Our Story

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.

4,500+ Community Clusters
75+ Indian Regions
10x Finer Resolution
100% Data in India

"I founded Helixline because the most genetically diverse region on Earth - South Asia - was being treated as a single 'bucket' by global science. India isn't a monolith; it's a tapestry of 4,500 endogamous groups, each with its own story and medical needs. Helixline is my mission to bring world-class genomic precision home - giving you the keys to your community's history and your personal health future, built entirely on Indian soil."

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."

Discovery
Found 32% Rajasthani ancestry, confirmed through family oral history

"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!"

Result
State-level breakdown: 58% Tamil Nadu, 24% Kerala, 18% Karnataka

"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."

Connection
Matched with 3rd cousin, reunited family branches separated since 1947

"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."

Heritage
Y-DNA haplogroup R1a confirmed Central Asian paternal lineage
