Shunya Labs

Innovation is Shunya's
working DNA.

Every product Shunya has built started with a problem nothing on the market could solve. Shunya Labs turns those solutions into tools our own teams and outside operations both rely on.

Science

We validate every consumable and protocol against lab data, field outcomes, and livestock nutrition science.

Technology

We build our stack, from geospatial placement engines to production management software, around rural India's infrastructure constraints.

Infrastructure

We engineer the physical and energy backbone that keeps every GLC running through rural India's power and reliability constraints.

15 Innovations Built Across science, software, and distribution infrastructure
100% Operationally Proven Every tool runs on our own network before we offer it to others
4 Innovation Streams Science, Technology, Infrastructure, and Extensions, each with a distinct role
0→1 First Principles We build from scratch when no existing solution fits our field realities
Innovation Stream · Science

Formulated from the field up

We build every formula from livestock nutrition outcomes measured in real production environments, then refine it with each batch cycle, each SGS lab report, and each yield measurement from our subscriber network.

Fodder Shield · three-part defence stack

Three interventions,
three different risks.

We built Fodder Shield as three distinct tools: antifungal suppression, larval development disruption, and biological larval control. Each acts at a different point in the contamination or pest cycle.

01 · Fungal control

Mycoshield

Suppress early fungal establishment and colony expansion

Farmers apply Mycoshield during the early fungal-development window. It targets susceptible fungi by disrupting membrane integrity, enzymatic activity, and metabolism, and can suppress spore germination, germ-tube development, and hyphal expansion.

02 · Larval growth control

Magzyme

Disrupt chitin formation and successful moulting

Magzyme targets actively feeding and developing larvae, interfering with chitin formation so the new cuticle grows weak or defective. That blocks normal moulting and can stall growth, moulting, and the larva's progress to pupation and adulthood.

03 · Biological larval control

Green Larvaex

Target larval feeding through gut-active biological control

Green Larvaex is a bacterial formulation built for insect larvae feeding on germinating grain and young sprouts. Once larvae ingest it, bioactive compounds attack the gut lining, cut digestion, and protect germination, roots, and early shoot growth.

Fodder Boost
Nutrient Science

Fodder Boost

Fodder Boost enriches the growing medium for hydroponic fodder sprouting, raising crude protein content, enzymatic activity, and dry matter yield per tray cycle. SGS lab data across multiple grain types backs the formulation.

Fodder Genesis
Germination Science

Fodder Genesis

Fodder Genesis is Shunya's seed germination protocol, a pre-soak and priming formulation that speeds up germination onset, evens out germination rates across a batch, and cuts the sprout-height variability that causes uneven harvests in hydroponic systems.

Maize Grain Selection
Grain Intelligence · White Paper

Beyond Grain Yield: Maize Hybrid Selection

Shunya built this research framework with ICAR–Indian Institute of Maize Research, linking grain genetics, production season, and kernel architecture to hydroponic fodder performance. It shows why high grain-yield hybrids aren't always high fodder-yield hybrids, why Rabi-season flint and semi-dent grain outperforms, and how AI-based screening through Shunya Drishti turns grain variability into a controllable input.

Innovation Stream · Technology

Software built for
rural India's realities

Our technology starts with the constraints of low-connectivity, high-variability rural environments, then works backward to engineering solutions that hold up in the field.

Geo Smart / Fresh Grid
Spatial Intelligence

Geo Smart & Fresh Grid

Geo Smart and Fresh Grid form a two-stage geospatial intelligence system. Geo Smart scores and ranks every state and district across 7 pillars, including livestock density, fodder deficit, water stress, and commercial readiness, to decide which markets to enter first. Fresh Grid then places each GLC using road-network geometry so service circles interlock with maximum coverage and no waste.

Shunya Drishti
Intelligence Layer

Shunya Drishti

Shunya Drishti is our operational intelligence dashboard, a real-time visibility layer across the entire GLC network. It surfaces production anomalies, delivery exceptions, subscriber churn signals, and quality deviations before they become field problems, giving the central team the same situational awareness at 5 GLCs or 500.

Shunya SMART VIDHI
Field Operations App

Shunya SMART VIDHI

The GLC working team runs the production floor on this app. It turns every task into a guided, step-by-step Vidhi, so operators know the next action in sequence without relying on memory or tenure. Urja and Drishti work directly inside the flow, so energy status and grain-quality screening show up in the same step-by-step process instead of living in separate tools.

Shunya ProductionOS
Production Management

Shunya ProductionOS

Shunya ProductionOS runs the batch-to-batch production cycle across every GLC: tray scheduling, yield logging, waste tracking, and quality checkpoints in one system. It gives site managers a single source of truth for what's growing, what's due, and what's falling behind.

Innovation Stream · Infrastructure

The physical backbone
behind every GLC

We solve for the physical and energy constraints of running production sites in rural India, where we can't assume grid reliability, backup power, or environmental control. We engineer around them instead.

Urja
Energy & Infrastructure

Urja

Urja is Shunya's energy infrastructure module for GLC operations, designed around rural India's power reliability constraints. It covers load management, backup power provisioning, energy cost monitoring per batch, and integration with the GLC's environmental control systems, keeping germination and growth conditions stable through grid outages.

Viksit Growth Structure
Growth Structure

Viksit Growth Structure

Shunya engineered Viksit as a made-for-India hydroponic growth structure, built around long, non-perforated trays and a laminar irrigation system. Water enters at one end, flows the length of the tray to keep the grain bed evenly moist, then exits through the open, ridged end into a collection channel for reuse. It's a closed-loop design built for commercial-scale GLC production.

Innovation Stream · Extensions

Tools we built for ourselves,
open to the ecosystem

Extensions started as internal operational needs. We productised them for the broader dairy and agri ecosystem, offering some free where shared knowledge is the benefit, and others by subscription where ongoing development and support earn the cost.

FeedRight Calculator
Nutrition Science · Free

Feed Right

FeedRight is a free, browser-based livestock ration calculator built on ICAR 2013 and NDDB RBP standards. It computes the optimal Total Mixed Ration for crossbred cows, indigenous breeds, and buffalo at any stage of production, with no login, no app, and no cost. It runs on the same nutritional science behind Shunya's own feed advisory work.

Herd Intel App
Livestock App

Herd Intel

Herd Intel is a mobile-first livestock lifecycle app for dairy farmers, covering animal registry, vaccination schedules, reproductive calendar, milk yield tracking, feed-to-yield correlation, and herd-level analytics. We built it for low-connectivity, multilingual rural environments, from a single cow to an institutional herd of 500 animals.

Shunya forBusiness
Business OS

Shunya DOST

Shunya DOST is a plug-and-play Sales, Distribution, and Marketing operating system for small businesses, built from the same modules Shunya uses to run its own daily-delivery network across rural India. It covers Field Force Management, Route Optimisation, and an Order Management System powered by a promotion, coupon, and cashback engine. SAMPARK, the marketing module, adds WhatsApp Commerce and voice agents alongside bulk messaging and IVR, backed by detailed analytics. It's subscription-based, with no long-term contract.
