Why Auriga's Mind to Market Model

Four differentiators that separate Auriga from conventional CMOs and CDMOs.

We Own the Full Journey

Most contract manufacturers expect a finalised formula. Auriga supports your product from idea and formulation through testing, claim substantiation, manufacturing, and commercialisation under one relationship.

In-House Analytical Testing

Our NABL-accredited laboratories sit alongside our manufacturing operations. Raw material, in-process, stability, and release testing run on-site, which removes third-party turnaround time from your timeline.

Integrated Clinical Division for Claims

Our CDSCO-approved clinical division supports safety and efficacy claim substantiation, including HRIPT, PIPT, SPF, Corneometer, Cutometer, and BTBP imaging studies on the same batch you manufacture with us.

Pharma-Grade Manufacturing Facility

Our facility in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh is GMP-certified, ISO 22716-compliant, AYUSH-registered for Ayurvedic and herbal products, and registered with the US FDA under MoCRA.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Auriga's Mind to Market CDMO model?
Mind to Market is our end-to-end approach. A single CDMO engagement covers idea to formulation, prototype development, analytical and stability testing, safety studies and claim substantiation, contract manufacturing, and commercialisation. Our analytical and testing laboratories and our clinical division support the manufacturing operation, so brand owners work with one accountable partner across the journey.
What product categories does Auriga manufacture?
Personal care and cosmetics (skincare, haircare, body care, sunscreens, men's grooming, baby care), Ayurvedic and herbal products, nutraceuticals (tablets, capsules, softgels, powders, liquids), and pet care products (shampoos, paw creams, ear cleaners, dental products, and supplements).
What accreditations and registrations does the manufacturing facility hold?
Our manufacturing facility in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh is GMP-certified, ISO 22716-compliant, AYUSH-registered for Ayurvedic and herbal products, and registered with the US FDA under MoCRA. Our analytical and testing laboratories are NABL-accredited under ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Note that NABL accreditation applies to our laboratory and testing operations and not to manufacturing.
Is the nutraceutical manufacturing under FSSAI or AYUSH?
Nutraceutical manufacturing at Auriga is conducted under AYUSH manufacturing registration. FSSAI Nutraceutical Regulations apply to product-level claims and labelling, which we support on the finished product.
How is Auriga different from other Indian CDMOs?
Many CDMOs route testing and clinical work to external vendors. Auriga has its own NABL-accredited analytical and testing laboratories and a CDSCO-approved clinical division alongside the manufacturing operation. Brand owners get formulation, testing, claim substantiation, and manufacturing under a single accountable partner.
Does Auriga offer private labelling?
Yes. We support private label manufacturing across personal care, nutraceuticals, and pet care, including formulation (custom or from our existing library), manufacturing, quality testing, stability studies, packaging, and labelling under your brand name. Documentation and export support are provided as per applicable regulatory requirements for your target market.
