Building the Materials of Tomorrow
Brio is building a new generation of manufacturing technologies that transform underutilised biomass into high-value industrial materials.We combine proprietary chemistry, process engineering and manufacturing to produce materials designed for real-world industrial applications.Our focus is simple: take abundant, underutilised resources and turn them into products that industry needs.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Industries around the world need more resilient, efficient and diversified sources of critical materials.At the same time, agricultural and industrial by-products contain enormous quantities of valuable chemical building blocks.Brio brings these two opportunities together, converting underutilised resources into industrial materials through advanced manufacturing.
OUR MANUFACTURING PLATFORM
Brio's technologies are built with manufacturing economics, process efficiency and scalability at their core. From feedstock processing and chemical conversion to purification, material engineering and finishing, we are developing integrated manufacturing processes designed to deliver consistent, high-performance materials at scale.Our goal isn't simply to develop new materials. It's to manufacture them competitively.
OUR PRODUCTS
We are building a portfolio of high-performance materials across multiple industrial markets.Biomass-Derived Precipitated SilicaOur first manufacturing platform produces high-performance precipitated silica from rice husk ash.BrioSIL™ is being developed for applications across Tyres, Rubber, FMCG and Oral Care, creating a new supply pathway for an established industrial material.PolysiliconWe are developing manufacturing pathways for high-purity silicon and polysilicon from biomass-derived feedstocks.Our long-term focus includes materials for solar, electronics and semiconductor applications.Silicon CarbideWe are expanding into silicon carbide, a high-performance material used across power electronics, energy and advanced manufacturing.Our objective is to develop scalable biomass-derived manufacturing routes for this critical material.

WHERE WE'RE GOING
Our initial manufacturing platform is focused on biomass-derived silica. From there, we are expanding into polysilicon, silicon carbide and other high-value specialty chemicals and advanced materials. Over the long term, Brio aims to build a portfolio of manufacturing technologies across the biomass-to-materials value chain.
FOUNDER
An Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship graduate from the University of Manchester, Sahil Manucha founded Brio after seeing the untapped material value in India's agricultural by-products. What began with exploring rice husk ash as a source of industrial silica has evolved into a broader ambition: building advanced manufacturing capabilities around specialty chemicals, polysilicon and silicon carbide.
Today, Sahil is focused on taking these technologies from development to scalable industrial manufacturing in India.
