Commenting on the partnership, Sachidanand Upadhyay, Founder, Lord's Mark Industries Pvt Ltd, said, "The collaboration with Sensing Self is in line with our vision to make diagnostics and disease prevention services more accessible and affordable for the majority of the population. The world's first saliva-based rapid antigen test kit of Sensing Self will act as a game-changer at the mass-level COVID-19 antigen screening in India by making it easy and convenient, cost-efficient and accessible. The idea behind the collaboration is to explore the technology collaborations to make COVID-19 antigen screening scalable and deployable to the remote parts of the country."
