Cilicant is an Indian Primary active packaging manufacturer headquartered in Pune, primarily catering to the healthcare industry in India. Cilicant operations are spread across three manufacturing facilities based in Pune Maharashtra. Cilicant has employed more than 50% women as its workforce. The pay parity and egalitarianism have developed a healthy working environment for women.

It manufactures active packaging products such as active sorbents, which include desiccants like Silica Gel, Molecular Sieve for moisture control, and Activated Carbon for odor control, etc.

Active packaging plays an important role in keeping pharmaceutical products safe, stable, and extending their shelf life. Active packaging is widely used in the healthcare industry with respect to pharmaceutical, medical devices, nutraceuticals; along with processed and packaged food, electronics, defense, and aerospace, etc.

Cilicant was founded in 2011 by Mr. Manish Jain with a vision to become an indigenous source that manufactures the right quality of active packaging to protect the products from degrading effects of moisture and oxygen which was one of the major concerns of the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical industry is amongst few industries which understand the criticality of having the right active packaging in the formulation of the product's shelf life. The selection of active packaging is thus based upon many stability studies and trials. Given this scenario, the active packaging in India, primarily has been coming from multi-national players, when India is poised to manufacture the same international standard and quality indigenously.

In 2012, Cilicant established its 2nd manufacturing facility in Pune, Maharashtra dedicated to cater to the healthcare industry. Followed by holding type III DMF (drug master file) with USFDA in 2013.
