Take an idea from a research paper to a commercial product shipped to clients in the US, EU and Asia — that is this job.

SDC (Spray Drying and Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.) is hiring founding scientists for its new Innovation Cell — people who will take ideas and client problems from concept to commercial reality, not maintain a system someone else built.

ABOUT SDC

We manufacture food and nutraceutical ingredients at Saykha Industrial Estate, Bharuch, Gujarat. We are FSSC 22000, Halal and Kosher certified, US FDA registered, and export to the US and EU. The plant runs 24x7 across spray-drying lines, and a major expansion is adding further capacity, a recent innovation laboratory in Surat and a pilot facility.

THE ROLE

You will work directly with the Director and the R&D; Lead on two fronts: developing our own next-generation functional ingredients, and solving real problems for clients — including international clients and large established companies — through our contract research work. The full journey is yours: literature and patent research, bench development, lab validation,



pilot-scale trials at Saykha, and commercial transfer. The scientists who join now will shape the Innovation Cell and grow into its leadership as it becomes a full-fledged Innovation Centre.

ROLE SUMMARY

• Levels: Scientist (3–5 years) and Junior Scientist (0–2 years) — one team, two entry points
• Location: Surat (Innovation Lab), with regular pilot trials at the Saykha (Bharuch) plant
• Reports to: R&D; Lead / Director
• Key interfaces: Director, Production, Quality, Sales, external clients (domestic and international), institutes and analytical laboratories
• Scope: New ingredient development and contract research — from literature to lab to pilot to commercial scale, under strict confidentiality of client and company IP
• Employment: Full-time

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You own projects end to end. Every scientist runs several of these in parallel — multitasking across projects is the normal state her
