India’s manufacturing progress relies heavily on the advancement of the material testing industry. The sector is undergoing massive transformation and expansion fueled by stricter quality standards, and emerging application demands across industries like pharma, biotech, filtration, energy, aerospace, space research, semiconductors, automotive, and sustainability-driven sectors.
Regulatory tightening in critical sectors are pushing manufacturers to adopt advanced testing methods, traceable data, digital reporting, and validation-ready systems.
Development of new materials further demands specialized testing methods, while circular economy measures prioritize robust materials testing. Yet, despite rising demand, India strongly relies on importing analytical instruments.
This import dependency has retarded progress in India. Remedying this challenge to the sector and enhancing self-reliance, M19 Material Intelligence Lab is pioneering India's material testing ecosystem.
Blending world-class testing services with scientific instrument manufacturing, the company’s unique dual expertise sets it apart compared to traditional laboratories around the world.
A domestic player in an internationally dominated sector, M19 Material Intelligence Lab leverages precision lab technologies and end-to-end automation to meet evolving industry demands, driving sustainable innovative, and cost-effective solutions for India’s self-reliance.

M19 lab products are not only compliant, high precision, end-to-end automated, but also affordable. Enhancing local innovation in material testing and quality control, M19 Material Intelligence Lab is well positioned as a strategic enabler for India’s R&D and manufacturing self-reliance.
Its expert R&D guidance including test method development, sample preparation, and simulating working conditions enables a seamless experience while its post-testing support helps clients navigate data interpretation challenges. Its bespoke instrumentation support plays a pivotal role in supporting clients with in-house testing capabilities that integrate seamlessly into existing operations.
Journey & Future Roadmap
Based in Vadodara, M19 Material Intelligence Lab's journey started with a grant funding by the Gujarat Govt Startup Scheme. Vadodara, as a growing hub for scientific, biotech and industrial innovation is the perfect land, offering cost-effectiveness, talent access, and proximity to key research ecosystems.
Leveraging this strategic location, M19 Material Intelligence Lab aims to redefine the advanced materials industry through a moonshot vision, empowering scientists, engineers, and innovators to invent in India and position the nation as a leading force in scientific innovation by 2030.
“Moving ahead, we seek to focus on deploying advanced AI & ML capacities especially in crucial sectors such as air pollution, water purification, desalination, sterile drug manufacturing, green hydrogen, coal gasification, battery technology, defense production, space research, semiconductors and sustainable energy”, adds Swasti Dey.
Beyond this goal, the company has planned to expand its R&D capabilities, launch new analytical machines, and foster academic partnerships to upskill local talent. Its growth plans also include export initiatives through which it aims to take India to the global stage, positioning it as an emerging leader in scientific laboratory technologies.
