Founder and Leaders

Founding Thoughts
"What is that life worth which cannot bring comfort to others"
The doorstep 'Daktar'
The story of Dabur began with a small, but visionary endeavour by Dr. S. K.
Burman, a physician tucked away in Bengal. His mission was to provide effective
and affordable cure for ordinary people in far-flung villages. With missionary zeal
and fervour, Dr. Burman undertook the task of preparing natural cures for the killer

diseases of those days, like cholera, malaria and plague.

Soon the news of his medicines traveled, and he came to be
known as the trusted 'Daktar' or Doctor who came up with
effective cures. And that is how his venture Dabur got its
name - derived from the Devanagri rendition of Daktar
Burman.
Dr. Burman set up Dabur in 1884 to produce and dispense
Ayurvedic medicines. Reaching out to a wide mass of people
who had no access to proper treatment. Dr. S. K. Burman's
commitment and ceaseless efforts resulted in the company growing from a
fledgling medicine manufacturer in a small Calcutta house, to a household name
that at once evokes trust and reliability.

Milestones

Dabur India Ltd. made its beginnings with a small pharmacy, but has continued
to learn and grow to a commanding status in the industry. The Company has
come a long way in popularising and making easily available a whole range of
products based on the traditional science of Ayurveda. And Dabur has set very
high standards in developing products and processes that meet
stringent quality norms. As it grows even further, Dabur will continue to mark
up on major milestones along the way, setting the road for others to follow...
