It has launched the industry’s first copy-proof code and AI-based tamper-proof labels.

OneARVO claims it has already generated $10,000 in revenue from two paying clients and delivered four proof-of-concept (POC) projects. Over the next 12–18 months, the company plans to expand its AI lab and product team, deepen ERP and printing integrations, and accelerate enterprise deployments across pharmaceuticals, the automotive aftermarket, and industrial manufacturing in India and export markets.
