Meet Dhruv Tomar, the innovator making food testing accessible for every Indian household.
Food adulteration is a silent threat to our health. Usually, testing requires expensive labs and professional expertise. Dhruv Tomar set out to change this by putting the power of safety directly into the hands of the common consumer.
Paper Pro uses deep-tech principles like MLense to offer a paper-based testing format. No electricity or complex machinery is needed! Just touch the sample to the paper, watch for a color change, and get results in seconds.
While perfect for homes and young parents, Paper Pro is a game-changer for street vendors, NGOs, and food inspectors. It’s a fast, reliable tool for field testing where resources and time are limited.
Paper Pro is gaining momentum in the B2B space.
Last Year Sales: ₹5,70,000
Last Quarter: ₹8,10,000
Latest Month: ~₹6,00,000 The brand is showing significant month-on-month growth through offline channels.
Dhruv entered the Tank seeking investment to scale his vision. He faced tough questions regarding product differentiation, scientific validation, and his strategy for moving from B2B to the wider consumer market (B2C).
The Sharks were intrigued by the technology but raised concerns about the competitive landscape and unit economics. Despite a novel proposal and a strong mission, Dhruv Tomar left the Tank without securing a deal.
