About Biomoneta

Once upon a time, we asked ourselves: why do we treat infections after they happen instead of stopping them at the source?

Our answer was Biomoneta.

Founded in 2014, Biomoneta is an innovation-led healthcare company that creates solutions for infection prevention and control through air decontamination. We are a C-CAMP portfolio company, supported by institutions who understand that true healthcare begins before the first symptom of infection appears.

Our vision is to make clinically safe air a global standard – in every hospital, every lab, every workspace and every home.

Our flagship technology, ZeBox, is the first India-developed, globally validated advanced air decontamination technology that kills a broad spectrum of airborne pathogens – even drug-resistant organisms – works safely around people with zero downtime, and requires almost no maintenance ever.

A team obsessed with clean air

We are a team of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs making life impossible for airborne pathogens.
