The startup intends to use the funds to hire new employees, expand its R&D capabilities, and open its first factory to scale up production. The biotechnology sector in India, which was valued at $63 billion in 2019, is expected to grow to $150 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 16.4%. Loopworm competes in the sector with other biotech startups such as String and Eyestem.
