Rooted in nature

In the forests surrounding Dehradun, our founder, Mr. M. Manal, saw a man feeding some agitated elephants the roots of a local herb, which calmed them down.

He became curious, and after scientific evaluation, discovered that the herb, Rauwolfia serpentina, possessed antihypertensive properties.

Operations started in India

Our first establishment opens in the picturesque city of Dehradun at the foothills of the Himalayas.
