At the age of 19, while pursuing a B.Sc. in Information Technology, Dhruv Tomar came across a staggering revelation—over 85% of India’s milk-consuming population was at risk due to adulteration. Deeply alarmed and inspired to act, he decided to channel his passion for technology into solving a real and urgent public health crisis.

Driven by a vision to make food safer and accessible technology the norm, Dhruv teamed up with Rajat Jain, a like-minded innovator, to co-found M-Lense Research Private Limited in September 2020. The duo set up operations in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, with expansion into Dehradun, Uttarakhand, and began their mission to revolutionize milk safety in India.

Existing milk adulteration testing methods were often expensive, complicated, and inaccessible to the masses—especially small-scale dairy farmers and rural households. Recognizing this gap, Dhruv and Rajat developed PaperPro, a simple, disposable, and cost-effective paper-based testing card capable of instantly detecting 14 types of milk adulterants. Consumers, dairy farmers, and food safety officials can now verify milk purity on the spot, at the point of sale or consumption.

Backed by the Chitkara Innovation Incubator Foundation (CIIF), which provided essential funding and mentorship, M-Lense overcame early-stage challenges and scaled its impact rapidly. Today, the company holds over five patents and has earned the trust of major government dairy cooperatives including the Punjab Milk Federation (Verka), Uttarakhand Milk Federation (Aanchal), and Haryana Milk Federation (Vita).
