Introduction
Incorporated in the year 1989 as Advanced Biochemicals Private Limited, Advanced Enzyme Technologies Limited (AETL) has firmly established itself as a pioneer and leader in the global enzyme and probiotic manufacturing industry. The company’s journey, however, began much earlier, in 1957, when its founder, Late L. C. Rathi, pioneered the extraction of papain, an enzyme complex derived from papaya. This significant innovation laid the groundwork for India’s first enzyme production facility, which was established in 1958. Over the years, AETL has transformed from a small enzyme producer into a globally recognized brand, setting benchmarks in the biotechnology sector.
