical industry, CRIUS Group has emerged as India’s first contract manufacturing organization (CMO) to adopt 100% AI-based project implementation. This transformative move leverages the NutrifyGenie Integrated AI platform, marking a world-first achievement in contract manufacturing and heralding a new era of innovation.

Revolutionizing Manufacturing with AI NutrifyGenie AI, a leading AI-driven platform, was integral in designing scientifically differentiated formulations for a multinational client. Beyond formulation, the platform mapped sourcing and development and identified contract manufacturers best suited to execute the project. CRIUS Lifesciences, led by its visionary pharmacist-founder, Mr. Subba Rao Chinni, seized the opportunity to execute this AI-designed project.

Beyond its core functionalities, NutrifyGenie also supports businesses in accelerating their go-to-market strategies by 200%, fostering innovation in ingredient discovery and safety analysis through its proprietary databank of 3.6 million curated scientific data points.

Speaking about this achievement, Mr. Subba Rao highlighted the company’s pharma-based principles as its cornerstone for delivering quality production. "As a pharmacist owning a pharmaceutical plant, I’ve applied the same stringent principles to our nutraceutical facility. The integration of NutrifyGenie AI has been transformative, allowing us to focus on our world-class manufacturing strengths while AI manages the complexities of formulation, sourcing, and regulatory compliance." "Plug and Play" AI for CMOs The NutrifyGenie platform automates product design, ideation, sourcing, and regulatory processes, enabling CRIUS to shift its focus to process innovation and rapid production. "Winning business based on quality, rather than extensive sales and marketing, frees our bandwidth to innovate and ensure speed in manufacturing," added Mr. Subba Rao.

AI as a Catalyst for Efficiency AI adoption is rapidly reshaping the contract manufacturing landscape. Studies suggest CMOs leveraging AI can achieve 40-50% process optimization, resulting in shorter manufacturing cycles, reduced waste, and lower production costs. Platforms like NutrifyGenie AI, Ingredients AI, and Pathway Formulator lead the charge, with NutrifyGenie distinguished by its peer-reviewed, high-impact research formulations.

In addition to optimizing processes, NutrifyGenie builds bridges between academia, industry, and government, creating an ecosystem conducive to collaboration.
