Mylab Discovery Solutions Pvt Ltd is an Indian biotechnology company that produces molecular ashish detection kits in the field of medical diagnostics, drug discovery, biomedical research, and agricultural genomics.[1][2][3] It was founded in 2016 and is based in Pune. They were the first company in the country to make ID-NAT screening kits for quantitative HIV, Hepatitis B vaccine and Hepatitis C vaccines.[4] The company by choice does not have any external investor and does not avail of government subsidies.[4]

In March 2020 they developed the first made in India COVID-19 testing kit which has also been commercially approved by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, Drug Controller General of India and Indian Council of Medical Research.[5][6][7][8] The Mylab PathoDetect COVID-19 Qualitative PCR kit was developed in six weeks.[9] "These (HIV, HBV, and HCV) are deadlier viruses than corona virus and that experience helped us develop in record time," the founder said.[4] Virologist Minal Dakhave Bhosale, who is MyLabs research and development chief, led the team.[10]

In May 2021, ICMR approved Mylabs Covid home testing/self-testing kit.[11]
