About

Two people who kept running into the same gap.

Alpha Human exists because identical nutrition plans produce completely different results in bodies that look the same on paper, and because the explanation was sitting in genomics data that never reached the clinic.

Nutrition advice in India is largely borrowed. The reference ranges come from Western cohorts, the protocols come from Western training, and the results come out inconsistent, because the bodies they are applied to are not the bodies they were derived from.

Alpha Human was built to close that gap with measurement rather than opinion. Whole-genome sequencing, a 110-marker blood panel, and continuous wearable data, read together and turned into one protocol that changes as the numbers change.

The company is deliberately small and deliberately clinical. The people who designed the science are the people who answer the phone.

The founders

Shah Fahad

Founder and CEO

Fahad spent 15 years building nutrition protocols for people who were already doing everything right (Indian cricketers, Olympians, Paralympians, Bollywood actresses and international golfers), and watching identical plans produce completely different results in bodies that looked the same on paper. The explanation, when he found it, was in the genetics. He trained in nutrigenetics, built Adam’s Genetics on the back of that work, published a study on corporate executives, and brought the whole architecture into Alpha Human. He designs every nutrition protocol and owns the clinical framework that sits behind the programme.

Ashish Mittal

Founder and Chief Scientific Officer

Ashish spent his career generating genetic data that rarely left the lab. At CSIR Institute of Genomics and the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, and then building sequencing facilities from scratch for hospitals and research institutes across India, he watched extraordinary biological precision go nowhere clinically useful. Building Alpha Human with Fahad was the first time his genomics work had a direct line to someone changing how they ate. At Alpha Human, he leads the DNA programme, lab infrastructure, and the science of turning raw sequencing output into something a nutrition protocol can actually use.
