§ About

A studio of chemists and chemical engineers, building the greener version.

The story

Founded April 2020, in Mumbai.

Cat-Chem India was set up as an engineering-first consultation practice with a single conviction: catalyst design and reactor engineering are the shortest levers we have to greener chemistry.

From day one we combined a lab in Palghar with an engineering studio in Mumbai — data flows from the bench into models and back into the plant, in the same week, by the same team.

Mission

Move real industrial reactions to lower-carbon, lower-waste, lower-cost versions of themselves.

Vision

Enable net-zero in Indian chemical manufacturing, one reaction at a time.

§ Facilities

Two locations. One team. One workflow.

Mumbai HQ
Consultation · Engineering · Modeling
