qZense Labs began as a Bengaluru food-technology business focused on measuring the freshness of produce without cutting it open. The company was incorporated in 2019, with public corporate records naming Srishti Batra and Rubal Chib as directors. Its product proposition combined sensor hardware with data analysis for participants in fresh-food supply chains.

The founders presented qZense Labs on Shark Tank India Season 1 and asked for ₹1 crore in exchange for 0.25% equity. The programme’s published pitch table records no completed investment. That outcome meant the company continued its development without an on-air Shark Tank deal.

The company’s website currently describes solutions for automating quality assessment and generating analytics across the fresh-food supply chain. It presents the technology as an Internet of Things system intended for produce businesses, rather than a consumer appliance. The site also says qZense received a National Technology Award in 2023; that award claim is reported here as the company’s statement.

Corporate information provides a more measured view of the latest financial position. The Company Check lists qZense Labs Private Limited as active and reports FY2024 revenue of ₹19.64 lakh. The same profile records a 92% year-on-year revenue decline, showing that the company’s latest reported scale was substantially below the preceding financial year.

That decline does not, by itself, establish that operations stopped. The legal entity remains active, its website continues to present commercial supply-chain products, and the directors remain associated with the company in registry-derived records. Publicly available information does not provide a later audited revenue figure that would demonstrate a recovery from FY2024.

The verified before-and-now comparison is therefore mixed. qZense progressed from an early food-freshness detector pitched on television to an incorporated business offering supply-chain sensing and analytics, while its latest available revenue data shows a sharp contraction. As of August 25, 2026, the company remains active, but the latest financial snapshot places it at ₹19.64 lakh revenue after a 92% annual fall.
