The Science of Us
We're on a mission to give every Indian the genomic precision they deserve - because 1.4 billion people shouldn't be reduced to a single "South Asian" label.
Why We Built Helixline
South Asia is home to the most genetically diverse population on Earth - 4,500+ endogamous communities, each with distinct genetic signatures shaped over millennia. Yet global DNA tests treat this incredible diversity as a single bucket.
Helixline was born from frustration and a vision: to build a platform that truly understands Indian genetics, powered by South Asian-first reference data, and kept 100% within India.
Helixline identifies genetic similarity patterns based on population history. We do not identify or label caste, religion, or social identity.

Our Values
Data Sovereignty
Your genetic data stays 100% within India. We never share with overseas servers, employers, or insurance companies.
Scientific Rigor
Every algorithm is developed using peer-reviewed population genetics research and continuously validated against reference datasets specific to South Asian diversity.
Community First
Built for Indians, by Indians. We understand the nuances of endogamous communities that global tests miss entirely.

Real Discoveries, Real Stories
See how Helixline has helped Indians uncover their ancestral roots
"My family always said we were from Gujarat, but Helixline revealed a significant Rajasthani connection. When I asked my grandmother, she remembered her great-grandmother was indeed from Udaipur! It unlocked stories we had forgotten."
"23andMe just showed '100% South Asian' - useless for understanding my heritage. Helixline broke it down to Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and even identified my community cluster. Finally, a test that understands Indian diversity!"
"Through DNA matching, I connected with a distant cousin in the UK whose grandparents left during Partition. We've now reconstructed four generations of family history that was lost. Priceless."
"As a Hyderabadi Muslim, I was curious about my ancestry. Helixline showed a beautiful mix - local Deccani roots with traces of Mughal-era migrations. My haplogroup traced back to Central Asia, matching our family legends."
Individual results may vary. Genetic insights reflect probability, not certainty.
