Counterfeiting Is Becoming a Supply-Chain Risk, Not Just a Brand Issue
As Indian manufacturers scale across domestic and export markets, counterfeiting has moved beyond brand dilution into a larger trust and compliance problem. Pharmaceuticals, auto components, and industrial goods are increasingly vulnerable to tampering, grey-market diversion, and fake labels, exposing companies to revenue loss and regulatory risk. This has created demand for verifiable, tamper-proof product authentication systems that work at scale.
Funding Snapshot
Delhi-based deep-tech startup OneARVO has raised ₹1.23 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures.
The fresh capital will be used to strengthen the technology team, build an AI lab for datasets, and execute go-to-market initiatives.
What OneARVO Is Building
Co-founded in 2023 by Sumit Goswami and Duke Banerjee, OneARVO operates at the intersection of AI and blockchain to secure product authenticity across supply chains. The startup has developed a patented, tamper-proof and copy-proof labelling system that creates immutable digital records for products as they move from manufacturing to end customers.
Positioned as a supply chain integrity solutions provider, OneARVO combines smart product identification, AI-driven analysis, and blockchain-backed traceability. It claims to have launched the industry’s first copy-proof code along with AI-based tamper detection labels, aimed at preventing duplication and manipulation.
Early Traction and Why This Matters
OneARVO has already generated $10,000 in revenue from two paying customers and completed four proof-of-concept deployments. Over the next 12–18 months, it plans to deepen ERP and printing integrations and scale enterprise use cases across pharmaceuticals, automotive aftermarket, and industrial manufacturing.
For Indian startups, this funding signals growing investor interest in deep-tech infrastructure solving real-world trust gaps. As supply chains digitise, authenticity and traceability are emerging as core enterprise requirements, not optional add-ons.
